So do they go with 16 teams right away next year?

It’s going to happen and how the 4 quarterfinals played out… wouldn’t be surprised if it does.

12 is already too many but they’re certainly not gonna go to less games.

This isn't of course fully in context, but to give some indication of what it takes in the early stages of the NIL era...

The Buckeyes have the best roster in college football by a country mile, one that athletic director Ross Bjork bragged cost them more than $20 million to keep together.

NIL, Transfer Portal, opt-outs….I still watch college sports but the lines are blurred. It's commonplace now for an announcer to refer to a player as "...a transfer from..."

It seems recruiting hardly matters much anymore. If you get a couple nice players and the team falters, they bolt. If your team sucks, you go trolling the portal to cover your recruiting mistakes. Hockey teams like MI State have several players from various schools who have put them over the top.  This is just the beginning.

Personally... Going back to 8 falls in the hands of the 4 first round bye team's complaints. It'll stay of 12 if not 16 next year. And they to keep it at a true seeded tourney. Just like basketball... no reseeding round by round.

He was definitely knocked out or at the least concussed. They for sure didn’t give him any concussion testing.

It must be a UND thing… Notre Dame football fans are just like North Dakota hockey fans… they don’t like when the basic rules of the game go against them.

Georgia’s QB Carson Beck declared for the draft after the season. Yesterday news broke that he was instead entering the transfer portal. He ends up with Miami and it is now being reported that he signed for $4M. That’s a hefty price to pay for a struggling QB.

One of the most boneheaded moves you'll ever see. Texas looked like they were close to folding before that.

OSU had Texas on the ropes and was going to easily drive down for a 14-0 lead and Howard was dealin’. Really changed the whole feel of the game.

Go Notre Dame… the Ohio State arrogance (fans, players, coaches, even the band) is tooooooo much. Plus, how Ohio acted after getting beat by Michigan is all the more.

Ohio State gets by with so much in the defensive backfield. 

They also got away with a blatant hold on that game winning drive (the third and long conversion at midfield).

I like seeing Big Ten teams beat SEC teams.

I also like seeing Michigan fans try to brag about their win over Ohio State after every Ohio State play off win. 😉 🤣 

Congratulations on your regular season win and finishing 5-4 in the Big Ten tied with the Gophers.

This has gone about how I thought it would. OSUs D is too good and NDs O is too one dimensional. If you can match up size wise with NDs line you can load up to stop the run knowing Leonard isn’t good enough to beat you throwing it. On the other side, the OSU O has Henderson who’s a great back and Smith will be a top 10 overall drafted WR who slants the field. Howard is a draftable talent level QB, Leonard isn’t. Playing from behind Leonard will probably start forcing throws and get a couple picks. I’ll be surprised if ND can even make this interesting, especially with OSU getting the ball to start the second half.
