So to paraphrase, "We know fans didn't want to double the size of the playoff, but we wanted to give them things they do like -- like extra home games (in the extra playoff round no one wanted) and extra top-25 matchups (in the extra round no one wanted)."
NEW: CFP executive director Rich Clark tells @AndyAriOn3 the committee took fans' sentiment toward a 24-team playoff into account: "We also listened to what they did like about the playoffs, and we tried to add more of those things that the fans wanted into the format that we have. Ultimately we have to make it so spectacular that fans are just going to love it."

Mike Schwartz said on the @pmanonair show that ECU is offering $2 beers and $2 soft drinks for the Saturday 2 p.m. tip off against UNCW. Time to get crazy in Minges. #MingesMatinee

There are many things in life I have no clue about. But I am 100 percent certain the people who stand up immediately upon landing, grab bags, and cause congestion in the aisle for no reason several minutes before disembarking deserve a special spot in hell.

Here is (part) of Central Michigan head coach Matt Drinkall's quote in opposition to the proposed 24-team College Football Playoff:
Just got off the weekly press conference with Central Michigan head coach Matt Drinkall. We asked him about the proposed 24-team Playoff, and now we have about 10 minutes of quotes to transcribe. Hope to be able to share that soon.

If anyone is paying attention East Carolina is developing MLB pitchers as good or better than any program in the country.

Gavin Williams has faced 64 hitters this postseason and struck out 33 of them. It's completely ridiculous.
