    Georgia/Ohio was the most watched CFP semifinal game since Georgia/Oklahoma in 2018 (2017 season), averaging 22.1 million viewers.

    Michigan/TCU was the most watched afternoon semifinal game since the same Rose Bowl, drawing 21.4 million viewers.

    Turns out getting arguably the two biggest TV draws in college football, and having them both play down to the wire instant classics, is good for TV ratings. (And some exec in Bristol is *pissed* that they both lost.)

    I personally am sick of the monotony and monopoly the SEC has had over the FBS "Playoffs," and the ratings speak to it. 

    Congrats to South Dakota State. At least FCS does playoffs infinitely better than FBS does.

  2. The reason it's a debate for some is because Pele didn't play any club football in Europe. What we do have of Pele is pretty special, especially since football was much more physical and violent than it is now with all the diving and flopping.

     

    RIP Pele-

    I was just coming to post that - it has been teased the last couple of years but I guess another sub .500 season made them finally pull the trigger

    Niumatalolo quote seems to support Pete's theory. Bolded part is my empasis.

     

    "I'm a competitor," he said. "It's hard for me to think that we got the ball on the 6-inch line, and that's my last game. That's hard to fathom. If we win, he's not firing me. How do you fire a guy after you win the Army-Navy game? That's not going to happen."

    Edit: it's ALMOST like the NFL is a work. Monday Night, Bucs down 16-3 late in the 4th, win 17-16. Rams down 16-3 late in the 4th, win 17-16.
