And in the new world of 24 team playoffs, today wouldn't matter whatsoever (probably doesn't even matter now). The regular season is dying.
Not at all, these games would still be as fun all the same. If this season was 24 you think it wouldn’t have been exciting. The regular season is only 12 games, it’s not like basketball or baseball etc so there is still a premium on them regardless of 24.

If anything it shows the necessity of 24 (more access) because parity is better than ever and more teams these days are capable of beating each other.

Nope, only exciting when the games have consequences. If you like the 24-team playoffs, you need to own the fallout.

There are always consequences…seeding, home field advantage and qualification at all.

Today didn’t show regular season games don’t matter, it showed that anyone is capable of beating anyone and more teams should have access and opportunity. Everyone has flaws to some degree.

Not when 3-4 loss teams will routinely waltz into the playoffs. Besides, nobody cares about seeding.

Seeding matters because it’s home field or not or having a bye or not or playing a potentially easier road or not.

Also some (not all) 3-4 loss teams are better these days than the past and 1-2 loss teams aren’t as strong as the past. That’s the point because of increased parity teams aren’t as far apart as the past so more access is better.

Love seeing Chris Ash lose but that was PI on the last play. And like that Twitter post said, there was still time left in the game. Refs probably were trying to make up for Notre Dame favoritism earlier in the game.

Did Ian Strong piss someone off on Cal Coaching Staff?
27-0 Wake Forest over Cal so far.





I saw Strong's stats other other day and it seems like he's not being used well

I saw some RU reception records and was surprised that Strong is 2nd for most consecutive 100 yd games (4) and 7th for most 100 yd games.

He's on the list for most TDs in a game with 3

How do we know the ref who ducked out of the way for the BYU TD was actually a ref and not a ND staffer? 😉

My guy Jason Eck down 10-0 on the road in rainy Hawaii
New Mexico came back to win the game 21-10

UL beat the Cuse 34-26
MTSU beat Delaware 33-30

Looks like Nebraska did Nebraska things and lost 17-14 to Oregon

Colorado shockingly actually pushed Utah….they came back in a see saw game but ultimately lost 27-24

WF beat Cal 41-7 and beat both them and Stanford by a combined score 98-10. I wonder if one them wishes they tried to keep Dickert on the west coast instead of letting him cross country to WF.
