As much as I agree. The regular season and the rivalries are what makes college football stand out but a legit playoff has been a long time coming. If it wasn’t for the bowl games being the big money for so long a 12 team playoff would have happened many years ago, maybe even decades ago
@@bwedd3772 We don't need a 12 team playoff. First of all, college football isn't all about winning the national championship. Otherwise, for more than half the teams, what the hell's the point? In the NFL, it's all about winning the Super Bowl, but in college, it's not. Secondly, winning a natty in college requires a truly special season. With this format, merely above-average SEC teams with 3 or 4 losses will get in, and they don't deserve it. The regular season matchups should decide, not playoff rematches and just above mediocre teams. Those teams can play in the Citrus Bowl or the Peach Bowl or whatever, not the playoff

Dabo is completely right. He is a coach and a person who is making these types of decisions. He didn't say the regular season is less important just there would just be unintended consequences.

In the past year he has said fsu and Clemson would be good possibilities for the sec (last may), to they are perfect fits (last august) to they might not be the best fit (December) to they don’t have a shot at landing in the power 2 (this summer) I guess if he says all that then he has to be right at one point 🤣😂

Texas beating Alabama was more damaging to FSU and UGA because Alabama was SEC Champion and Texas was rewarded for beating Alabama and not punished for losing to Oklahoma and barely winning a couple of more. UGA didn't get it done in Championship game and can't blame anyone but I do.
Dabo is right. You see what happened to Florida state when Travis Jordan got hurt. That injury alone was the reason why the committee was chose to keep them out of the playoffs despite going undefeated and winning the conference championship game. Nick saban already said these things would happen years ago. Players are already opting out of bowl games if they aren’t in the playoffs. You will see coaches sit out star players the last game of the season (rivalry weekend), meaningless games, and cupcake games. If a team has already lost 3-4 games in the middle of the season you will see star players sit out the rest of the season, enter the transfer portal, or opt out the rest of the season to train for the NFL.
Everything Paul said after that didn’t even come close to supporting an argument against Dabo. Just a mouthful of more him hating on Dabo. Heather carried that segment anyway with her response
Bro it’s so dumb what do you mean lol more teams getting into the playoffs means more teams will have an opportunity at the end of the year and less likely players will sit out. It’s the opposite of what Dabo said
Dabo ain't lying. He's a traditionalist and college football is about the pageantry and tradition of the beautiful sport that it is. Even though lately it seems that college football is turning into the NFL 2.0 with the whole 12 team playoff, you may have some teams make some business decisions and resting their star players if they already have the season sewed up and they're going to be in the playoffs with a high ranking and if they win their conference. Something to think about. 🤔
10:12 as a die hard bama fan, when I see Deboars face. He doesn’t make me nervous. He looks contently confident and that should scare every team in the SEC
Video begins at 3:14 ends at 6:41 You're welcome. Hey Paul, next time lead the video off with the thumbnail subject. Dense. Edit : So apparently this is an ESPN issue. That makes it worse. Legit the the reason people are turning away from traditional media. Good job ESPN. Hire someone who knows something.
“The regular season is more important than ever.” Literally could’ve be any further from the truth. Obviously the regular season matters, but now teams can afford to lose two games and make the playoffs. No 2 loss team ever made the 4 team playoff. How do these people have jobs?
Thank you! I thought I was the only one that thought her take was idiotic. Never has the regular season meant less during the BCS/playoff era than it does now. When have we been looking at teams, late in the regular season, sitting outside the top 10 as playoff teams? Now we’ll be discussing endlessly that teams 13-15 got overlooked or can SEC or Big10 team x recover from losses in 3 games and squeeze into the playoffs over ACC/Big12 team y with 2 losses. It’s ridiculous. The answer is none of them. The very best teams from the regular season should play for the Championship. We are so into participation trophies that we don’t want to recognize greatness!
