Bad take. The current version of the playoffs remains superior to the current version of the FBS. And, since they've gone to 24 teams from 16 the playoffs haven't really been watered down too badly. They Autobids from inferior conferences lose, but in 2016 the expansion helped YSU, which was a team that got hit toward the end of the year. YSU was one of the last teams in and wouldn't have been in if the playoffs weren't expanded and we made it to the national championship game. We also played the most games of any team in college football, as a result of the extra game in the first round as well as the increase in the number of games played that year.
In reality nothing has really changed except that the possibility of a few more deserving teams get in, and YSU is the proof the expansion made the playoffs more competitive. I agree that they need to eliminate the autobid from conferences that don't belong due to their lack of scholarships. You should have the 63 to qualify for playoffs.
By the way, we may have beaten JMU in 2016 had players not been busted for smoking marijuana under Pelini. We also had one player that tested positive for performance enhancing drugs. That's what we got with Pelini. We lost a significant number of players going into the National championship game as a result of this issue. Bo produced a bad culture. Something that Phillips seems to have corrected dramatically. These kids play for each other and exhibit very good traits which is something we should all be proud of.

Hopefully this gives people perspective on how far we've actually come since Pelini left the program in shambles.
People need to think again about hating on Phillips. We have a young team and a bright future (as long as we get a QB and fill some holes). Much more difficult to replace holes when it comesnto the OL.and DL. Hopefully we can go to the portal for some skill positions.

I'm 100% in on stopping the negativity on Phillips. We have a loot coming back and Brungard is going to be better than Davidson as will Harris outshine King. We should be 2 games better next year.

Brungard is NOT YSU's starter. I he is, then we will be worse than I already thought.

Not hating on Phillips, like him as a coach! But the offensive play-calling and secondary play are atrocious!

If not Brungard, and I am not saying he should be, who? Or someone not on the roster yet?
