Irving, Texas – After a weekend of college football games that featured three-and-a-half blowouts—all won by the higher-ranked home team—it would appear the College Football Playoff Committee is considering various innovative handicapping rules aimed at making the first round games more competitive in the 2025 season.
“We might make the home team’s quarterback tie his non-dominant hand behind his back for a quarter,” said Rich Clark, Executive Director of the CFP via Cisco Webex late on Sunday night. “We could establish a three Mississippi delay on rushes for the higher-seeded team…who knows, all possibilities are on the table right now.”
How will the committee decide it’s reached parity? When the games get a little closer, said Clark.
“It’s going to be a trial and error type deal, for sure. But if the visiting team gets five timeouts instead of three, if the center has to snap the ball with his eyes closed, if anyone who runs a sub-4.40 40-yard dash has to wear flags, we feel pretty confident we’ll see some 31-35 type of outcomes that will keep people engaged throughout the whole contest,” Clark concluded.
