Anyone still mad FSU didnt make the CFP's tomorrow?

 All that said, a bunch of FSU players opted out and I was surprised to see that happening across a # of CFB games the last couple days.

 Nil/Portal/Opting out, the CFB ecosystem sure has evolved - not always for the better imo. 

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

CFB is the wild west right now and it’s headed for disaster. What’s to stop Saudi Arabia or some other entity/conglomerate/insane booster(s) from buying a roster full of five stars at some random school? Even if they don’t ultimately win a championship, just the existence of that will be a stain on the sport.

I don’t have the answers but some kind of “salary cap” seems necessary before things truly get out of hand. Because a purchased superteam it’s coming, sooner rather than later. Maybe it’s already here.

As for FSU- meh. They got hosed and if I were them I’d be ticked but most people saw that coming once Travis got hurt.
