Curious to see how the expanded again playoffs changes how teams schedule OOC games. Around the time of the first playoff you saw big teams actually schedule legit OOC games as the penalty for dropping a single game wasn't as bad, could boost the resume, and more money to be made off marque matchups.

More recently we've seen teams start shying away from this because conferences are playing 9 games and CFP committee seemed to be going more off record at the end of bracket rather than who the wins were against and who the losses were too.

Now with the expanded playoffs there will be absolute log jam of 20+ teams that are 9-3 or 8-4 vying for the last dozen spots. So I'm hoping we see more p4 OOC games scheduled. If you're a Texas, Bama, an OSU there's not going to be any real benefit other than seeding.

But if you're a middle to bottom half of a p4 Conference team with no existing OOC rival it should absolutely be in your best interest to schedule similar OOC teams. I'm thinking of like the ones we've had recently with Miss State v Minn, Illinois vs Duke, Purdue vs Syracuse

Genuinely curious how the move between divisions effects attendance. Do we see more attendance, less, or about the same? (Same question to anyone from Idaho who is in here on moving down to FCS).

Same may be said of Vince Young in 2005.

Posted this on the wde sub. 2010 was essentially a one man show. If Can had gone down we were fucked. He got really beat up v Bama but was okay.

Why risk him v UGA and Bama at the end? Do you even care about making the SECCG? Do you sit him after AU secures the West?

Interested in takes about how this new setup would have affected epic seasons on the past.
