With all the talking heads on TV proclaiming that this season is unlike any other, I’m curious how the community feels. Totally new landscape of CFB or just more of the same? How do we all feel about:

  • Helmet communication (for only 1 player on the field per team except on free kicks)
  • Tablets on the sidelines (up to 18 per team)
  • The 2 minute timeout
  • Corporate logos on fields (no longer requires the stadium to be named after the sponsor)
  • New homes for Arizona, ASU, Cal, CU, Oregon, ou, SMU, Stanford, Texas, UCLA, USC, Utah, Washington
  • Expanded playoff (probably too early to tell on this one)
  • New TV deals (SEC on ABC, B1G on CBS)
  • Current season of Fansville (Ewers could be a Heisman candidate but he sure won’t be winning any Oscars)

For reference, here are the P4 vs P4 records so far:

  • ACC: 6-8
  • B1G: 5-5 (or 5-6 if counting ND)
  • Big XII: 5-6
  • SEC: 8-5 (or 8-6 if counting ND)

    I think the new additions to B1G will help evolve its football playstyle even further. Until the last 2 years B10 football wasn’t the most entertaining to watch. Now the additions of PAC-12 teams will test the old schools on both sides of the ball. As a neutral viewer, it’s a positive. As for the college athletics, that’s another matter all togther.
