How excited will you be to see another Alabama/Clemson matchup for the championship?

[bodyforlife]

Would this be like 4 out of the last 5 years? Wasn't LSU the only one that broke the streak?

Bama/Ohio St.

 

[Willie99]

I'm cool, as long as I win money

 

[ERockMoney]

I believe it would be four of the last six. Only two that weren’t Bama/Clemson during that run featured one of the two, LSU/Clemson and Bama/Georgia.

I think this is one of the reasons I prefer college basketball. You can have 3 quality players and still be very competitive. It just seems all the top recruits are looking to go to 4-5 colleges and they always seem to be in the playoffs/championships.

I think I'm good one last time but have seen enough of these two as well as Ohio State. Would like to see some new blood succeed.

 

[PoundFoolish]

Coastal/Liberty would have been better opponents vs Alabama

 

[slapshot]

Can’t wait they are the best 2 teams

Except this year, Duke and Kentucky are garbage. Coach K knows it too, good, because he might be one of the only people in the World I actually hate...

Maybe I'm not understanding your reply. When I said all the top recruits want to go to 4-5 schools, I was referring to football. Basketball is the sport where 3 out of 5 good players still keeps you competitive. Duke and Kentucky certainly aren't on the same level in basketball as a Clemson or Alabama in football

Other teams should suck less

Sorry, misunderstanding. My comment on Coach K stands, he’s a POS.

Gonzaga is the Clemson/Bama of football the last couple of years. They would’ve won last year, and they may win as an undefeated team this year...

Gonzaga is also playing one helluva a schedule, sucks the Baylor game got canceled. Can’t say that for these OOC teams football universities schedule...

 

[MattyMatt]

And I disagree that all recruits wanna go to 4-5 schools In CFB.

 

[THawk+]

Thing is a top recruit goes to Bama is 3rd string, plays some, then gets drafted in third round not having played that much and still get drafted pretty high.

They preserve their body, play for a top team, get drafted, make money.

This Rose Bowl game doesn't have much energy.

Thinking everyone else, Bama knew they could just do whatever and win.

We can agree to disagree. But the fact that it is typically those 4-5 teams in the championship tells me any players that didn't choose those schools likely couldn't have started on them, and therefore aren't the pinnacle of recruits.

The four team playoff format has led to a recruiting scenario where only five or six teams get the five star top level players. It is a self perpetuating system where Alabama, Clemson, Ohio state, and ND/LSU/Oklahoma are able to qualify. It needs to change because it is killing the regular season.

That's the way I see it on the recruiting side.

Do you think it needs to expand?

I hear a lot of people say expansion would dilute the regular season. College football is unique in that you basically have to be unscathed.

I personally would like to see 8 teams. Maybe do conference champs, with the condition that they have a maximum of two losses. 3 at-larges. First round is in higher seed's stadium
