Every single media bully and pawn actively attacking the G5 inclusion in the #CFP would’ve rooted for the Soviets at the Miracle on Ice in 1980. There’s nothing more American than rooting for the underdog when everyone counts them out.

Absolute spineless silence from people who are supposed to protect these institutions and in most cases, the tax payers who own them. Not one antitrust lawsuit. Pathetic. Disney needed a massive change order to their TV deals before another pathetic earnings report sunk them on the 17th. Instead of letting them drown, you all just offered them your heads to stand on. The people at fault here are the docile herd of elected representatives, university presidents, conference commissioners and athletic directors. Academics and bureaucrats don't have the best reputation, but Christ, you'd think there's be at least one who would have to balls to call up their lawyers and start swinging.
Breaking: The College Football Playoff and ESPN have signed a five-year, nearly $1.7 billion deal that will expand the field to 24 teams in 2027 with ESPN as its continued broadcast partner, sources told @CFBHeather.

It remains to be one of the most ridiculous things in sports that the company which has a broadcast deal with a conference also gets to create its own playoff format and pick and choose the teams it wants in that format.
The CFP and ESPN have agreed on a five-year, nearly $1.7 billion deal that will expand the field to 24 teams in 2027 with ESPN as its continued broadcast partner, sources told ESPN, a seismic move that also eliminates the lucrative Power 4 conference championship games.

Any politician want to save college football from ESPN and the CFP? Just look at the comments to see how deeply unpopular this is @SenateDems @SenateGOP @HouseDemocrats @HouseGOP

ESPN should have nothing to do with the CFP. Saying that the CFP & ESPN have agreed on something is tantamount to saying the SEC has agreed to a 5yr contract with the CFP. College football knew this was coming, but it shouldn’t be subjected to the Rule of ESPN or any network.

I absolutely hate what we’re doing to the Group of 6
The 24-team CFP format: 4 auto bids: ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and SEC champions 1: highest-ranked G6 team 19 at-large: highest-ranked remaining teams in the committee’s final rankings

10 conference champions. 14 at-large bids. If people are so worried about the regular season losing value, this is the only correct format for a 24-team playoff.

The two aren't an apples to apples comparison... But the last local legend who wore 17 and was hired as head coach of his former team worked out.

NEW: Illinois' Bret Bielema after beating Nebraska: "But to be in this job, where we’re at right now, 6-3, we beat another 5-3 team. If we were in the SEC, we’d probably be a top-15 team." (via @IllinoisRivals) on3.com/news/bret-bielema-af…

Lots of ways to sum up Nebraska football in the Big Ten. Sometimes it’s really simple: 1-5 in last 6 vs. Illinois 0-6 in last 6 vs. Minnesota 1-10 in last 11 vs. Iowa 1-10 in last 11 vs. Wisconsin

The CFP selection committee picks and chooses when it wants to use its own protocols. This week, it decided to apply them differently to Alabama and Tennessee. Indiana and Notre Dame. Utah and UCLA. For no good reason! On these egregious rankings: nbcsports.com/college-footba…

There’s a grunge-themed wrestler named Steven Flowe whose theme song is ‘Even Flow’ by Pearl Jam… except all the lyrics are just his name. And as commitment to the aesthetic? Double flannel. Living every ’90s kid’s dream 🤘
