Three Man Rush: NFL Wild Card Weekend and Senior Bowl preview

It’s been a busy week in the world of football

Damar Hamlin

Damar Hamlin was transferred from University of Cincinnati Medical Center to Buffalo General Medical Center on Monday. According to a release from Kaleida Health, the company that oversees Buffalo General, the doctors in Buffalo were responsible for “identifying any possible causes of the event, potentially treating any pathology that may be found, as well as plan for his recovery, discharge and rehabilitation.” The decision was made on Wednesday to discharge the 24-year-old to continue his rehabilitation at home and with the Bills organization.

The worst CFP National Championship ever

No. 1 Georgia beat No. 3 TCU, 65-7, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, CA. The Bulldogs’ 58-point win over the Horned Frogs is by far the largest margin of victory in college football championship history, including the BCS days. To make matters worse, according to ESPN Stats & Info, it’s the largest point differential of any bowl game in the history of college football ever.

Changes need to be made to the college football bowl format and the playoff setup. What is the bowl game solution? Is moving it from six wins to eight wins for eligibility a possibility? For the playoffs and National Championship game, luckily in the 2024-25 season we will see the playoffs expand to 12 teams. The new playoff bracket will guarantee the six highest-ranked conference champions as automatic qualifiers. The next six highest-ranked teams will round out the 12 teams. The four highest-ranked conference champions will also be seeded 1-4, and be rewarded with first-round byes in the new format.
