Should a program be allowed to decline playing in the conference championship and the chance of an additional loss to put them out of the playoff? Now, again, simplicity in the bowl that the conferences will send their two best representatives

to a championship game. There's no opting out. And if you choose to opt out of being a part of the conference plan, then you lose the benefit of it. you've allowed Notre Dame to not be a part of the conference committee. They're not a member of the conference club. You've allowed them out of it. And then because of that, they said, well, we're not going to be a part of the ball games at all

because you didn't send us where we want it. You know what'll fix that? Hey, if you opt out this year, we automatically opt you out. You are not open for consideration next year. Or maybe the next two. You don't want to be a part of what we're doing. You do not want to be a part of the board.

You don't want to follow membership rules. You don't want to follow membership what's good for the plan. Because having Notre Dame in a big bowl game is good for college football. But if you choose, if you decide to opt out of the bowl system in 2025, guess what? 2026, go sit in a corner. Go to the kitty table. Gone down the street. Go do your own thing.

Have your own party. You can't be a part of it. of the playoff system if you're not a part of the bowl, bowl process. Hey, what's up, y'all? Kelly Clarkson with Wayfair. My favorite thing about the holidays? Decking out my whole house. It's not a competition, but if it was,

well, I'd win the season with Wayfair. Outdoor inflatable Santa? Got it on Wayfair. Trees, lights, and ornaments. Wayfair. Hosting must-havs like dining sets, beds, sheets, and towels? Wayfair. For everything in your style delivered with fast and free shipping, visit Wayfair.com

or the Wayfair app to win the season. But again, it's not a competition. Way fair, every style, every home. And the bowl process, it's all connected, right? Because that's how Nebraska moves up in the bowls because Big Ten responsibilities allow it. So Notre Dame, fine. You want to stand up and, okay, cool.

But guess what? That's two strikes against you. One, you choose not to be in any conference. You choose to be a rebel. You choose to be an outsider. Okay, fine. Two, if you opt out of the bowl, bowl games, no way you get in next year.

A&M and Ole Miss, the one-lost conversation, that's all the same stuff. That the conference can determine who their two representatives are by who they put in the bowl game, and then the wild card. Four wild cards other than what we did this year would have made more sense. in the next year

it's eight wildcard it's 12 wildcard actually right 12 wild cards and they'll get to a point where they put a max on the number of teams from a conference because if you had 12 wild cards and you say

I want the eight best rest the eight highest ranked teams who aren't conference champions folks are still going to say three of those are SEC It's a fixable system It's just going to require some work

Appreciate y'all hanging out with us for the hour Don't go anywhere the big guy The walls will crop out of character Up next
