Let's talk about fun stuff, like the new playoff coming.  BONER

Or the first 3-loss team being crowned National Champion. BONER

There hasn't been a 3 loss team in the top 4 of the BCS in the last 14 years.... So what was the point again?

Fork is lamenting the day when they inevitably expand to 8, then 12, then 16, then 24, and probably eventually 32 teams, which would inevitably force the playoff to start around Thanksgiving weekend giving you a slate of 16 games from Wednesday night through the Saturday after Thanksgiving. You'll then have a few decent games every weekend culminating with a Final Four on New Year's Day and a championship game the week after. And when that 3-loss team wins, they'll have three somewhat fluky losses against top tier opponents and then they'll have won five playoff games.

To me, that would be glorious. Had Gordon Hayward made that half-court shot against Duke in 2010, would moan "Oh this sucks, a Horizon League team that lost to a couple shitty teams along the way won the national championship?" Or would they note that the current college football season is a pile of shit because the national championship is decided less on what happens on the field than on what happens off of it.

What happens off of it is tantamount to raping a child.

I'd like to congratulate the commissioners for coming up with a playoff system that illinois will never qualify for.

Really?  Because that doesn't seem too hard.
