I'm getting xml errors when I try to see any of the historical banners.

Persists across Chrome, FF, Brave, and Edge.

Is the scoreboard (https://scoreboard.redditcfb.com/) open source?

I have would like to suggest it save the settings in the browser or as url parameters so that if the page is refreshed, I don't have to re-configure it again.

If it is open source, I'd be submit this request on the repo and possibly implement the solution (if I know the language).

The Hail Mary play in the MIA/VT game is currently being talked about all over ESPN yet is nowhere to be found on r/CFB. A Tweet talking about it is allowed yet a highlight isn't. The mods honestly don't think this is what the users want, right?

The whole "too many games on Saturdays would clutter the front page with highlights!!!" argument doesn't make sense on days like today or CFP days where there's only 1 or 2 games. So why not have a compromise with allowing highlight on those days?

Is there a ruleset that determines featured games? Or is it just a selection by the mods with no set criteria?

About the only rule that seems to definitely be in place is Ranked vs Ranked (although if that's true: is it recalculated each week? I've never checked to see if the featured games slate in the future changes as the rankings change or not)

After that, it doesn't appear to be any of the following:

Games with a top 10 team Games with a top 10 team where the line is less than 2 scores Games with a ranked team where the line is 1 score or less

And fundamentally, line based rules seem tricky because of how much the line changes.

Oklahoma State vs Utah just shifted 5 points in like 6 hours, which points at potential news. Worth a discussion or rumor mongering and would be deleted?

Didn’t there used to be a “rumor” tag I could use when posting? Didn’t see that tag available.

To start, I'd like to throw out there that I don't particularly like Florida State or its fans very much right now either and I am reveling in the Seminoles' on-field misfortune.

I would say I've been around this board for a while now and I have no idea what the controversy was with PFB. I remember he would post articles about FSU's rivals regularly, but Reddit is a content aggregator for lack of a better term, and if FSU's rivals kept doing dumb things sharing them seemed warranted. I vaguely remember some controversy about him becoming a moderator for a week sometime between 2019-2022, and then the community said he did something when he hadn't even been given modding privileges yet, and it just became a mess and he stepped down. That is all I know about the guy.

Threads like these don't really seem kosher. This is an old controversy, and the sub keeps growing with people who do not know who this is (along with oldheads who don't know what the hell is going on), nor can the people who keep bashing on him actually articulate what he did wrong. It seems as though comments about him get upvoted just because it is a way for users to feel that they are "in the know" about this board's lore. Posters are using his history of sharing institutions' and public figures' very public screw-ups as license to attack him as a person. This continued "piling on" of an account that isn't even that active here anymore seems extremely disrespectful.

Is that still a thing that gets updated?

NAIA conference flairs replaced by networks

Rivalry trophy flairs are all mismatched

Alternate/trophy flairs are wrong or outright missing

'Miscellaneous' flairs are in complete chaos

And many more examples.

Over the last few weeks, even months, we've seen an influx of posts primarily consisting of a single comment, sometimes taken out of context, by a media presenter. This has mainly manifested itself in the form of Paul Finebaum "takes". These posts do nothing to contribute to any positive discussion, with their sole purpose in most cases being to generate clicks. These posts are also being downvoted en masse.

Mods, I as a user, and I'm sure I speak for many more, believe these types of posts need to be banned, or alternatively caught more frequently by the spam filter. At the very least we feel Finebaum posts need to be removed.

Any idea why it's gone? Can't find neither the older posts or a new one.

(Didn't know this sub even existed, thanks for u/guttata for the tip!)

I've been a member of the subreddit for a while now, I upvote, I comment, I participate. Why does it still automatically remove my posts and tell me I haven't met participation requirements yet?

Please forgive me if should have done this via modmail or not, but I figured it might be more permanent to post it here. Seeing as the first was Realignment Day, I figured it would be a good idea to mention how it seems the Recruit Post Generator hasn't been updated since 2018. In that time a few schools have made the jump to FCS and some have moved down or been dropped completely.