Dabo: Makes a genuine critique of the flawed 12-team format Paul "Bought and Owned" Finebum: "DABO BAD DABO LOSER!!!" (Proceeds to offer zero counter-argument)
Why is Paul always going after coaches who are not in his conference? The Florida Gators coach is awful, Arkansas is awful, A&M just went through an awful period😅
I know she did not just say the regular season means more than ever…. My Kansas Jayhawks went 11-1 in 2007 with the only loss of the season being against the number four ranked team on a neutral site by one score in a RIVALRY game and we didn’t get to play for a championship. With today’s new playoffs, we would’ve walked into the postseason.
Wouldn't be bad if they could be consistent. In 2022 they valued record over quality of opponents and put TCU in over Bama then in 2023 they valued quality of opponents over record as they should imo and put Bama in over FSU.

Glad to see dabo still watching lamar jackson dominate, of course dabo is right nobody is putting their stars out there if they've locked up there spot
No that Harbaugh is gone, he can start criticizing other people. Between 2018-2023 all he did was focus on Harbaugh. Now that he’s gone he’s finally talking abt other people that he should’ve been doing even when Harbaugh was at Michigan during those 5 years

People are ALREADY sitting out of games later in the season if they don’t have value, already sitting out of championship games… this is gonna make it worse tho!
Paul trying to have shock commentary.!! But Dani is 100% correct. The players with a chance of playing in the NFL won’t play out a season whose team is4/4 and have no chance at the playoffs. It’s the state of the NCAA 🏈Dabo that’s a typo
Paul is a Dabo hater probably because Dabo is faith based and is about tradition. Paul is a bobble head for ESPN who doesn’t align with anything Dabo stands for
Beating an undefeated Alabama Crimson Tide team coached by Nick Saban twice the national championship was the worst thing to ever happen to Coach Dabo Swinney 🐘🏈
According to Paul, an 11-0 Alabama risk injury in the Iron Bowl instead of resting players for the SEC championship. Ditto for UGA, Texas, FSU in that same situation
4:21 how is he wrong? I’m not a Clemson fan by the way, but how is he wrong? We’ve all been told bowl games are meaningless now ESPN and the people wanted to expand the playoff and make more money. Of course they’re gonna say no that’s not gonna happen. Come on man please our brains here and not some type of agenda.
Heather does a great job reading the information they provide her contacting as if she really knows what she’s talking about. Take those notes in that homework that the crew does for would be speechless.
Once November rolls around and teams are very close in records with playoff positioning on the line. Nobody who is still in the running is going to be “taking a game off”. It could be the difference between hosting a 1st round CFP game at home vs traveling to Ohio State in the middle of December to play that game.
That’s not what he meant lmaooo he literally said the teams that have already clinched a playoff spot or even a first round bye that means the last game or whatever is pointless so rest the starters for the playoffs instead of playing them in a pointless game lol
Finebomb must have friends in all the right places to still have his gig ...it is easy to see that nobody really likes him...nobody can predict how anything will play out in College football....we know the powerhouses yes...but we may not see any undefeated teams this year...as well when the difference between winning and loosing in many games is such a fine line...the best team doesn't always win....that is why we love College football...
What makes Finebaum such an authority and legend in his own mind on college football ? I think he's a Tennessee alumni, whose been so far up Nick Sabans' backside he hasn't been able to see day light for Sabans' tenure at Alabama. Finebaum apparently just hates Clemson and Dabo Sweeney ( Alabama Alum and football player ) for beating Alabama in the National Championship games. Finebaum crashes on Sweeney every chance he gets.
I’ll never forget Paul saying Harbaugh was overrated and should be fired and the Michigan program was terrible only to disappear when they started contending for a title . Now he’s ripping Dabo a career winner .
Coach Deboer was not even done talking at the end and you cut him off. Next time, how about letting him finish his sentence, before you end the video?.
