The expanded College Football Playoff off to a rough start

[BugsyCT]

Refs gotta protect their cash cow teams.

 

[storrsroars]

Please block this ASU.

Refs gotta protect their cash cow teams.

And they appear to have done that. Terrible call. I feel bad for ASU.

 

[storrsroars]

Please block this ASU.

That'll work too.

 

[UCFBfan]

Holy crap!!

 

[Bomber36]

Unreal!

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Insane

 

[BugsyCT]

Good. That no-targeting call was total BS.

Overtime.

 

[Bomber36]

The football gods know who should win this one!

 

[Scoe]

Refs can’t call roughing the kicker there.

 

[Scoe]

Now ASU can ride Skattebo

 

[superjohn]

The kicker is gagging

 

[maple]

Come on ASU!!

 

[Scoe]

That’s a td review that

 

[Scoe]

Ok nvm clearly dropped

 

[AzHusky]

1ST down

 

[Bomber36]

Still time for the refs to screw ASU. It’s an obvious 1st down.

 

[Scoe]

We all wanna see reviews in OT that’s what we’re all here to see, no need to review that.

I do not have a rebuttal for the argument by you and @storrsroars that college football can have an unwatchably terrible product and its current fan base will stay with it and even grow. You might be right, and we will probably find out soon.

I'm going to regret extending this discussion but you're assertion, that the product is unwatchable is quite a stretch. The fan bass of the schools that pack in 90k plus to every home game and send 30k alumni and non alumni fans halfway across the country for bowl games would be thrilled to regularly see rheir schools win games in a manner similar to what PSU did to Boise St last night.

This is a sport where the bulk of the talent and the bulk of the highest level of success has always been concentrated to an exceptionally small percentage of schools. Somehow the revenues have always increased well above the CPI index. You have every right to consider the product unwatchable. As long as there are enough that consider it watchable the product will be safe.

 

[Bomber36]

wow, what a run! (The one the QB made, BTW)

 

[BugsyCT]

AZ St OL literally dragged his own RB into the endzone lol

 

[UCFBfan]

Didn't know you could pick up your own player and move them forward but whatever! Get a stop ASU

 

[storrsroars]

"Skattebo'd" needs to be a verb like "Pittsnogled".

 

[Bomber36]

4th and 13 let’s go ASU!

 

[storrsroars]

I was fully expecting Sark to go for two.
