2025 college football 🏈

[undercover]

the Div 2 championship will hopefully be a better game than A&M vs Miami. Both my kids went there, a few miles from the home. Great school for Optometry and Pharmacy. The head coach has been mentioned in lower level groups to at least interview for the Michigan job. Tone Anese. He wins. Google him. And the QB for Ole Miss Trinidad Chambliss won the D2 natty at Ferris State last season.

ND fans still be like…

This Tulane green wave @ Ole Miss rebel shark bears game is brutal in the exact opposite way of the UM @ ATM game. Huge disparity in speed, size, and talent. This is not the type of team that was intended to be let in when they setup the rules to allow the lower tier schools in the auto berths.

 

[Southern Elk]

Tulane did not deserve to be in the playoffs. I expect to see the same from James Madison.

 

[EastTNHunter]

I gotta give Tulane credit - they have not given up, and that QB may have a future if he can get coached up and get his timing down.

Yeah, I can’t imagine JM is going to make this competitive. I can see them hanging for a bit, but this one could be lopsided.

 

[MarvB]

JMU gritty but Ducks O looking tight!!

 

[MarvB]

There’s a reason that the playoff structure needs to be revisited…see JMU and Tulane while Notre Dame watches

 

[Treeshark]

while Notre Dame watches

I get your point and mostly agree, but Notre Dame also kind of did this to themselves- a conference championship game sure would have helped them this year.

Or a different selection process. Top 12 ranked teams. Period.

Or expand to 16 and let in the 2nd tier conference champs to get pummeled.

 

[MarvB]

Yeah I don’t agree how the Irish gave a hearty F-U to the entire bowl process but (as a Ducks fan) this is like having a AAA baseball team in the MLB playoffs.
It’s just another level

 

[Treeshark]

this is like having a AAA baseball team in the MLB playoffs.

This is what my fear would be of expanding to 16.

The goal of the playoff is to find out who is the true National Champion. I get teams feeling screwed out of the 8th spot or whatever, but if you’re on that bubble you’re likely not the best team in the country.

 

[Little Big Man MT Chris]

My Ducks D sucked in the second half, they checked out mentally at half up 34-6 , but I don’t expect them to loose focus like that in 12 days in the Orange Bowl

Well didn't the Ducks only play the 2nd and 3rd string players the second half. It looked like it.

My new Prediction for the Championship Game.

Miami and Texas Tech and TT Winning

Maybe not the best, but tell that to Illinois State now.

FCS has a true playoff system with 24 teams playing, and look we're five days from Christmas and they already have their national championship game teams set whereas FBS just got their 12 team playoff started this weekend.

24 teams is a 5 week schedule versus the current 4 week schedule for 12 teams.

It’d be a lot easier to say no to number 25 than number 13.

There’s pros and cons to both playoff brackets.

What are the cons to the current FCS playoff system?

Even with 5 weeks FCS champion will be declared two weeks before FBS.

Ya they had a lot of backups in