As a Texas fan I can agree Texas has been the most over hyped team for the better part of this last decade, But this year is truly truly different, coaches last year were saying last year Texas had a top 3 roster in CFB and that still holds true for this year.. I know we’re coming into a harder conference but it’s crazy that the best Texas has been is coming just at the right time
Yeah I unfortunately have to agree. I'm a big LSU fan and am from Baton Rouge and finally took a good gander at the 2024 Texas Longhorns this past Monday and went in with the mindset of expecting Texas being a good to great team with a max ceiling of 10-2 for 2024 season and figured 9-3 finish more likely, but after looking over the roster along with their schedule which sets up favorably for Tex success imo with UT getting Georgia at home, and Michigan week 2 which I expect Tex to be favored in but not a must win non-conference game, and after that saw no other game that UT shouldn't be favored in and win if they stick to business other than Oklahoma a toss up and always a good one and A&M will be a fun one... That y'all have no business losing in a normal head-2-head unless plagued by injuries etc.... so I actually have Texas now as my SEC team with the second best odds to make it to Atlanta for sec championship game where they'll face the team with best odds to make it in Georgia for a rematch where the loser will be knocked out of playoff race only under the condition that they also lost the regular season game aka if Texas lost to Georgia at home and then in sec championship they're out even if its only 2 losses allowing a 2 loss sec team to go in that scenario instead
@@crammons7330 thank you bro most of the Texas haters don’t really look at our team, they just look at the past and the media and believe everything they see nor hear, even Nick saban the GOAT of the SEC and college football ripped on Texas saying they “ain’t gonna run the SEC” but he still picked Texas and Georgia to play in Title game because he knows Texas roster is 2nd to none right now, I don’t mind the haters but give credit to where credit is due
@kelshotss As a Mountaineer fan, I can say you all had a great season last year and have a solid SEC ready team. I think the thing that makes people doubt you all is the fact that especially over the last decade, anytime you all are supposed to be good everyone prematurely says "Texas has their swagger back!" and you all have fallen short. I think you all need a few good years before people put stock in Texas being "back". Let's Go Mountaineers!
Paul just wake up loud and angry 😂😂😂😂
😂
And wrong
Always angry
If I looked like that I would be angry too
Paul jus been hating on everyone he talks about😭🤣🤣

4:21 how is he wrong? I’m not a Clemson fan by the way, but how is he wrong? We’ve all been told bowl games are meaningless now ESPN and the people wanted to expand the playoff and make more money. Of course they’re gonna say no that’s not gonna happen. Come on man please our brains here and not some type of agenda.
Heather does a great job reading the information they provide her contacting as if she really knows what she’s talking about. Take those notes in that homework that the crew does for would be speechless.
Playoffs? Playoffs? In my best Jim Morra voice 😂
3:42 I’m confused guys was already skipping bowl games before, how is this gonna make any different 🤔
Skipping regular season games because the games no longer matter.
If they wanted to expand the playoffs it shoulda been 6-8 teams MAX
You guys made this big news, not dabo. When do you do the video thanking dabo for saying things that the desperate media world ca wave in the air
Still waiting on Iowa St to make the playoffs like Heather predicted
Is this mofo ever not angry? This guy has to be the worst CFP spokesman
Once November rolls around and teams are very close in records with playoff positioning on the line. Nobody who is still in the running is going to be “taking a game off”. It could be the difference between hosting a 1st round CFP game at home vs traveling to Ohio State in the middle of December to play that game.
That’s not what he meant lmaooo he literally said the teams that have already clinched a playoff spot or even a first round bye that means the last game or whatever is pointless so rest the starters for the playoffs instead of playing them in a pointless game lol
He’s not wrong
Finebomb must have friends in all the right places to still have his gig ...it is easy to see that nobody really likes him...nobody can predict how anything will play out in College football....we know the powerhouses yes...but we may not see any undefeated teams this year...as well when the difference between winning and loosing in many games is such a fine line...the best team doesn't always win....that is why we love College football...
