Who incessantly whine about the current state of CFB. This is been a great season of CFB (not for us unfortunately) and last year had some great games as well. With the 14 team playoff, it is only going to be better. Yes, we are down biggly, but there's plenty of programs who have less resources than us that have had success this year. We'll be back to 7-5 type program by 2026, if not next year. We had a pretty much unprecedented situation where our legendary coach died on active duty, had he lived we'd be coming off back to back 9 win seasons, unfortunately his replacement made Croom look competent. Lebby is building, I believe in him.
I feel like I’m a pretty tolerant person when it comes to opinions, but there have been two recent takes over the last couple years that I don’t think could’ve been any more short sighted or flat out wrong
1) NIL won’t matter or change anything
2) Expanding the CFP will kill college football and make the regular season meaningless
This season is going to be a 13-wk long wild roller coaster ride with no less than 30-40 teams believing that they have a shot at a special season, and there was never any remote chance that an expanded playoff was going to make the regular season meaningless. Our season has sucked, no doubt, but if we were sitting at 5-2 or even 4-3 right now, even we’d be conjuring up scenarios that might allow State to sneak in. My wife, a Memphis grad, has been glued to the G5 projections all season, and she believes
This is all before we even get to the actual playoff which which will be a who’s who of matchups that college football fans grew up dreaming about seeing. I hate a lot of aspects about the current product, but it’s still an incredible product to watch, and State’s time will come
