Quote HistoryQuoted: So who impresses you and you would be happy with the hire if Harbaugh was to leave? I would have to think a lot of the big names were already contacted this year about interest at some pretty high profile programs and others were actually hired. That means there are some guys who aren’t interested in leaving their current situation and others who have recently moved. So who is it? Who’s left out there? Matt Campbell Dabo Sean McVay Lane Kiffin Luke Fickell I bet any of those could win a Big 10 title within 7 years. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I’ve never agreed with the playoffs making the regular season less significant. Didn’t that come about due to some NFL teams who had already qualified for the playoffs being accused of resting players and “cheating” the fans out of getting to watch them play? Is that what college fans are afraid of? Hell they’re getting cheated by all the opt outs in bowl games from the NFL quality players. Could that be fixed by making the games worth something? Like expanding the playoffs? Opt outs don’t appear to be a problem in the playoff games. To be fair, muh eyeball test has made the regular season results unimportant. But that is the committee’s problem they created |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I would say the more recent game would be more indicative of where a team sits now if I was the committee. In reality, I have always believed, when comparing two closely matched teams, that it is difficult to win twice. I think setting up rematches in a playoff hampers the team that won in the regular season. Part of my reason for preferring a system that selects against rematches. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: One hole in that is the fact Oklahoma St beat Baylor earlier in the year. Baylor won the rematch yesterday so does that mean Georgia possibly wins the rematch vs Bama or OSU vs Michigan?

Rematches are the reason why I’m not necessarily a fan of conference championship games. Utah / Oregon and Baylor / Okie St had already played. I’d be fine skipping that and moving straight into an expanded playoff. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: But that's always been the problem with the playoff/NFL-style way of settling a champion. Even in sports with longer seasons, a la baseball, the team that gets hot at the right time takes home the trophy. If you are fine with that team being the champion, so be it; just don't pretend that the regular season or conference championships matter all that much. And that's my problem with the playoff. CFB had - HAD - the best regular season of all sports, and I loved it. And even the old bowl system made for a fascinating bowl season/New Years Day. I was never a fan of this playoff system from the beginning, because it always, obviously, had to come at the expense of the regular season; 4 teams was never going to be enough to satisfy everyone; and expanding the playoff just makes the regular season less compelling. Again, there's nothing wrong with picking one way or the other to 'declare' the champion; I just didn't think there was so much wrong with the way CFB did it that we had to destroy the main thing that made CFB great. Or, to put it another way, I don't think the way CFB does it now is good enough to justify destroying the CFB regular season. tl;dr does anyone actually think the 2007 Giants were better than the 2007 Patriots? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: I have always felt like saying the playoff committee should pick the four "best teams" didn't make a lot of sense. I think it should be used to settle unanswered questions about the top teams. For example, let's assume for a minute we all agreed that the four best teams were Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama and Georgia. What good would seeding all four of those really do? We already know Michigan and Alabama have won those match ups. The unanswered questions for me would be, how do Cincinnati (Notre Dame is eliminated by Cincinnati already beating them - question answered) and Baylor (Okla St lost - question answered) do in that mix. The Pac 12 and ACC just didn't have a strong enough showing this year to justify a "question". All still a subjective test, but seems a little easier to justify your eliminations and make head to heads through the season matter. One hole in that is the fact Oklahoma St beat Baylor earlier in the year. Baylor won the rematch yesterday so does that mean Georgia possibly wins the rematch vs Bama or OSU vs Michigan?

Every year there are usually two teams that are noticeably better than the rest and sometimes a third. Sports media pushed for playoffs to get more material to talk/write about at the expense of more than a century of tradition. |

He's not gonna win many games, he couldn't win in the weakass pac12 with zero competition ; so in the acc where some random teams are passably good each year - he's gonna get wrecked.

You don't see such a drastic change in demeanor unless something is up. If he wins, I bet two dollars he's out. Maaayyybe he comes back if he doesn't win. But I bet dude is gone if he wins again. |

As soon as it's on film, every opposing defensive coordinator will outline the potential for this tomfoolery. Eventually the QB will try it again, the D won't bite on the bluff and the QB will be hurt. That will be the end of fake slides as then the NCAA will come in and make it yet another judgement call penalty the ref's get power over. Oh did it look like the QB was going to slide? Then the D probably thought the same thing, back that game winning TD back to the spot where the QB tripped/stumbled and it looks like he was faking a slide. |

Miami doesn't care about football, constant investigations for being dirty, don't have their own stadium, etc etc. Honestly any of the big three in Florida (Miami, FSU, UF) have a shot of being NC teams simply due to being in the most talent laden state for recruits. Both homegrown and imported, due to all the football Highschools that literally are just HS farm leagues for college. Get a lights out recruiter at any of the big 3, and it's game over. |

And here we are again at the point we realize that results on the field are the only true way to settle this controversy. And your hard on vs Georgia is duly noted. That's no fault of Cinci? Who scheduled their opponents? Jerry Jones? Oh wait Cinci set up their own schedule. It was Cinci who decided to schedule only one out of conference game against a team that has been ranked in the last 10y. Look, everyone knows the AA is a shit conference. If a team is looking to break the mold they can either just play their shit schedule and face the ridicule of their poor strength of schedule (and the risk of one loss knocking them out). Or then can man the fuck up and schedule some real games against real teams. ONE ranked out of conference game isn't even close to a down year Pac12 schedule, much less a B1G or SEC schedule. It is Cinci's fault. Quit trying to pass the blame to some "mystical system" when we all know that teams have control of their own schedule. --------------------------------- That being said, Cinci did answer the calling and is fixing this problem by going to a stronger conference. They saw the writing on the wall and stepped up. But that's a decision they made for the future. This year their schedule was their doing. |

If a team is looking to break the mold they can either just play their shit schedule and face the ridicule of their poor strength of schedule (and the risk of one loss knocking them out). Or then can man the fuck up and schedule some real games against real teams. ONE ranked out of conference game isn't even close to a down year Pac12 schedule, much less a B1G or SEC schedule. It is Cinci's fault. Quit trying to pass the blame to some "mystical system" when we all know that teams have control of their own schedule. --------------------------------- That being said, Cinci did answer the calling and is fixing this problem by going to a stronger conference. They saw the writing on the wall and stepped up. But that's a decision they made for the future. This year their schedule was their doing. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Exactly but that’s exactly why Cincinnati is in the playoffs. Because they are undefeated from having played a weak ass schedule. That’s no fault of Cincinnatis. That’s a fault of the system. Same as when Western Michigan and UCF went undefeated. But none of that changes the SOS argument. And here we are again at the point we realize that results on the field are the only true way to settle this controversy. And your hard on vs Georgia is duly noted. That's no fault of Cinci?

That will soon be corrected. But then how strong will the new Big12 honestly be? |
