00:00the executive director rich clark said during the press conference yesterday announcing the 2014
00:06playoff he said quote we're aware of the fan sentiment and that many fans aren't in favor of
00:12expansion but that was clearly but that was clearly weighed into the decision it was considered
00:19but ultimately we just need to make a spectacular playoff
00:26uh that's the biggest bleep you to the fans ever it's like yeah we thought about you we know you
00:34don't want it but we're gonna give it to you anyway because we know more than you do like this
00:40is arrogance by the people that run college football this is about money this is about
00:47making sure that nobody can cry about being left out we're trying to do the participation trophy
00:54everyone gets into the playoff playoff it's garbage it's in the wake of notre dame being left out last
01:01year it's in the wake of miami barely making it and then going all the way to the conference to
01:07the
01:07national championship game last year against indiana it's people are saying hey we want to
01:12make a run like a college basketball run but that's not what football has been and what really sucks is
01:20that they're setting standards for how you qualify they're telling the sec which is a guarantee this
01:25is a big 10 baloney bullshit line they've told the big 10 or the sec you must play 10 power
01:32conference
01:32games to be eligible to get in you can't have nine you must have 10 bcs or b you know
01:42power conference
01:42fps games you can't play any cupcakes these f you know you know these fcs games you can't play them
01:49you have to have 10 so and and that's been kind of the calling card for the sec because the
01:54conference
01:54games are so difficult they always have one or two kind of cupcake games sometimes three can't have
02:00three anymore that's gone so i i don't like that's not the committee's job to do that to tell conferences
02:07to tell teams how they determine their champion how they figure it out i hate the fact that we're
02:12going to have tiebreakers determining who gets the automatic qualifier that sucks okay on so many
02:17levels your strength of schedule because these conferences don't play a balanced schedule if
02:23every conference had 10 teams and we played nine conference games and we had everybody play everybody
02:28in a round robin okay i'm fine with that but that's not what happens there are some big 10 teams
02:33that
02:34will avoid the top teams the top teams every year because their conference schedule just factors out that
02:40way that's disgusting the sec is the same way you're gonna have teams avoiding playing the top teams
02:46just because of the conference rotation that means they're the best team in the conference and as you
02:51get a buy and as you get the power and as you get the second third or fourth seed in
02:55the tournament
02:55it's clown show shit this is it's such an annoyance because when you look at this sports is about playing
03:03on the field and these people who run college football want it determined in a boardroom and
03:10they've wanted this forever this was the fbs this was bowl selection this is all these people who
03:16control college football they think they're the masters of the sport and they almost got pushed out
03:21the 12 team playoff almost made them somewhat irrelevant right because their power actually in a 12 team
03:30playoff was a lot higher but the conferences didn't like that they wanted more inclusion so they said hey
03:37we don't want these people in this room determining who gets in because like notre dame has a big fan
03:41base
03:41and a lot of rich people and a lot of people that spend money and espn is going to give
03:45us a lot of money
03:45so like you people in this room yeah nah we're gonna make it so you can't fuck this up
03:50we're gonna make it so you're not able to make the mistake
03:53because think about it 24 teams you have 19 if you're bitching about being the 25th team
04:01come on like we're not getting into that conversation like that's not happening we're
04:07not gonna cry about number 25 okay we're just not no one's gonna listen so now it's everyone's in
04:16right hey your quarterback got hurt so what you're in uh hey you've got you know you're starting running
04:22back got hurt oh sorry you can still get in right there's no conference championship game i wish
04:29everybody was forced to play in a division but the best teams if one division is more heavily
04:35lopsided talent wise than the other all of a sudden well that's not fair team that wins their division
04:40there could be three teams on one side of the bracket that's better than any team in that side of
04:45the
04:45division so hey get rid of the divisions okay now we have the top two teams they're gonna play in
04:49a
04:49conference championship game yeah but you know given the schedule sometimes you have three teams
04:54who are undefeated only two can play in the conference championship game so how fair is that
04:58okay get rid of the conference championship game what the hell are we doing like this is what pisses me
05:05off so much about college football they just screw it up all the time and their quote i mean
05:10the cfp has a responsibility to our fans sure guy whatever rich clark that's the biggest bunch of
05:19bullshit ever there's a lifeblood of college football and we owe it to them to make this great
05:24then stop doing a 2014 playoff that is our that is really our intent no it's not but we appreciate
05:32our
05:32fans we did take into account their sentiments and that was rolled into this decision but
05:38we decided to move forward with it it's like literally tapping college football fans on the
05:45top of the head and being like aren't you guys cute you guys are cute
05:49you
