Welcome back to another episode of Dumping Them Out.
Once again I’m up against the clock.
My parents are coming into town today.
I thought they were getting here at 3pm.
Turns out it’s more like 1pm.
So I have one hour to get as many takes + Boob GIFs of as possible.
Let’s go with generic college football takes today.
Here’s one not very original college football take I’ve had for years.
School’s fire their football coaches way too often.
For example, I think Texas A&M should have kept Jimbo Fisher.
I know he’s mostly underachieved, but Texas A&M was still ranked every year.
Johnny Manziel was lighting in a bottle.
They aren’t going to have that every year.
Jimbo would pull in strong recruiting classes.
They’re always in the mix halfway through the season (kinda).
Especially now that the playoff is expanding to 12 teams.
Are there are even 12 college football coaches better than him?
I’m not sure there are.
There’s a lot of people who want James Franklin fired at Penn State too.
That would be insane to me.
Penn State is exactly where they should be every year.
And if you keep hanging around there, eventually you’re going to break through.
NOTE: If Texas A&M can get Dabo Swinney, I’ll take back what I said.
That actually might be a possibility based on Dabo’s answer to this question.
If I’m a Clemson fan, I’m worried about that answer.
Remember that Tyler from Spartanburg guy who roasted Dabo for 3 minutes on the radio?
I loved Tyler from Spartanburg at the time, because I’ve long hated Dabo.
But in reality it’s insane for any Clemson fan to say anything bad about him.
He took them from nothing and made them into a powerhouse.
That would be funny.
I hate the take that expanding the playoffs is going to make regular season games less meaningful.
For one, seeding is still fucking huge.
The difference between playing a 1 loss SEC team, or a 1 loss ACC team is enormous.
That’s going to be an enormous game.
As it is now, nobody would care about that matchup.
Next year it will mean everything.
Think about a team like Arizona this year.
They’re ranked 17th and just beat the shit out of Utah.
Casual fans would at least have a reason to care about them.
Do you think they would actually do that?
I’d understand why.
Alabama would make for a way better game than Florida State with a backup QB.
But you just can’t do that.
That would be so shitty.
Also, something similar happened to Ohio State in 2014 and Cardale Jones won the National Championship.
Who cares if Washington goes undefeated.
PAC-12 Question:This isn’t a take.
This is just something I heard and I’m having a hard time confirming if it’s true.
Now I just can’t imagine this next part is true.
Basically, anything Washington State and Oregon State say goes for the remainder of the year.
I think they could just claim all of the PAC-12’s money for themselves as well.
Still an interesting and unprecedented situation.
