if that's true, then they should contact Sen Scott

if not, yep, they are just deflecting blame

Unlike some I still like Herbie, Heather & Paul, but now the Criteria used:
Stech • 12/06/23 09:11 AM ET
Wow! Tim Brando is still blowing a gasket about what went on.
HOO86 • 12/07/23 04:42 PM ET
I have a feeling we will find out what was behind the Boo Corrigan vote,
Stech • 12/07/23 05:27 PM ET
Perhaps didn't take too long.
HOO86 • 12/08/23 09:36 AM ET
FSU would have been left out no matter what
mrcaniac • 12/06/23 02:50 PM ET
And the FSU faithful expect to be paid like them
HOO86 • 12/06/23 09:00 PM ET
The ratings don't lie
mrcaniac • 12/06/23 11:52 PM ET
Ratings for CFP games, however,
Pylons • 12/07/23 11:11 AM ET
Doesn’t tell the whole story either, the B1G & ACC were at the same time,
Stech • 12/07/23 12:13 AM ET
Texas game was at 11am Central time
mrcaniac • 12/07/23 12:39 AM ET
Agreed on Texas, but with 2 games on FSU did almost as well.
Stech • 12/07/23 12:40 PM ET
It’s not hard to see why they did it, hopefully they get enough criticism
Stech • 12/06/23 09:20 PM ET
It's starting to come into focus what happened.
HOO86 • 12/06/23 09:35 PM ET
Sounds like espn picking the teams
Mercury • 12/07/23 07:24 AM ET
1999 VT without Mike Vick
MrFantastic! • 12/08/23 08:39 AM ET
The TCU and Cincy games the last couple years
Pylons • 12/06/23 05:32 PM ET
TCU's games didn't do too bad
mrcaniac • 12/07/23 12:25 AM ET
The Cincy game did fine**
Pylons • 12/07/23 10:58 AM ET
It did okay
mrcaniac • 12/07/23 01:12 PM ET
FSU would have brought the ratings, hands down. **
Big12 guy • 12/07/23 01:31 PM ET
You could say the same of Georgia/Michigan the same year though
Pylons • 12/07/23 01:24 PM ET
I thought the proposed the top 5 conference champions, but took no vote.
Big12 guy • 12/07/23 09:12 AM ET
Yep, people like to watch Cinderella, but the networks are still leery.
Stech • 12/06/23 09:34 PM ET
Don't disagree w/ what you are saying, but Michigan/Harbaugh is a victim
Stech • 12/06/23 03:42 PM ET
They aren't victims, they are a story
mrcaniac • 12/07/23 12:06 AM ET
You are describing why the system is corrupt, it’s shameful they are using
Stech • 12/07/23 12:23 AM ET
NASCAR went the entertainment route
mrcaniac • 12/07/23 12:46 AM ET
That’s right, the sponsor money is like recruiting to College Football.
Stech • 12/07/23 12:39 PM ET
Nascar was already in trouble by the time they started doing what you are
VTBAMA • 12/07/23 09:51 AM ET
Actually I think F1 is going the opposite direction...more towards...
EDGEMAN • 12/07/23 06:50 AM ET
I believe Honda announced it was leaving F1 and that Red Bull will either
VTHokie2000 • 12/07/23 05:00 PM ET
That was the plan when Honda announced they were pulling out of F1...
EDGEMAN • 12/07/23 08:04 PM ET
Michael Andretti is hoping to get in with a new team
mrcaniac • 12/07/23 06:38 PM ET
I thought F1 approved his application, but may not.**
VTHokie2000 • 12/07/23 08:00 PM ET
FIA approved their application
mrcaniac • 12/07/23 10:29 PM ET
I never did hear the final decision.
