Oooffff. Thought this was bonkers scheduling to begin with. Seems like a bad look at face value.

I think it's complete BS the Big Ten has a rule as to who you play. They already control 75% of the schedule with conference games. Let teams play who they want.

Trying to reserve judgement until it plays out completely, but the idea of a 7th year regime bailing on a series against a regional rival with whom you really should be reasonably competitive and against whom you will certainly be recruiting seems, well, pathetic. I’m not sure you’re not better off playing those games even if you lose them.

Anybody notice Colorado's transfers coming in? This is exactly how I'd be 'recruiting' my football team if I were a HC in the FCS. It will be interesting to see if this translates to wins.  I'm betting it does.

This type of thing is why I think there’s more to this story. You’re gonna play, at worst, an AAC team every year anyway. 
 

(It’s still possible we’re just being frickin’ losers which sucks hard)

I always thought that was the rule as well, in which case I'm curious how Michigan got away with scheduling UConn, Hawaii, and Colorado State in the non-con for 2022.

I think they grandfathered UConn from being an AAC school when they scheduled the game.

You're probably right, I totally forgot about them being AAC previously.  Still winds me up how weak Michigan's non-con has been both of the last two years and will be next year too.

Not sure what ECU has coming back, but that could be a sneaky really annoying game for them especially in week 1. But overall yeah their non-con is hilariously bad.

It's damn shame college football season is ending tonight folks. Cheering for TCU but know the chances of them winning is slim to none. Hope they pull off the upset, especially all the SEC folk crying Roll Tide robbery.

And you think a UC Santa Barbara Banana Slug is better?

It's also worse than an Atkansas Monticello Boll Weevil

What a dud of a game

[Alford Bailey]

And that’s why you put Alabama in over TCU

[Hoosierfan2017]

Stop putting Big 12 teams in the playoff. 

[Hovadipo]

I would disagree with the notion that TCU didn’t earn its way into the national championship game. It sucks that this game sucks, but they beat the undefeated B1G champ to get here. 

Major perk of going to 12 is that people won’t care nearly as much about teams 13-15 not getting in. 

[Alford Bailey]

Ohio St and Alabama are the only 2 teams with the horses to compete with Georgia. I understand why TCU is here but man is this lopsided.

[Hoosierfan2017]

Even assuming arguendo that TCU deserved its spot, this game was the most predictable thing ever. At the least they should’ve put TCU at 4 after they lost to KSU to get the massacre out of the way in the semifinal.
