Polls CFP selection committees Cupcake scheduling Uneven schedules Mega-playoff that erodes the regular season Showing favoritism to media darlings "Vacating victories" when you can just give points deductions in real time, which is a more effective punishment. What am I missing?

Where are you getting the 20 number for the P2? Saban says 32, same as NFL. -- Stech Feb 21, 2026 at 08:06 AM ET

I went with 20 since that is the EPL number. Maroon Baboons scheduling -- PadrosWindup Feb 21, 2026 at 11:30 AM ET

Trust me, I would be more than willing to run it back. -- Maroon Baboon Feb 23, 2026 at 02:45 PM ET

Uneven scheduling isn't a complaint. It's a fact. -- Maroon Baboon Feb 21, 2026 at 12:57 PM ET

Two major omissions in your post. -- Maroon Baboon Feb 20, 2026 at 11:19 PM ET