We've had a plethora of posts where people just want to talk about the new game but they all keep getting removed. Why? I get that not everything deserves a comment, but they're going to keep coming up because its obviously something people want to talk about.

Both On3 and 247 composites are allowed, and Grant was a composite 5* on On3 at the time of this posting. After it was posted, On3 updated his profile from 2025 to class of 2024 and it removed all his rankings. But when this was posted, he was a 5*.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/1cr3xti/2025_5_cb_tarrion_grant_reclassifies_to_2024_and/

Using commit from UGA today to highlight profile differences, On3 has an easier to follow ranking summary. They show the composite alongside each individual service's rankings with a link to the player profile within that service.

For team rankings, I do not care. The 247 team rankings are probably easier to follow (if people care) but the composite is a lot cleaner and more informative on On3 for players.

Can we get a megathread or just outright removal of these posts? There are so many posts of just dumb twitter drama on the sub right now and there's no way to filter them out at all.

I know it's the offseason but they're just clutter at this point.

Since all recruiting posts have to go through a standardized phrasing, and that phrasing uses conclusive language ("commits" "decommits" "transfers" "has entered"), does that mean that such posts are inappropriate if the supporting source doesn't match that finality?

That is, if there's no direct statement from the player, or journalist saying "this has happened", but rather a reporter saying "I expect this will happen" or "my sources tell me this is in the works", then for anything else we have a mechanism to indicate that: alter the post title to indicate the hedge. But since recruiting posts can't do that, are recruiting posts with sources like that therefore effectively stating something as fact which is still speculation? Is this sufficiently against policy and should be reported?

I don't know how it would be structured and it would depend on how many people were interested, but I think it would be a cool way to celebrate the return of the game. Depending on how well you do you could get a special flair. We could Livestream the championship and/or semifinals on Twitch

IDK what is going on with the mods, but they are deleting any attempt to discuss this news story. There should be nothing wrong with having a discussion on the ethics involved in the media attempting to sway players.

My post was removed but it clearly used the recruiting script and provided first hand source for the details. Any reason this is being deleted? Is the script not valid anymore?

Is there some kind of disagreement among the mods? Seems like post removal has become really inconsistent and worse, unexplained, especially when it comes to recruiting/transfer portal posts. Lately it's been the Boise posts; just take a look at these comments:

https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/190r98p/usc_qb_malachi_nelson_transfers_to_boise_state/

Is there something that the rest of us don't know? Removals like these just seem to detract from conversations that people want to have. It doesn't seem to be related to the formatting of the posts either; even posts made with the (quite unpopular) recruiting post generator have been removed.

Is this a mod with an itchy trigger finger? Or is something else going on? Maybe y'all could explain these frequent removals more clearly since there seems to be widespread misunderstanding about what kind of posts are allowed. (E.g. adding a boilerplate explanation when the posts are removed)

Mods hesitated to act when the CFP account (25 days old, no previous subreddit participation before today) dropped 6 posts in 15 minutes.

It's understandable and unavoidable that the mods want to give preferential treatment to these accounts. Still, the mods need to be proactive with education on the community rules and enforce quality posting if these accounts actually want to gain these privileges.

Sometimes the photos in the banner are small and hard to make out. When I click on them they could open a large version of them, instead of the Team Guide.

It's ridiculous.

Is it time for a Michigan Mega thread? At the moment 6 of the top 10 posts are about Michigan and Harbaugh. Every day we're seeing more of the same and nothing majorly new. It's been done in the past with realignment and other things, its time to do the same here.

Gents, been getting errors for a couple days now. Is everything okay? Or is it just me (2 phones, three computers, 1 tablet, and one server admin account that shouldnt be allowed on the internet but is...)

I can't believe this is a real thing I'm asking, but since apparently the CW bought out the regional contract for ACC games, can we get them added to the matchup preview generator as a network option? Obviously, it can be changed manually, but if it's not too hard

Just a couple recommendations:

*Able to select only games with teams in a conference (all big 10, big12, etc.)

*Able to select top 10 matchups

*Able to select top 25 matchups
