Interest Decline in College Football?

[DayButtAssMans’s]

I’ve come to terms with my lost interest. It’s actually kinda nice having fall Saturdays back. Almost like gaining a whole new day off for part of the year.

Apparently you do not. Dominant is Alabama 2011-2021 or Clemson in that span as well since they won over 50% of the titles between the two. No one was dominate like they are in the 1990s, you had parity. Even Nebraska wasn't winning the Big12 every year. In the last 10 years, I could pick Alabama to win the SEC, Ohio State to win the B1G, Oklahoma to win Big12, and Clemson to win the ACC and I would be correct 80% of the time. Only the Pac12 had some semblance of parity in this period.

You clearly cannot have a normal conversation without resorting to name calling and arguing you are correct. Did I just shoot from my hip about Oregon and USC, yes. I am going off memory and not reading internet stats all of the time because I have a life and I am engaging in a conversation like men would at a sports bar and not a spoiled, entitled asshole. Even then, once I looked it up, I see my logic. USC made a Rose Bowl and won the Pac12 so it was fair to assume they would be in the top 10 (was wrong there). Oregon first started winning the Pac12 and made Rose Bowls in the 1990s/early 2000s. I remember because I had a Football Game in Highschool with Joey Harrington on the cover.

I pity you get a life. I am done with this conversation. Go make 5-10 posts showing how you are correct and pull a bunch of stats because you have no life and HAVE to be correct. It is clear you cannot have a conversation like a normal human being. High School must have been rough for you.

I reiterate.... You DO NOT know what the term "Dominate" means.

ND isn't the problem with the CFP expansion. Maybe I misread what you are saying, but they aren't the issue.

I picked on ND because they did start raising issues during the last talks. OK. Everyone has a right to raise issues. But my bone to pick with ND is they have a knack for raising stuff at the last second to enhance the chances of getting their way about things and I won't be surprised if it happens the next time playoff changes are being considered. And the Pac 12/Rose Bowl issues.......don't get me started. It's always something. We may get a train run on us in the SEC but I'll be glad to associate with schools that have a Big Boy attitude. "Don't like losing? Get better". I hope we can knock Saban off his perch, get even with Georgia, abuse the F out of LSU, pound Texas A&M when the opportunity arises, etc. but whatever happens I'm just glad to get into a conference where winning is pretty much everything and style points are irrelevant. We'll see how it goes in the W-L and hopefully the NC thing is not a major distraction for everyone.

Just stop.
Oregon made just one Rose Bowl in the 90's and got beat by 18 points.

Oregon didn't play in another Rose Bowl until 2010. Not the "early 2000s"

You can't help yourself from exaggerating and twisting the facts.

gonna need your definition of dominant and very good with those teams u listed

Right?

Volbound just throws shit at the wall to see what sticks.
He doesn't do his homework and hopes nobody else will to prove he's an ignorant idiot.

If the future media payouts that are being thrown around out there turn out to be accurate, one of two things is bound to be true.

1. There is no real interest decline in CFB if the media is willing to pay out that much money.
2. The media is buying a pig in a poke.

Spoiler

Or maybe there is game day attendance decline but not TV/Internet interest decline.

When I first started watching Football (1990s), that wasn't true.

You had Nebraska, Tennessee, Florida, Florida State, Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, Miami, Notre Dame, Alabama, Auburn, Kansas State, and others that were very good. Heck, the Pac12 tended to have a different power each year with USC, UCLA, the Arizona Schools, Washington, and Oregon all taking turns.

Georgia Tech and even Syracuse had decent teams as well. The only programs that were majorly down during that period were LSU, Oklahoma, and Texas but even they had some success.

USC: Zero AP Top 10 finishes. No Natties
UCLA: 2 AP Top 10 finishes (1997 #5 and 1998 #8). No Natties
Arizona: 2 AP Top 10 finishes (1993 #10 and 1998 #4). No Natties
Arizona St: 1 AP Top 10 finishes (1996 #4). No Natties
Washington: 2 AP Top 10 finishes (1990 #5 and 1991 #2)
Oregon: ZERO AP Top 10 finishes. No Natties

7 Total AP Top 10 finishes and Zero AP Natties among the 6 PAC teams he insinuated was a "power".

Heck. Florida St had 10 AP Top 10 finishes all by themselves with 2 Natties.
AP #4, #4, #2, #1, #4, #4, #3, #3, #3, #1
They had 10 AP Top 5 finishes.

FSU was fucking "dominant" and to compare those PAC teams with them is asinine dumbfuckery.
Then he tosses Syracuse in there for the cherry on top.

LMFAO!!!

The first year it can come into play is 2026-27, so I don't know how much of a hurry they are in. Guessing it happens in 2023, not 2022. The Alliance wants to work through NIL and portal first, LOL.

that's what Bowlsby was referring to, they need to meet and vote within the next year.. when the 4 team CFP expires, it expires.

I don't think we are disagreeing. The current CFP contract expires in 2026. That means they have to have a new agreement in place by at least 2 years before that to have time to have everything ready. 2023-2024 is the latest. They aren't in a hurry to do it in 2022.

Do you have a cite to the Bowlsby article ... I'd like to read it. He's going to have some stories to tell. Thanks.

ND didn't raise any issue with the expansion to either 4 teams or the proposed 12 teams. I'd like to know where you're getting this information from. ND conceded to not ever being a top 4 team in the 12 team playoff because they aren't in a conference. So they could be 12-0 and still would be seeded 5 and have to play 3 games to win a title.

Pretty much everything you said about ND is the exact opposite of what happened.

lost interest in football? I assume you use your newfound Saturday time for shoe shopping and sitting at the coffee house cat-talking with your girlfriends?

Cost shifting. As we have to pay for more streaming services to watch the game, less disposable income to travel and pay the ticket/concession prices.

Or something.

I've lost interest in the NFL over the years. I still watch all the Eagles' games, but I used to watch from 1:00 p.m. until the Sunday night game was over. Now I just generally watch the Eagles.

I definitely haven't lost interest in CFB. I watch from Noon all the way through P12 after dark.

I assume you don't play fantasy NFL football? That's the only reason I watch non Dallas and non-divisional games.

It was from an ESPN article. I had it bookmarked but now I can't find it. So I've got nothing to show you. Sorry. I'm not going to diss ND anymore except to say ND is treated like a primma donna and it's grating on a lot of college football fans' nerves. Lord knows a lot of people hate on OU too because we can't seem to win a big game to save our lives. Name a team and there's a bunch of people who don't particularly like them for one reason or the other.
