| TBDBITL Big Horns |
Helloooo, BRFLers!
Just love this gif with The Best Damn Band In The Land big horns rising up, over Will Howard's outstretched arms, as Ohio State eviscerates Oregon in Pasadena this year.
Never gets old.
Enjoy.
Anyway, on to next season.
It's kind of important that you read this here post (looking at you, SockPuppet and especially you, Q).
We need to make an adjustment in the preseason points. And post-season play.
There are no right answers here. Only lame-brained ideas advanced by nincompoops with no clue.
I'll go first.
Regarding the AP Top 10 teams;
Pick number 1 in the AP : start at minus 10
Pick #2, minus 9
Pick #3, minus 8
Pick #4, minus 7
Pick #5, minus 6
Picks #6 - 10, free lunch. No penalty points. Start at zero.
Why, you ask?
This gives Big Losers, from 2024, with early picks, a better chance to make some serious money in 2025, despite their historically awful picking.
Bottom 5 in the AP:
No points. You've picked a ranked team. Good luck to you.
Pick an unranked team:
Start at +3. You're picking an unranked team. Risky. We'll give you a little something for that. But that team better really catch fire or you're shit out of luck. Picking an unranked team has always (until last year) had that, "I don't give a shit", wild-stallions-must-run-free cachet about it. A certain je ne sais quoi. It's time to bring that all back home.
Post-season:
Conference Championship Game: win = +2.
Any old Bowl game ( not a CFP Playoff game) : +3
CFP First Round Bye: +1
CFP Round 1: +4
CFP Qaurter Final: +6
CFP Semi Final: +8
CFP Final: +10
Again why, you query.
It was glorious watching Teebs and PSU bounce Breaux's Broncos out of the tourney. It was great fun watching them thoroughly fuck up Big Dom's Ponies in the Quarter final. And who didn't love McLovin's epic run, featuring his whipping Psycho's Tennessee Vols like a rented mule?
Well, okay. Sure. McLovin and I were the only people who got a kick out of that. But still. Imagine if it had been another team, not Ohio State. People might have enjoyed it.
What's my point? What's my mission here?
I want to keep as many BRFLers wasting precious hours ( that they will NEVER GET BACK ) in front of their TV sets, angsting out over whether some team they have no connection to at all, in real life, wins and advances. Fuck yeah. I want like fourteen BRFLers trying to cut each other's throats on Saturday afternoons for as deep into the season as possible.
Alternatives? Thoughts? Tweaks? At least read this post for God's sakes.
Also, pay me, so that I may pay others. @James-LaCava-2 is my Venmo handle.
