    what happens come Playoff selection time?

    Big 12 will play 8 regular season games vs. the ACC will play 11 regular season games

    if you thought the playoff selection committee was a joke before, wait until this circus starts

      No its not

      Just like its not fair that so many states were too cowardly to join New Jersey & a few other states in their court battles for sports betting legalization, but want to jump on the bandwagon after the fact and reap the rewards

          Not even close to the same, Hman. lol. Think about how precedent works.

          But anyway...

          What about the Commander in Chief's trophy?

          Navy is scheduled for 11 games and Army for 12 but Air Force is only scheduled for two games...against Navy and Army.

          If they win those they win the Trophy.

          So yeah, something off there.

          But if Big 10 can get 8 games in, then maybe the could expand the playoffs to make it a decen post season.

          Otherwise, it's a legit question the playoff committee will have to deal with.

                Governor/King Newsome is now forced to eat the shit someone left on Pelosi's porch last week.

                  Yes it’s fair all these acc teams and sec teams are going to play some crap FCS teams and out of conference crap teams. I’m actually excited about less games I personally don’t need to see some of these schools win 69-12 every week I mean you already have Rutgers and Maryland for that and that’s enough.

                      Huh? The SEC are only playing games versus other SEC schools. 10 games total. No crappy FCS teams on the schedule.

                        Who cares it is more chances to find winners. More games = more action, that is all that matters.

                                      the only question of fairness here should be

                                      was it fair for schools, conferences, politicians to rob these student athletes of ANY of their season?

                                      who cares about frivolous things like records and playoffs ect

                                      Its great to see these young people get some of their freedoms and future opportunities back

                                        Yes there is a wave of change afoot.

                                        All we can hope for is that the shit doesn't hit the fan as we approach winter.

                                          Agreed, if they were not idiots they would expand the field to at least 8 for this year. But, absolutely a worthless year for a lot of players.

                                                i will say they should not be allow to start anytime of the year, it they cant start with all the others teams, they should not be allow to start now..bottom line it a season that should not count anyway for no teams.

                                                  I know it's two completely different things, I just had to say it lol

                                                      From a betting perspective it fair that I get to watch more games. Seriously more about kids getting to play. So I'm fine with it.

                                                        Big ten is not God and like someone said the season started and they said they were not playing so let it be! No big deal if they played or not they had their window of opportunity! They said no!

                                                          College football is boring as hell right now. The more conferences that join the better the product. Who has watch any college football the first two weeks. It’s been absolute trash. Probably is a fan of a team that won’t have a shot to get in now that other conferences have joined. Notre Dame I bet. Those fans are always complaining

                                                            Damn, some of y’all complain about everything. I bet you’d be upset if you made more money because you’d have to pay more taxes.

                                                              They are all a joke. Rewarding quitters, who likely will end up playing just 6-7 games at most. As soon as one “little ten” player tests positive? Games will be cancelled with no opportunity to make them up
