College Football Semi-Finals MegaCast sounds lackluster compared to previous years.
ESPN/ABC is in control of most of the bowl schedule. This control includes television broadcasting 35 games out of the total 40 bowl games on television. [The remaining 5 are split between two networks. CBS and CBSSN have 3 games … Continue reading

Coaches Film Room ESPN CFB Playoff Semifinal
I have expressed my preference for the ESPN Megacast during the College Football Playoff. I give all props to CBS who invented the concept during the NCAA Basketball Final Four coverage. I find it hard to believe that fans, true … Continue reading
Is this a new bowl game dilemma?
Bowl games are a business. Most businesses come with a lot of contracts. But are bowl games going to have to produce some new contracts to face the reality of the economics of hosting football games. The number of NFL … Continue reading

Why I don’t Like Polls 2016 Week 1
It Begins Again! And the Polls continue to let the college football fan down. It is just the first weekend of college football. The polls are already a disaster. I have a personal metric about the polls with respect to … Continue reading

Why I don’t like polls Week 12
I will continue with the weekly wrap-up. Primarily because the playoff committee continues to make bad choices in their ranking system as we enter Week 12. Next week is the last week for completely regular competition. Week 14 will have … Continue reading

Why I don’t like polls Week 11

Why I don’t like polls 26
Michigan State has been an undervalued team for the past few years. I think a playoff system in 2013 might have shown Sparty to be the top team in the nation. They settled for a Rose Bowl Win over Stanford … Continue reading
