Hawaii getting to play their bowl in Hawaii saves them and the MWC so much money. Pretty sure Hawaii spends like 20% of their budget on travel expenses
I think Hawaii is contractually obligated to be in the Hawaii Bowl if they are bowl eligible and not in the NY6. Or in this case if they need an extra team. 6-7 isn’t considered “bowl eligible” under normal circumstances.
seems likely these 3 holdout ADs will blink at the january deadline, 2 of them badly need the new money.
automatic qualifiers would enhance my personal enjoyment of the playoffs but i doubt they happen because money
I'm partial to 6+6 or Best 8, myself I agree with Aresco that the distinction between P5 and G5 is pretty silly.
Is Justin Wilcox a decent coach or did he get fucked at Cal? No idea about recruiting but he improved the 3 years through 2019 then last 2 years 6-10. I wanna say Cal's financials suck and that's a big reason. Cornelius Suttree I know you probably hate him because he was at Tennessee years ago but you got anything?
I have no idea on him. Seems like a good dude who is working in an impossible situation right now. Would be excited about him as a DC but I have no idea what he's capable of as a HC
People complain about the potential rematches here, but in an expanded format I think that's one of the beauties.
Are any of those first round matches that exciting? Healthy Ole Miss vs healthy Ok State is the only one I’d be looking forward to.
I am high, and I would obviously happily watch all of those games. None of them seem super compelling on paper outside of Ole Miss/Oklahoma State, though.
CMU people seem to just be referring to this Barstool game as "the bowl". They've got a progressive woman AD who isn't at all cool with Barstool and what they represent
Might swap out MSU to play ND in a traditional rivalry game and have Utah/Ohio State play what already is a Rose Bowl matchup. I would be interested to see Pitt try to throw 50+ passes at the Georgia defense.
One would apparently need to go to the Barstool Sports website to do so. I'd rather spend the night watching ISIS execution videos from like 2014 I might go to the game and try and get a sign in
Surprised they're able to do that. These corporate types running bowl games are usually prescriptive in what you can call everything
