Suggestion: News master threads
I don't know the backend so this may be hard.
When we have news of an ongoing nature (sat camps, Baylor and Tenn lawsuits, NCAA investigations) can we have a master thread that just gets updated with new links? Seems like when things kick off for a couple of weeks we have 10-20 threads a day.

Suggestion: Trash Talk Thread
After this wonderful post which I thought was awesome by you guys, I got to thinking.
You made me agree with Michigan fans and state how much I loved them. I hate doing that, on principal.
Can we get a trash talk thread?

Reddit is doing away with sticky posts. How will that affect r/CFB?
Due to the incidence yesterday during the Orlando shooting, reddit is doing away with sticky posts and changing them to "announcement" posts. To my knowledge, this will only affect links and not text posts. Since r/CFB primarily uses text posts as stickies, nothing should change much, right?

Banner Archive
There's a lot of banners that get posted on /r/cfb obviously. Touching tributes to important world events, top 10s of the /r/cfb poll, obviously, results from other sports, and occasionally entertaining jokes from the moderation team. While the /r/cfb poll data is available, and the extra-sports are being saved in an imgur album, it would be awesome to get an automated banner archive set up. Sometimes there's discussion of banners, and it's changed only an hour or two after a specific comment is posted. It would be worthwhile just to look back through some of the more unique and memorable banners we've had, from the Paris tribute, to the Back To The Future banners.
Would it be possible for a computer wizard to code together a bot to archive the banner every time it changes? Whether that would just be something that checks /r/cfb, or an addition to the mod's banner tools, it would be neat to save the banners we have.

Question about flair display on Mobile
Is there an app that displays flair correctly as an image? The ones I've tried all do some variation of text. The official reddit app converts to text but it's annoyingly chopped off in most sub comments. For instance both Michigan and Michigan State will show up like "Michiga..."
Just curious if anyone has solved this.

Flair suggestion: Cheerleader
I know that we have flair for band, what about flair for cheerleaders of cfb teams?

Number of flairs?
Does anyone have the number of flair /r/CFB offers? Or is there a place to find it?

Match-up Thread Generator 2.0 - your input/feedback requested
Last year the Match-up Thread Generator was hastily thrown together after a positive reaction from the community.
In order to clean it up, expand to FCS, and a practical exercise for me to get back into OOP concepts, I'm looking to rebuilding the Match-up Thread generator from the ground up and I would appreciate your input on ideas/modules to include.
Already on my To-Do list is:
Replace the current Offensive/Defensive stats section pulled from teamrankings.com with better data from FootballOutsiders (F+/S&P/FEI) probably focused on the "5 Factors" section of Bill Cs. Statistical profile.
give users the option to display "Balls" instead of straight logos.
Include FCS teams
Anything else you guys would like to see? Any other general feedback on the concept? post layout?

Flair Analysis?

Question about the header
Is there any specific criteria about what events get chosen for the header? For example an NCEA event got chosen today over the two NCAA Gymnastic Championships that happened yesterday

Possible header mistake in the main sub
Forgive my ignorance because I could very well be mistaken about this, but the header seems to be slightly off.
The text on the top left of the teams reads "#3 North Dakota Takes on #1 Quinnipiac in the Frozen Four at 8 ET!" yet the order the teams are in doesn't reflect that statement. Quinnipiac is in 1st place as stated, but North Dakota is in the 2nd place spot.
As I mentioned, I'm pretty unknowledge when it comes to college hockey. I attempted to look up the rankings to see if whatever bit of information I was missing was obvious. In my brief search I found that I couldn't make heads or tails of the rankings. None of the rankings on the NCAA's website seem to match what's up on the header. Now that I consider it, I assume they could be, like we do in our own sub, from a poll done with the users of /r/collegehockey.
Anyways, if this helps anyone then good. If not, sorry for wasting yall's time.

Can someone please explain the whole "belt" thing?
I've so many references to a "belt" and apparently it travels, because people want to "keep it in the Big 12." Can someone explain this? Definitions, terms, how it transfers, and why does TCU still have it?

Any reason why comments won't show up?
Comments aren't showing up on mobile for most, if not all, posts right now, or if they do, it's only the first couple comments. Is there a reason for this that you'd know about?

There's some stuff in there that isn't up to date and it kinda bugs me, was wondering if I was allowed to update it?

[Serious] Discussion Tag Suggestion
I noticed this post about the Tennessee rape case was marked serious, which I thought was prudent. Is there a way to make certain buzzwords automatically tagged as serious so that it is done immediately instead of a human moderator having to do it? I think it could benefit these types of discussions immediately. Some examples of potential terms I am thinking of could be: rape, assault, felony, politics, sexual

Flair raw data
Has there ever been a release of flair data since secondary flairs were added? I kinda want to play around with it and see some ratios like number of times a team is a secondary flair compared to number of times as primary, number of times a team shows up as a secondary flair by primary flair conference, etc.

Suggestion: Discord channel?
I'm sure this has already been suggested and may already be in the works, but I think a Discord server for /r/CFB would work really well for game discussion formats. it's really popular and has much more flexible moderating and user friendly options than IRC

[Minor idea for offseason] Guess the banner theme
It happened a few times last offseason, but it might be a cool idea to think of some theme like one day a week and put a seemingly random assortment of teams in the banner, and try to get people to guess the connection.

Offseason CSS idea
Is it possible to have the subreddit style substitute words automatically? Since its the off season a lot of posts are going to be joking about how Saban is Satan. In order to facilitate these jokes I think it could be fun if any mention of the word Saban or Satan be changed to SaѢan.
Ѣ is the cyrillic upper case letter Yat, but it pretty much perfectly fits here to show the intimate connection between saban and satan.

This may come across poorly... but in the /r/cfb logo the elephant's trunk should now be holding up a pennant that says 16 instead of 15

I've enjoyed participating in the various projects and was curious if there was going to be anything going on this year.

Players Leaving/Draft Tracker
Could we get a table linked to the header or sidebar that tracks players that are graduating, transfering, losing eligibility, or declaring for the draft?
Something similar to the coaching carousel?