EDGEMAN • 12/07/23 08:09 PM ET
F1 may have tabled it for some reason. It would be a shame if F1 didn't
VTHokie2000 • 12/07/23 08:22 PM ET
True on the competition side
mrcaniac • 12/07/23 01:48 PM ET
And a whole lot of seat buying
mrcaniac • 12/07/23 02:26 PM ET
They also are introducing new street circuits, which I find repulsive...lol**
EDGEMAN • 12/07/23 02:24 PM ET
So will the Military Bowl be a cage match, TLC match, I Quit match, or a
VTHokie2000 • 12/06/23 07:58 PM ET
You tell me, but I think matchup is intriguing, because it won’t surprise
Stech • 12/06/23 08:34 PM ET
Tulane would be a good addition for academic reasons. The same is true for
VTHokie2000 • 12/06/23 08:51 PM ET
The last thing you said, ND is looking to stay independent and they like
Stech • 12/06/23 09:12 PM ET
Assuming the public schools decide to leave the ACC, it looks like the new
VTHokie2000 • 12/06/23 09:19 PM ET
ACC SEC basketball challenge would probably go on and be very interesting
Stech • 12/06/23 09:29 PM ET
Unless the P2 decided to form their own division. At that point I could
VTHokie2000 • 12/06/23 09:43 PM ET
True could be ACC & Big East, SEC & B1G, but ESPN likes having their
Stech • 12/06/23 10:49 PM ET
I'm not sure how exciting the challenge would be if each game is paid
VTHokie2000 • 12/07/23 12:29 AM ET
Have read stories re committee being physically ill because of FSU snub.
Hokester • 12/06/23 05:31 PM ET
if that's true, then they should contact Sen Scott ◄
Vienna_Hokie • 12/06/23 05:51 PM ET
They can prove that by creating a more objective system w/ points known
Stech • 12/06/23 05:40 PM ET
Just wait until next year when we have 2 loss teams from SEC & B1G
VT Pops • 12/06/23 12:17 PM ET
and the SEC will want MORe
Mercury • 12/07/23 07:50 AM ET
ND can't get a top 4 seed, top 4 conference champs get the top seeds
Vienna_Hokie • 12/06/23 07:33 PM ET
Terrible business practice for th long run, just ask NASCAR, who emphasized
Stech • 12/06/23 12:45 PM ET
They are banking on having enough quality programs to always have those
Marooned • 12/06/23 08:58 PM ET
They are, which is why I don’t think P2 expansion is done yet.**
Stech • 12/06/23 09:14 PM ET
I despise all three.
Maroon Baboon • 12/06/23 11:19 AM ET
Understand why you feel that way, I'm more concerned about fixing system
Stech • 12/06/23 11:34 AM ET
The current power players and decision makers in college football aren't
Maroon Baboon • 12/06/23 02:01 PM ET
correct, but the fix is going to be worse than the problem
Vienna_Hokie • 12/06/23 06:01 PM ET
Yeah, I want to take the people out of it and do this (LINK)**
Stech • 12/06/23 02:35 PM ET
Lets dont get into hate, they are doing what their employer wants
Mercury • 12/06/23 11:31 AM ET
I once asked Chris Fowler if he had ever faced pressure from his bosses.
Hokester • 12/06/23 02:49 PM ET
How long ago was that?.......
2hhoop3 • 12/06/23 09:14 PM ET
Many years ago. 2009 in fact.
Hokester • 12/06/23 11:41 PM ET
Really interesting and surprising if true, TV scripts almost everything. If
Stech • 12/06/23 08:56 PM ET
LOL you were spitting hate earlier today, unfortunately it was deleted so
NokieHokie • 12/06/23 11:53 AM ET
Good perspective from one podcast
Mercury • 12/06/23 09:24 AM ET
Thanks, be careful w/ the condemnation of Boo & Jim, not being in the room
Stech • 12/06/23 09:30 AM ET
I would concur......
2hhoop3 • 12/06/23 10:34 PM ET
ok thanks for the advise, concur.
Mercury • 12/06/23 11:32 AM ET
Shouldn't have to be a fly in the room, should know how you score points
Stech • 12/06/23 11:40 AM ET
Regarding most popular, can they game the tv ratings?
HokieAl • 12/06/23 09:44 PM ET
I think hardly anyone is boycotting the Playoffs. We will see.**
