Same, but now everybody gets to beat Vanderbilt twice as hard cause I mean it’s gonna be hard to lose to vandy unless your Texas in Oklahoma it was two years ago
The game could be hot garbage, and it wouldn't matter. You and I get to play a football game, as our favorite team, for the first time in 11 years. It's already goty for myself idc 😅
Alabama never cheated in any way Saban has always ran a clean program. Michigan cheats Texas cheats Georgia cheats but not Alabama. Your just jelly 😂. Roll tide!
Having a real hard time getting excited - just hasn't been the same since the portal. Might as well just convert to minor league NFL like baseball and be done with it.
@Guknowit I've heard you can and even create whole teams, they'll just censor the names of real players. The real thing is you can't disable the CFP nor edit it.
@@carlwilkerson9722Yep. And half the people will read it and think I mean the other half - and vice versa. We live in a post-reality reality. There is only opinion.
To be fair to UCF people have been claiming unsubstantiated national championships since the beginning of cfb and UCFs claim is a lot better than several schools claims to national championships.
@@CantankerousDave On the internet & social media, sure. But in real, every day life - facts still exist regardless of how whiny people get. They can come up with whatever conspiracy they want, but them wanting an echo chamber doesn't change the facts.
Yeah, I went to an ACC school, and the ACC is the one that really kicked this off. They didn't stay ahead of the game though and are probably going to get destroyed as a result of their own process.
Hilarious, but sad at the same time. I used to love college football precisely because of all the ways it was NOT like the NFL, but more and more it seems the powers that be are determined to turn cfb into the NFL-lite.
I went to a small D II college, in a state where people cared more about college football then the NFL, since college football was more pure and about the love of the game. My Freshman year was 2010-2011. Whenever something changed I brought up that line since it was becoming less and less true nearly daily.
"Man I'm still reeling from Jim Harbaugh leaving us for the NFL. Tell me, did he ever win a Super Bowl for the Niners?" "Well, the thing is... Harbaugh went back to Michigan, *actually* beat Ohio State consistently and won a Championship." "Oh great, it's awesome for the game to have Harbaugh back." "Oh no, he bolted for the NFL again. The Chargers this time. Who, by the way are playing in LA as the Rams' unpopular little brother who also moved back to LA> Yeah, corporate greed is rampant nowadays."
Also NCAA recognizes UCF championship claim 9 of the 10 years the winner of the playoffs was top of all the polls but in 2017 UCF did finish number 1 in a recognized poll
I cant wait to recruit the 5 star qb, then have the local car dealership supply him a Lambo and 300k a yr to keep him from entering the transfer portal on my Playstation 5.
A few things are still consistent… Buckeyes still get a personalized parole officer, USC boosters still make mortgage payments, and Notre Dame still can’t win. 🤦♂️😎🤔
@@archiveacc3248 That's a bit different because there's still the same number of outs in a game. The baseball that got "removed" is just players standing around. Running the clock in football actually reduces the amount of snaps.
O’Bannon v. NCAA led EA Sports to stop making the game after 2013 because the company would not pay a licensing fee to the NCAA to use the players’ likenesses.
@@FeasyFren They ruined it by creating the games people love the most? That still has nothing to do with them directly ruining college football. That’s all on the schools
😅All this started because the NCAA and EA used ED O'bannon's likeness on a game without his permission , he even said that if the NCAA and EA had asked him he would have gladly said yes and even gave them a chance to make it right before filing a lawsuit
The reason I loved College football was that it kept people off of lakes and out of woods on Saturdays, I couldn't care less about sports in general though.
Well the last 7 have been pretty legit. There is a lot of schools that claim nattys. When do we start counting for real ones? BCS? 4 teams playoffs? Or is there really ever a true champion?
Love this commentary on the state of the game. I may be an old man yelling here but this hit all of the thoughts I have had regarding college sports as well b
This made me chuckle and hurt my heart all at the same time. I wonder how much more it will change over the next 11 years. Could it be that in the near future, fall weddings may become a thing in the south?
That 2017 UCF National Championship holds the same legitimacy that every other FBS “national championship” does. 2024-25 will be the first season that FBS has a non-mythical champion.
Micro transactions incoming. It says it on the cover in the rating. "Includes in game transactions" so be prepared to pay for those throwback jerseys. Probably have to pay just to snap the ball.
Your 4 star qb is decommitting! Either pay EA $49 99 to get him back (under the table booster payment) or spend a minimum of $7 at your local subway every day for the next week (padding his NIL deal)
@FranciscoPerez-cr4os yeah. The alarmism here is... something. 😅 They released an 80 page blog on Dynasty that didn't mention microtransactions once because we all knew they'd be exclusive to Ultimate Team. They even said you could revert things in terms of conference alignment if you wanted... genuinely crazy that people are thinking this way after what we've seen so far.
