Fresh FizzCast: D.A. Discusses New College Football Playoff with Yahoo!’s Pat Forde

It’s a cause that seemed hopeless just years ago. A college football playoff? Fat chance. The inner circle was getting richer, the BCS was entrenched, and the dissatisfying way of determining a champion would continue for decades.
But we’re at the precipice of change. The presidents and conference commissioners have tossed the old blueprint out, and fostered in a four-team bracket. What’s left to decide? Who will host the three-playoff games? How could it be improved? D.A. had Yahoo!’s Pat Forde on his show on 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston to answer all these questions.
D.A.’s conversation is also available via iTunes, as is every Fizz Radio episode.
DA: I’d love to see a write-up on the major points. Usually, when we’re asked to listen to something, I just click to a different website instead. Hope you take it under consideration.
so by going to a four team playoff,does that mean that all of the independants are not going ever play for the championship? will this format force Notre Dame to join a conference?
Brent Ax offered an opinion on his show last Thursday by telling the 6 major conferences that their champions are automatically in and then invite 2 wild card teams to form an 8 team format the national championship game.
Over time,I think that people will get sick of it and not support a 4 team format. Remember when the BCS format was first introduced, it was suppose to be an end all to all of the problems. Look at where it is today,on the verge of being eliminated.
Involve all of the conferences and don’t get so stupid as to where we destroy the college football game.
on a separate topic i think syracuse has its own quintana funderbunk “FB is not entertaining to me anymore” this is Terrel Hunt’s Facebook status, not like it matters with broyld loeb kinder allen and wilson but still there should be a little concern
Bgogo –
Thanks for the feedback. I always like hearing what the readers like/dont like. We put this on iTunes as well which may be an easier way to listen. I always like hearing the actual context of the interview instead of just a write up, b/c it helps add to the details of it. But we’ll try to get a full scale write up as well as we inch closer to the fall.
Thanks DA. Sometimes I have time to listen, and I agree it’s great when I do. Often, I just have a couple of minutes to surf several sites on a break. I’m guessing others are the same. Keep up the great work.
Connor, Maybe Terrel should Go into Coach Marrone’s office and offer to play at WR or in the Secondary this season, he played both ways in high school that would make it more interesting and if it makes the Def or WR core better/deeper winning certainly makes football more intresting and switching positions for a season would too. Might Earn some Cred from Marrone too for doing what he can to help the team win after the problems he’s had.
All,
The way it’s eventually going to need to be after we complain for 10 more years:
An 8 Team playoff 5 Conf Champs and 3 wild cards. Big east gets an auto only if its champ is in the top 15 or ranked above another major conf champ. Seeded by the BCS computer rankings. First round games are an extra home game for the better ranked team (no team would refuse that revenue) the week after the conf. championships. Final four and championship are as they have it now with the final four re-seeded so you are most likely to get the highest ranked teams in the final game.
They would make a Tanker ship of cash and the conversation about it would last all December long.
I think the ACC has more to prove than the BE especially with there lousy displays in the BCS bowl games….anyone who knows football knows the ACCs recent performances have been shameful and there living on past (10yrs ago)performance’s!!!Since when do we diss our own kids…
