SEC sucks. Texas sucks. Imagine having all that oil money and still sucking.
Not exactly like Ohio State is a poor program, it's been mentioned by their own AD, they spent $20 million on the roster. Which may even be more than what Texas spent.

This year set a bad precedent, Ohio State and Notre Dame both had bad losses and made finals without playing in conference championship. Blue bloods with bad losses will jump ahead of non blue bloods and they will try to devalue conference champions.

devaluing the regular season too.
 
They should have a Conference Championship tournament for the National title all 10 conference champions.

If ESPN and ON3 wants to have an invitational tourney with the most talented 12 teams it should be a august-september before conference play starts.

Nope. Notre Dame winning the National Championship after losing to a MAC school early is great for the sport and great for the regular season. Most recent regular seasons 95% of the games were meaningless to watch in November bc the 4 team field picture is usually in place. This season you had teams playing their way in on that final Saturday night.

Not winning your conference gives you a higher seed and an extra game which increases the risk of an injury. The system is fine other than too many neutral site games.
 
An aching thorn resides in my side over the plainly obvious fact that UCF's draftees have been largely absent, for what seems like 5 years now.

I used to sorta like watching NFL scores from games in which UCF had players playing.

Now, there really is no one of interest besides maybe Atkins, whom I recall having a good game last week.

If this continues in college football, which I don't think it will, I believe many will flat out stop watching college football. If there are no salary caps you will only see the richest programs make it to the playoffs. At that point I'll just watch NFL aka pro football.

The richest have always been the main ones who make it. I don't think it will affect ratings. I think the playoff will help ratings. Regardless of everything else.
 
Of course our super young university is not on there. Jesus.
It’s like our 45k football stadium is supposed to complete or beat out the schools with 80-90k+ stadiums. We don’t have a long tradition of athletics (meaning all sports) being good and drawing crowds and generational support. These other schools do and have been around a hundred or more years.

San Diego St is on there. How big is their stadium? They aren’t great in every sport. Making money today has nothing to do with being a school 100 years ago. Those people are dead.

Those people left behind money though. Generational wealth. Most schools listed are state flagships. It's weird seeing SDSU on here but no USC.
 
I’m pretty sure that tweet is revenue earning. For a year. Doesn’t count donations or anything earned 100 years ago.
 
UCF will never have a stadium with a capacity of 80-90K bc of the market UCF is in…55-60K is probably as high as it should go and we can be a top program w that capacity.

You can't really be this dumb. So how long a university has been around doesn't have anything to do with their revenue? I could just start a brand new one today and earn more than UCF in 2025?

You missed the point, as always. Stadium size was just one of the reasons. Generational fan interest, meaning each generation was brought up as a fan who pay money is the biggest factor when you look at that list. UCF has never had that.

SDSU has had a really good basketball team going deep in the tourney recently too, that helps.
