It's a Power 2 World, and OBD is Living in It!

I believe this article from USA Today deserves a post of its own.

 

Author Matt Hayes tells it like it is. 

 

Our Beloved Ducks are nesting in a perfect place.

Big Ten and SEC are telling us what they're going to do with the College Football Playoff in move to straight seeding. It's time we start listening.

Great article Jon, and thank goodness we are part of the Super-Two!

So when the arrogance of the so-called power-2 reaches this level, it is hard for this observer not to root for anyone else who has a chance to make a deep run in the playoffs to beat the anointed ones. I'd still pull for the Dawgs and the Ducks but would react with glee to losses by any of the other 32 teams in question against the "outsiders". 

I simply like college football to much to stomach the "like it or lump it" attitude of the so-called Power-2. Disgusting IMHO.

Nevada, if YOUR team had been hosed in the CFB Playoffs…you feel would different.

 

But wait! That’s not all… As Oregon was ranked 12th in the nation, the last two years in a row at the end of the season in baseball, and yet we were hardly ever on television this year, not even on the Big Ten network. And it does not stop there, as we were hosed in the playoff format for the Big Ten baseball tournament.

 

Oregon softball was hosed in the original seating, as they were ranked as high as number three in the nation, and ended up with a freaking number 16 seed? They have overcome it, but I am sick of it.

 

if reasonable people cannot do the right thing, then we must take it from them, and I will not feel sorry considering what has happened to Our Beloved Ducks.

P.S.  I have asked before, and request again that you use punctuation and paragraph spacing for easier reading for our members. I had to edit your post again, and simply ask that you proofread when done.

 

My thanks.

Sadly the Pac 12, Big. 12, and ACC all did multiple things to lead them to their current status. The ACC signed a terrible 12 year television deal that isolated their top programs. The Big 12 gave Texas carte blanche over everybody else, and the Pac 12 arrogantly thought the B1G and Pac 12 were brothers from different mothers.
