    hey there is a sport where the regular season means even less than the NBA

    Ladies and Gentlemen i give you college football, where teams play 13 games to decide who gets to join Alabama in the final 4. Win all your games? Fuck you, we decided they weren't good enough, so a team that lost gets in.

    Florida State got fucked this year. Won out, but those games weren't good enough. And they lost their starting QB (ignoring they won their conference championship game without said QB).

    The whole thing is a disgusting sham.

    @mariner4life it is collosally shit

    the argument is that Florida State aren't as good without their QB. They're right - but the integrity of the competition is just shot. Seriously, what a incredible fuck you to fans - and players! Like, if your best QB goes down late, is that it? Why bother playing - just pull out and wait for the NFL.

    Thankfully this is the last year before a 12 team playoff, that also sucks. Cynically I wonder if this controversy is deliberate so that the 12 team comp is welcomed.

      Anything where you need a committee to decide who's in and who's out will be a shit show. The media will love it because it will drive discussion for a few weeks at least

        they didn't use to even have playoffs! They just got ina room and said 'you win the comp'.

        Amazing.

        The only thing in the decisionmaker's favour is that Alabama are better than Florida State right now. As in, you'd rather play FS than Bama.
        But shit, the cost of that is making a mockery of championship games for conferences and the overall record for the year. And you gag on the SEC 😞

          Statement win by the 49ers.

          Destroyed Philly in Philly.

          Eagles dominated the first quarter but then got smoked.

          Deebo Samuel backed up his trash talk. What a game for him

          Interesting talking point was the ejection of Dre Greenlaw after an altercation with the Eagles head of player security. The Eagles employee was also ejected. I don't care who you support, that outcome was totally wrong. How can the security guy get involved in the game and get a player sent from the field? What a ridiculous situation that the league should punish the Eagles for, or cue other employees from other teams trying to trigger opposition players in the hope of getting them sent off

            Agreed. Ridiculous. Greenlaw should have stayed in the game and the security guy should have been canned.

            I'm enjoying Greenlaw's nickname of Dre-mond Green-law though.

              Fun game tonight with Bengals at Jags. Went to OT, McPherson is clutch and did it again.
              Browning is a weirdly good backup QB.

              Also, Ja'marr Chase had a ridiculous juggle and catch - hard to believe he hauled it in.

              NFL is fun for me this year, am really enjoying it

                    Big shout out to fans of Vikings or Raiders who turned out to watch the shitfest that almost was the first 0-0 scoreline in the professional era, Vikings win with less than 2 mins on the clock 3-0

                    WTF

                        looked more like 6 feet!

                        Seriously, so far forward the ref couldn't see the ball.

                        KC are still seriously good. Three of their losses came due to MVS not being able to catch, a mugging downfield not called and then this tonight. They could still hurt people in the playoffs.

                          I had half an eye on redzone and couldn't process 4th quarter 0-0. WTAF. Jesus.

                              How's the temper tantrum by Mahomes afterwards towards the refs. Short memory when the Chiefs just sealed their most recent Super Bowl win on a ticky tack call.

                                  They appear to have a better run in than us, we will need to beat the Ravens which will be tough

                                        Chargers embarrassed yesterday.

                                        Today their head coach and GM are fired.

                                        It starts with their ownership being cheap. They never should have left San Diego - they are an afterthought in a crowded LA sports market.

                                          Chargers embarrassed yesterday.

                                          Today their head coach and GM are fired.

                                          It starts with their ownership being cheap. They never should have left San Diego - they are an afterthought in a crowded LA sports market.

                                          Easier to fire the coach and GM than fire the owner. Justin Herbert is wasted on that team and should escape as soon as he can
