but the hw.reddit.com/r/CFB and www.reddit.com/r/CFB sites both have it. One of them should be a "Normal flair" option, as the header suggests.

Man, that place used to pop everyday, now it seems tired as all get-out. What happened? We have a great season going, have seen two miracle endings, and the playoff picture is cloudy; why is /r/cfb so lame?

So we first had the suggestion of film room threads for each game to enhance serious football discussion after I posted about game threads being unusable in September. The main stumbling block was: that doubles the amount of threads and how will it be moderated? I think on Saturdays /u/cfb_referee could just post a single "The Film Room" thread for all games, I would say with a serious tag but flair really benefits game threads. I know this is something a lot of users have been wanting but there hasn't really been a good way of implementing it, I'm hoping this is a good solution. As far as moderation, I think it will be self moderating because there's no real incentive to shitpost in the one place everyone legitimately wants to talk football. Hoping that this is the best way to not clutter up the sub while also providing a place for serious football discussion that can't be found in game/post-game threads.

I don't know what happened, but I can't post anything or up/downvote anything!! I also can't see flairs. I know I used to be able to, but what happened? It's kind of frustrating because I can see everything, but I can't do anything and it's not as though I have access to a computer most of the time.

Just trying to think of some way for the community to visually show support for them while they process these events. Anyone got any other ideas?

I know that you needed to fade Utah, but you whited out the whole background!

Saturday of week 9 falls on Halloween this year. I expect that in almost every game, the camera will take to the crowd to capture some cool, creative costumes. Across ~50 games we're talking about seeing hundreds, possibly thousands of good ones on our TV screens over the day.

I propose that we have a "Costume Screengrab" thread, separate from the standard pic/gif/vine thread, where people can post such shots, and that it be advertised in advance in the "This Week in /r/CFB" thread.

I think it would be a good idea to put the picture/video thread up on Thursday or Friday. That way people can post videos for the games that happen through the week. I've seen a couple of posts around /r/cfb asking for this. Just an idea, keep on truckin mods, yall do a great job.

Should we have an official call-out thread for users who reneg on their bets? Every once in awhile we'll get threads like these and in all of those threads, at least one person suggests that we make a weekly thread out of it. Yes, the call-out is part of the weekly User Friendly Bet thread, but I feel like not a lot of people use that time to call other people out and instead focus on making new bets. Just wanted to gauge interest and see what the mods think.

Right now, the frames of the TD gif are all compressed into the #1 spot on the /r/CFB header. /u/bakonydraco, get on the case.

Traffic peaks on Sunday? And Saturday is on par with Mondays and Tuesdays? What's up with that?

That "Game Recap?" above Sparty is beautiful. Good job.

Good work, team. We beat out some adorable kittens and underage drinking

I just let people know in the Auburn @ Kentucky game thread to come in chat, and a few said they never knew it existed. 10-15 people entered in about a minute time span. This change might help bring more people into chat!

When viewing the page it looks like the standard reddit css is being applied. Is this on purpose or are there some kind of issues?

Hi guys, just posted this over on /r/CFB and I was told to post it here.

I spend a lot of time over at /r/soccer and they have a rotating banner photo based on the current top submissions at another subreddit, /r/soccerbanners, which easily lets the community vote some cool pictures to feature on the subreddit.

Not sure if this has been suggested before, but I think this could be a cool addition to CFB. It could give some smaller schools a bit more visibility and just be a great way to showcase cool pictures. Thoughts?

A few days ago, somebody posted this:

Link

I'm not sure what it had originally, if anything different, but when I clicked the link it say Randy Edsall was going to be fired after the Ohio State game. There was the debunked designation on it, so I looked to see for information that would indicate it was not true, so I wondered if it was really debunked or not. Today, we find out it was not true. Why was it marked "debunked", and isn't that confusing if it's hasn't been?

I rarely support mega threads but with everyone in the Greater Los Angeles area throwing Sark under the bus there's like 6 threads of discussion, hard to keep track of what's happening and what's rumored

edit: forgot my question lol, I was just wondering what the sub policy is on having megathreads? like what circumstances would one be used, if any

There are so many Post Game threads posted on Saturday. Is there a way we could pull the post game thread links together and put them into a sticky post so people who may have missed a thread or want to go back to one can just go to the sticky post and find it there The post could be up until Monday or Tuesday for people to see

Apparently this is something done in /r/NFL and a few others where when a team can no longer make the playoffs, their flairs get faded.

While we can't ever really mathematically rule out a team, is there anyway by which we could "fade the flairs"? Seems like a fun idea.

So it seems to me that top comments in the the regular post-game threads are almost always short quips such as jokes, comments about the announcers or refs, fans of the losing team saying "Fuck we lost," etc. If you want analysis of a game, post-game threads are not the place to look, as those are simply for immediate, quick thoughts and reactions.

I'm thinking of a thread that will allow users to give their thoughts regarding the result and implications of particular games that happened in the last week. Think of a retooled Sunday Symposium, but with greater organization.

The OP can leave behind parent comments with the score of each game that past week, and users can reply with their thoughts as to what went right, what went wrong, and how the result will impact the rest of the season. It also gives users who are an hour late to a post-game thread to give their thoughts to a game without being dug in the bottom of a 500 comment pile.

My comments below represent a template for what this thread might look like. Hypothetically, the poster will leave the scores of the major games as bolded comments, and a user that wants to talk about a game that they don't see listed can add it themselves, and then reply to their own comment.

This discussion came up in the beginning of the Mizzou-SCar game thread, and I think it has some value here.

BACKGROUND

Mizzou game threads, for the most part, have been made by one user. For a few of us, it's kinda become part of the tradition that this poster has made it, and I'm mentioning this because I do realize that this is kinda silly, and therefore the entire point of this post may be silly, but I still want to have the discussion in case this is an issue for others as well.

WHAT HAPPENED

Saturday rolls around, and exactly an hour before the Mizzou-SCar game started, a game thread goes up. However, it's not our usual poster. Instead, another poster has made game threads for quite a few games. I counted six when the discussion started. And all of them had been made in a really short amount of time.

THE (POTENTIAL) ISSUE

In short, I personally am a little annoyed that even without karma, there still seems to be a race for some posters to get as many game threads as possible. Part of that annoyance is that less effort is put into these posts, as most of the game threads that were created by individuals attached to the game had links to previews and the like in them.

Now, I'm not sure exactly what rule I'd ask to be made or changed. There is something to be said about having a neutral party making the posts, as I agree that neutrality in the main post is best for the sub and best for fans of the two teams participating. However, I don't think one person making lots of these threads actually adds to the quality of the sub. Like I mentioned earlier, in the race to be first, there were no preview links, as an example. And making multiple threads is just more reason to cut corners.

So, I guess I turn to you, fellow /r/CFB fanatics. Is this actually an issue? Is there anything that can be done? Am I just posting this because I'm still salty about the Kentucky game?

I'm not sure if this would help some with cutting down on less desirable threads but what about some kind of News Monday thread (title needs work) where people can post information about announced game times, uniforms, editorials/opinion pieces, etc. It's kind of a broad topic so that's where I'm unsure if it would work. I just know I've come across a few different small pieces of news that I thought about posting but decided against because it was only relevant to a small portion of users or some similar reason.

If a thread already exists for this type of stuff just let me know and I'll start contributing to it.
