College football week 14 thread: ATLiens

Liberty's probably better than most think, but we have no forking clue because of that trash schedule. I will say this: they'll be very motivated. Not sure I can say the same for Oregon. That stuff tends to matter in these games. Oregon SHOULD win by three scores, but who knows?

Just heard a football expert say:

"The system's the system and everybody knows the rules."

Except the system is effed and has been lucky for much of the past 10 years of the CFP.

The teams playing the games certainly don't know the rules because they basically change on a whim and nonsense elements are added.
I'm surprised the criteria haven't included who has the best band or biggest cheer squad. heck, maybe they do.

You know what the rules were? If there were less than five undefeated Power 5 schools, they made the final four.

This year there were only 3 undefeated Power 5 schools, and one didn't make the final four.

Like Tulane against USC last year.

How do they scalp tickets now that everything has gone to digital ticketing? Is there a guy with a trenchcoat full of burner phones working the corner?

I see people all the time asking for tickets. I haven't the foggiest how they make it work. Perhaps they get people to sell them tickets then they flip them on the secondary market and jack them up or under pay. I have never asked.

I don't think I've seen anything on this on ESPN. Odd. Can't wait til they knock on Rick Scott's door. These conferences canabalize each other - forcing non-revenue kids to miss more school time to travel across the country for conference games, but NIL is the problem?

FWIW, Oregon is favored by 16 currently amd I think it's jumped from 14.5 earlier today. So a lot of people are jumping on thr Oregon train.

I have bought a college football ticket on my phone standing 5 feet from the entrance to AT&T Stadium, from, I think, SeatGeek. Whatever that's worth.

Was Sept. 2021 so not sure if the rules have changed.

I've never paid more than face value for a bowl ticket - usually less. Granted I've never been to a NY6 game.

BTW - how much would it suck to learn your team was chosen for the Bahamas Bowl only to find out it's not being played in the Bahamas this year due to stadium construction and instead you get to go to.....Charlotte?

Hoping the Pac-2 gets some decent bowl tie-ins.

Which bowl did Colorado end up in?

If Oregon screws around and loses to Liberty they'll be laughed at for years.

The only reason to accept a Bahamas Bowl bid is to get to go to the Bahamas. If I were a player I'd be so pissed.

ACC officials will work the national title game.

B1G officials will work the Sugar Bowl.

Big 12 officials will work the Rose Bowl.

None from the Pac-12?
