theguru Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 When there is a reasonable semblance of parity. Exactly! Not enough teams get in the playoffs which means the best NFL talent coming out of high school gravitates towards a few teams stacked at the top. Then you have a bunch of College D1 also-ran teams that get out there and compete but they have little or no chance against the top teams. In short, I find College Football to be rather boring because of the lack of parity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Cat Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Notre Dame hasn't been relevant in a long time so I really can't comment on how they impact the league. Played in a championship game 4 seasons ago. Can't get much more relevant than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeDog Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 College football is at its best when they have the really good teams (let's say... Bama, Texas, OSU, Michigan, USC) but also have upsets in major bowl games. It keeps the whole "magic of college football" there. 2007 Fiesta Bowl anyone? :sneaky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManOfTroy Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 In alphabetical order: Alabama, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Texas, USC. These 7 schools reign supreme for me as far as I think it really helps the sport of college football when they are elite teams within the sport. I think those are a good list but it's the great rivalries that make it great (if Miami is great, then it's better if FSU is great too). I'd add one SEC power, Florida State, Oklahoma just to make great rivalry games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jericho Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 How so? I sit all day and watched games, no responsibility on Saturday. I knew every team and who was on them, and rankings. Now Im married I dont know crap but Alabama is king and I have to do house and yard work and take kids to ball games and do stuff with the wife. Im lucky to see a college game.

GrantNKY Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 ......when U.L. Coach B. Petrino is unemployed . Crappy dudes who just happen to be great football coaches will always be employed. Unless you are just an absolutely heartless human being like Art Briles of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACfan4 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 If the playoff system was 8 teams instead of 4 I think it would be a lot more enjoyable, and a better chance for a non power 5 school to be somewhat of a cinderella team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
