College football isn't DOOMED (yet)

- On the latest episode of The Solid Verbal podcast, we dive into the growing perception that too many dramatic changes to the sport, including the transfer portal, an expanding College Football Playoff, and constant realignment, especially within the Big Ten and SEC, is quickly killing off much of what longtime college football fans love about the sport. Be it the lost rivalries, regular season games taking on different meaning, players able to move between teams freely, we talk about the changes and what they may mean both in the short and long term, and then evaluate how optimistic or pessimistic we feel about the health of the sport. What do you think?

![Reacting to an EXPLOSIVE IUBB Twitter Tuesday w/ Thoughts on NIL and Mike Woodson [330]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/a-GTrTKpVfg/mqdefault.jpg)
There is a difference in those that follow college football versus those that just watch college football.
yeah, those that just watch it think it's all totally fine and those who follow it know it's fucked
You guys do a great job.
Hey thanks, we appreciate it!
Fantastic video
I thought you guys were pretty spot on. Additionally, I would like to add two comments. First, TCU. Their problem was lack of depth. First round they play ever well against Michigan but got beat up and there was no recovery against a well stocked Georgia team. The second is with the extended playoff and how difficult each game of the season will now be, many teams that are lacking depth will be beat up whereas the teams with byes. This will become a serious issue
No, it's not a serious issue. It's working as intended. The bye week is supposed to mean something.
The big ten needs quality. Im not a college football fan ive only watched the sec my whole life because conferences like the big ten has always been boring to me.
The SEC has the same reputation for ball control running offenses that the Big 10 has. That has changed a bit in recent years, but you said your whole life so, I'm curious what you think has been different between the two conferences, and their style of play?
@@Tijuanabill It seems more coaches in the SEC have embraced more open offenses in recent years, especially among the top group of teams each year. Couple that with, it seems, finding and developing more dynamic QBs, and it makes for a better TV product. Outside of Ohio State and a handcuffed JJ McCarthy, what are the big Big Ten QB highlights of the last few years? Sean Clifford? Talia? The conference has been a high level QB desert. The SEC has boasted two LSU Heisman QBs, a run of Bama Heisman-level guys, Anthony Richardson, Carson Beck (may be top 5 pick in 2025), Hendon Hooker, KJ Jefferson (before injuries), Kyle Trask, Chad Kelly/Matt Corral. The Big Ten adding the west coast teams is for sure going to be an infusion of QB talent/recruiting/development, and it's much needed.
@Tijuanabill it's not the style of play it's the match-ups. Lsu vs Auburn is more palatable than say, Minnesota vs Purdue. Several good rivalries besides the one big Ohio state vs Michigan. It's just a deep conference with more Sunday players than other conferences.
@@solidverbal But SEC fans told us all how great that style of football was. They told us LSU vs Bama with less touchdowns than the moon surface, is great football to spectate. Both the SEC and the Big 10 are known historically for snooze ball, despite recent changes in outlook. Now they are saying what we were saying all along, so it's hard to really take them seriously.
@@Tijuanabill Watch what the teams and coaches do (or don't do), not what fans or media defenders say. Actions over words. The people who actually had the ability to make SEC teams more dynamic did so. Big Ten coaches and programs have not succeeded in the same way. Nick Saban hired Lane Kiffin because he knew he needed to adapt and upgrade, AND hired the right guy to jumpstart that process.
I think both things can be true that the expanded playoff is unnecessary, and that it's better for the sport. Think of how many fanbases can say things like, "We were xyz away from making the playoff last year." Instead of knowing that 9-3 season will never be enough, now it's borderline success, and something to build off of.
All valid, but doesn't that just arbitrarily water down what a "great" season is? Taking advantage of a lower standard just feels like artificial success, at least in some instances. The context of a team's season matters, but how often do we consider, even knowing opinions vary a ton, a 9-3 team among the country's best?
@@solidverbal We don't consider 9-3 to be among the best. But a fanbase might see that as more success than before, because it's getting them closer to the playoff than before. It keeps fans engaged later in the season. Also, winning a natty will now just mean more, because pretty much every team will have defeated more quality opponents, than ever before, just to win the tournament.
there are a lot of insane alarmist takes i hear out of the united states nowadays, but the idea that college football is dying'dead is definitely not one of them
David vs Goliath games are just as important to FBS college football as top 25 games…. Kick the g5 to the curb and I’m done watching cfb
used to follow college football nationally, but due to greed and douchebaggery I'm going to downgrade to an "only watch my team" guy and follow the NFL more closely instead
This is completely understandable. Appreciate you watching and commenting and hope you'll stick with us through the season to stay up to date to whatever level makes you happy!
