How does every game not matter when it comes down to the best 16 teams in the nation battling it out?

It doesn't take much intelligence to understand that if a team can make the playoffs with a, say, 9-3 record ( like several teams would have this year ) that teams can mail-in a few regular season games, with no disadvantage.

Check out the recent Broncos vs Chiefs game.

Penn St up 10-3 at halftime, defensive battle as I expected. We’ll see if Leonard returns, but ND’s O needs to do better.

11 taps himself out after the 'big sack'.

Top 10 pick NFL draft?

Pass. I want hard ass competitors, not situational players.

It'll be interesting to see what adjustments N.D. makes at halftime.

And they looked better with the back up QB.

The NFL comparison is weird, since they play 5 more games and also most late season college games have some significance as most teams are playing conference rivals or at the very least in-conference opponents and normally schedule easier games early.

But whatever, Oregon got rocked. RIP

Why do you think the number of games is relevant? Why do you think teams would only mail-in late-season games? We might right now be watching a precedent set that a team can fail to show up for September non-conference games against MAC opponents, and still win a championship.

But whatever, Oregon got rocked. RIP

I'm not sure what relevance you imagine that has, either, nor who you think passed away.

ND with a big stop on 3rd down there, forces a punt.

Damn that was a hell of a read and play by Carter, making a tackle-for-loss on a sweep away from him.

Less games means less margin of error for any given team so my point would be it behooves a college team to not mail-in any games whatsoever, the kids that aren’t going beyond college are playing for the love of the game and pride. Potential NFL players are as well and also playing for scouts etc.

Oh are you not the one that said Oregon deserves a share of the title regardless of what happens? Must’ve been someone else :noidea:

No 2 second delay on ESPN 2. They’re letting some words fly.