Nick tryna teach Paul bump and run is hilarious😂
What makes Finebaum such an authority and legend in his own mind on college football ? I think he's a Tennessee alumni, whose been so far up Nick Sabans' backside he hasn't been able to see day light for Sabans' tenure at Alabama. Finebaum apparently just hates Clemson and Dabo Sweeney ( Alabama Alum and football player ) for beating Alabama in the National Championship games. Finebaum crashes on Sweeney every chance he gets.
I agree with Dabo.
Dabo’s example makes no sense. Even if it was still the 4 team playoff, any team that starts 4-4 will have the danger of players sitting out.
4:21 check dude behind finebaum. He just rolling. 😂
Finebaum tries so excruciatingly hard to be the “I’m gonna say what I want and speak my mind no matter what” guy
Paul Finebaum is trying to replace Skip Bayless.
It still blows my mind how the buckeyes let ewers walk up out of there. He should have started as freshman
There is no analysis here that you can't get from your neighbor
NCAA messed up per the usual. 8 teams would have been perfect. The 4 conference champs then the next 4 best teams. Perfect. 12 is idiotic
I’ll never forget Paul saying Harbaugh was overrated and should be fired and the Michigan program was terrible only to disappear when they started contending for a title . Now he’s ripping Dabo a career winner .
As a Noles fan Fakebum is a joke
Arch Manning against Georgia would be incredibly interesting.
A few players might remember his recruitment and make him regret his decision.
Idk Dabo has a point.
Coach Deboer was not even done talking at the end and you cut him off. Next time, how about letting him finish his sentence, before you end the video?.
If it's not about bama or SEC he has nothing good to say
Dabo speaks the truth the same way Jesus speaks the truth
As a Texas fan I can agree Texas has been the most over hyped team for the better part of this last decade, But this year is truly truly different, coaches last year were saying last year Texas had a top 3 roster in CFB and that still holds true for this year.. I know we’re coming into a harder conference but it’s crazy that the best Texas has been is coming just at the right time
Yeah I unfortunately have to agree. I'm a big LSU fan and am from Baton Rouge and finally took a good gander at the 2024 Texas Longhorns this past Monday and went in with the mindset of expecting Texas being a good to great team with a max ceiling of 10-2 for 2024 season and figured 9-3 finish more likely, but after looking over the roster along with their schedule which sets up favorably for Tex success imo with UT getting Georgia at home, and Michigan week 2 which I expect Tex to be favored in but not a must win non-conference game, and after that saw no other game that UT shouldn't be favored in and win if they stick to business other than Oklahoma a toss up and always a good one and A&M will be a fun one... That y'all have no business losing in a normal head-2-head unless plagued by injuries etc.... so I actually have Texas now as my SEC team with the second best odds to make it to Atlanta for sec championship game where they'll face the team with best odds to make it in Georgia for a rematch where the loser will be knocked out of playoff race only under the condition that they also lost the regular season game aka if Texas lost to Georgia at home and then in sec championship they're out even if its only 2 losses allowing a 2 loss sec team to go in that scenario instead
@@crammons7330 thank you bro most of the Texas haters don’t really look at our team, they just look at the past and the media and believe everything they see nor hear, even Nick saban the GOAT of the SEC and college football ripped on Texas saying they “ain’t gonna run the SEC” but he still picked Texas and Georgia to play in Title game because he knows Texas roster is 2nd to none right now, I don’t mind the haters but give credit to where credit is due
@kelshotss As a Mountaineer fan, I can say you all had a great season last year and have a solid SEC ready team. I think the thing that makes people doubt you all is the fact that especially over the last decade, anytime you all are supposed to be good everyone prematurely says "Texas has their swagger back!" and you all have fallen short. I think you all need a few good years before people put stock in Texas being "back".
Let's Go Mountaineers!
Kirby said what Dabo said but somehow Dabo is the problem? Paul isa joke and so is this new system. AP poll already sucked. It’s about to get worse.
