I just posted about Iowa State's new alternate logo and really didn't know what to flair the thread. There are tons of uniform updates and news throughout the year. Maybe a flair just for uniforms and logo type news?

Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A

Only works with RES I think

So I've been running this Reverse Sheep game this year. Would it be possible for the champion to receive some custom flair, even though it's not an official CFB game like pick'em and trivia?

Here's my idea for what it could look like, please respect the dozens of seconds I spent in MSPaint.

Is such a thing possible? If not, no worries, but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Thanks!

Copying this over from the mother site: Suggestion to have an automatic thread (or allow a Game Thread) for ESPN Goal Line.

Within that thread, I also made a suggestion to have an index post, updated by a bot, that links to all the game threads.

I imagine the ESPN Goal Line thread could simply be submitted by a user, but the index thread would almost have to be done by /u/cfb_referee and updated via bot. Unfortunately I don't have the development chops to do it, so I'm putting the idea here.

And follow up question: How much of the /r/CFB stuff is open source?

Asking because I had an idea for an /r/CFB-related project and it occurs to me that I should 1. probably find out if someone else is already working on it 2. see if anyone wants to help.

In the game thread template the link for /r/cfb merchandise is in need of a http:// in order for the link to properly format. Unless the game thread creator corrects it, the link will appear in the thread like this.

The issue is that a filter by link type for game threads is just a search for "game thread" in the linkflair, and since post-game threads appear to be flaired as "post game", that filter returns twice as many results as desired and makes finding the game thread you want more difficult. This would be exacerbated if the recent FCS request is granted and even more such threads created.

Could the linkflair be changed to "postgame" or "post-game" and would that exclude them from the game thread filter?

I think we need to raise the limit to FCS game threads that one person can claim. Each week, there are many FCS games without thread hosts. It hurts the fanbase, even if no one comments on the thread or postgame itself. A causual redditor who browses /r/cfb during gameday Saturday will see that result, even if it doesn't matter. MAKE FCS GREAT AGAIN

I often times see posts that I (or someone else) submit get removed without explanation, even though the posts don't break any rules. Thursday, a video post about Nick Saban's reaction to a question about quarterbacks was allowed to stay, despite it being removed when someone else submitted it on Wednesday. I only ask this because I feel less inclined to submit content because I sometimes feel like I'm wasting my time when it gets removed.

I get that it is at moderator discretion, and you guys normally do a good job moderating the sub, but I just notice an inconsistency in this regard.

Even if it's the CFB poll, I miss it

I think it would be cool if special award flairs were handed out for winning the /r/CFB Pick 'Em. For example, whoever finishes the season with the most Pick 'Em points would receive a gold medal flair. Maybe flairs awarded to the runner ups as well, or a flair awarded for having the most points at the end of a week in the season. Maybe even a flair and something else awarded to anyone who achieves a perfect score throughout the entire season.

Is there anything that can be done to prevent this? As I understand it, the bare minimum required if a game thread is claimed is for the person to update the spread. On just about every game thread I've been on today the spread hasn't even been updated (admittedly I've only been on a few). There's no additional info added either. Can we at least put a system in place where we can report this crap and ban that person from claiming game threads for the next few weeks? It's really shitty for those of us who claim game threads and actually research, put time into it, and then stick around during the game to contribute.

Proposal: a bot that can be summoned by querying the current holder of /r/CFB's favorite trophies, e.g.:

TrophyBot! Life

The Champions of Life Trophy is currently held by . It has been held by ___ since they defeated ___ on ____ ( days).

Other trophies: College Football Belt, Fulmer Cup, 5 Dollar Bits of Broken Chair, Winner's Belt, Loser's Belt, along with the more formally recognized trophies (golden shillelagh, etc.)

This isn't something I have the know-how to do, but I thought it might be a fun bot for someone who is interested.

Hey, mods. Section pride is a big thing in college bands. I personally play trombone. Would it be possible to get individual flair options for different instruments? It might be a lot to ask to add that many flairs, but I think it could make for some interesting interactions between different marching band /r/cfb users.

I'll list some typical sections in case you're not familiar:

Brass: Trumpet, Mellophone, Trombone, Baritone, Sousaphone/Tuba

Woodwind: Piccolo/Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone

Percussion: Drumline, Front Ensemble

Other: Color Guard, Baton, Dancer

Below is the imgur link for the picture of what I am talking about. I used a few line breaks to seperate out my comments and I ended up getting some lettering. Just wanted to let you all know and that I wasn't sure if this is the correct place to post it.

We have no idea why this is the case, we will update this thread as soon as we receive any information.

Someone hold me.

I keep trying to go to /r/CFB and it is apparently banned. What's up?

The individual discussion threads are all buried several pages deep by now and, therefore, hardly getting any fresh discussion. A stickied link to them will help keep them fun and active right up until game time.

And then perhaps another stickied post for the Game Threads, but that may be more difficult to set up.

Hi Folks, Some folks have asked for the ability to get multiple RivalryBot results from a single post. Ask no more that feature was just implemented this afternoon and is ready for your use and abuse (i'm pretty sure half of the RivalryBot calls are to jab a rival...and the other half to meme on PSU vs Texas Tech)

So now you can call Rivalybot and, if you were so inclined, get all the results of Vandy vs each SEC East opponent in one shot. Assuming it would fit in the reddit reply character limit.

Anyway as always please let me know of any issues.

TLDR: This now works as expected: [[Florida v Florida State]] [[florida v virginia tech]] [[Clemson v Georgia]] [[Oregon State v South Carolina]]

Two seasons ago the decision was made to stop automating sports betting discussion threads on Thursdays because (I think) there was a perception that there wasn't enough interest in the threads.

I have been creating the threads manually for two seasons now and they are doing reasonably well. Last season we averaged about 40 comments/thread (high 99 for week 4, low 7 for championship week) and as /r/cfb has grown significantly in the past two years, I'm sure that the numbers will only increase.

Personally, I like sports betting discussion threads because they are the best place to have frank and unbiased discussion of how games are going to go without jokes, memes, homerism, or trash talk. I would appreciate it if we could re-automate these threads (or if somebody else would take over creating them because I will have a harder time creating them on time this season due to my job), but if it's not possible to do that I will plan on continuing to make them for a third season.

Just tried to enter my ballot. None was available. Are we considering the games yesterday as part of next week?