You know how many people go into debt to get a good college education? I always felt full ride scholarships were enough compensation for athletes. Should players be able to make $ off their name, image, and likeness? Sure, but the line should be drawn there.
There's a lot of college students getting paid by their school to TA, RA, run labs, intern, etc. Why should athletes be excluded? Now, I also feel that the revenue college sports should just be treated like the professional minor-league/training level that they are and separated from colleges. Call it an apprentice/trade school program maybe, but it's not like the rest of college.
Back when athletes loved their college and graduates loved their alma mater. Truly, the game was played for pride - and the scholarship. I feel like if they are going to pay athletes, they should at least collect tuition now.
@@irishfan9891ever since the sport started to turn a profit, the players have been the victims behind it all. And you can't trust capitalism to help all ships rise fairly there.
The schools and conferences are making way to much money to not pay the players. This really got going when the NCAA sold the rights to March Madness for $1 billion. That was the end of your wholesome image of what college football and basketball are all about. It's been a business and source of income for the colleges for a long time with most states highest paid public employee being a head coach at a state college/university.
The problem wasn't with athletes being amateur, it was with everybody else making millions off of them while they get in trouble if someone bought them a hamburger. If a majority of the "profits" went back into a general education fund things wouldn't have gotten so bad. Greed and hypocrisy from the schools, the ADs and coaches and the TV people is the problem.
I played college football in the Midwest, then I moved to Seattle in the 2010s and continued my love of college football on the west coast. I loved being able to watch 2 sets of games before noon on the west coast. I've been living in Korea the past 4 years and have only been able to watch maybe 1 game a year. What you said about the conference re-alignment shook me. I feel like the College Football 2011 game. What is going on?!
You are completely accurate! My biggest problem with college football now is the ability to go into the portal after the regular season and before any bowl game. I think the players should have to stay through the end of the current season and then leave. Also, all the corporations getting into the mix is ridiculous! College Football is not the pros even though now they are treating it like it is! Please can we go back to actually caring about the sport and not what the sport can do for you!
if what is true about college players unionizing, there would be contracts involved. no more sitting out bowl games because you dont want to risk injury, no more transferring to a different school for playing time, no more leaving for the draft after junior year...if they unionize and get paid by the school, the school will create contracts holding them to playing and staying in school. be careful what you wish for players...
I mean the players being milked for every dollar of value while not being able to see any of it was kinda the problem beforehand And if the payments are a problem now....well. Gotta change society so that money ain't a life or death situation. That might be Complicated
@@colmecolwag to me...college football (or whatever college sport for that matter) is like an internship. at an internship, you work for free to get experience so you can get a better and paying job. usually it is the better you do, the better the job and pay. that job being the nfl. you do well and youll get drafted high and paid the big bucks.
@@BOMBS-not-FOOD and what about the billions being made off their backs? Someone's gotta get that money. Why not the people doing most of the work for it?
If this comment gets 1k likes in the next three days,then he has to do a southern Disney characters video, Let’s do this, if we get 2k, what’s the difference between the south and south west video, 3k, he has to do a bless your rank on pickles…
All so true and sad at the same time. Conference realignment, NIL and the transfer portal has killed college football for a lot of the fan base and I surely don't think it'll ever be the all-consuming past time for a lot of us that it's been in the past. It's going to be different (and perhaps a bit of a relief at the same time) to be able to go camping, hunting and fishing in the fall without consulting the college football schedule.
So ...how is this EA's fault? I love dumping on EA all day and night, but what happened to College Football is not the responsibility of EA. That's the NCAA, conference commissioners, TV executives and lawyers fault.
The current state of college football is the predictable result of the changes that were made. It's just a worse version of the NFL now, which is also just a worse version of itself compared to 15 years ago.
College football has now entered into a new dimension. It’s so different and with so much greed and individualism that Nick Saban quit. It’s a reality check to hear his story of his conversations with Terry about it. I probably won’t watch as many games as I did in the past.
@@acelm8437 Good to hear! It's just not the State Fair without the Texas and OU fans. And it seems like we hit the State Fair on that Saturday every other year - usually because it's beginning to cool down about then.
Thank you! This video accurately sums up why so many of us are losing our "fan spirit." I'll probably watch more Matt Mitchell and SEC Shorts than actual games this year. Luckily my wife and I both enjoy softball and you can actually afford to go to the games.
Just go to Buc-Ee's. Clean bathrooms, great snacks and a pulled pork or brisket sandwich. Saban tried to tell everyone that all of these changes would mess up college football but nobody listened. I don't blame him for retiring. Roll Tide Roll!
I’d argue that not paying college athletes is just as much if not more corporate greed than the situation we’re in now. The difference is that it’s so much more visible now that the ncaa doesn’t need to hide it anymore. Still a horrifying state
