Making OOC ranking more important and eliminating non-P4 game results from win/loss records will solve for a portion in addition to required 9 conference games. It absolutely will kill football at a lot of the smaller schools due to the millions they'll lose but..

It's 100 years worth of debate over who is or is not the national champion from polls to playoffs. It's a part of the history of P4 college football and it isn't going away. 8, 12 or 16 people are going to bitch about who did and didn't get it. Just like the seeding in the NCAA hoops people love to debate stupid shit on the internet. This board is full of it and not just football shit. And I'm regarding here with my takes for the stupid shit debates with regards and maybe a sternly worded letter.

I think part of the IU hate is based more around the CFP selection process. If I told you a P4 team went 11-1 with their only loss being a top 5 CFP team, would anyone here say they shouldn't make the CFP. What if I also told you that team's most impressive win was over Michigan. Would folks here say they should be excluded from the CFP? I somehow doubt it.

Never happened.

Well, in retrospect his first year operational model was essentially the same as Deion at CU. I would say Cignetti did it better faster with lower talent at critical skill positions than Deion, but thats for another thread. The turn around is remarkable, regardless, and in further retrospect a goodly portion of his team, like Deion, moved from JMU to IU (which you noted). That along with a lot of other transfers. ND isn't a great team, but they were definitely bigger stronger faster than IU. Which, given the respective recruiting history definitely tracks. I'll say this Cignetti schemes really well. 11-2 out front should have told you, regardless of competition, IU was absolutely dominant outside of 3 games all year. That's impressive given what he was starting with at IU. What really surprised me was the number of fans here that heald animosity again IU for their schedule and perceived questionable record. It will be a very interesting story to watch. Can Cignetti use this season to pull in a decent recruiting class and does IU have the NIL money to pull some top not transfers this off season. This year ended about like most predicted, and unlike I anticipated. I don't think ND is as good as some here like to think. I think they were dramatically more talented than IU, that much is clear. The rest is TBD.

Trump isn't going to let anyone, regardless of bank, out Big Swinging Dick him. Now, does he maybe put Leon in check, make him grovel and "forgive" him behind closed door after publicly shitting in his Wheaties, maybe. But can Leon's fragile ass ego handle being dick slapped by Trump publicly then giving him the keys to his Lamborghini so Trump can fuck his woman in it.. Leon strikes me a pretty big cuck, so maybe.

He tried to subtle brag that shit and thought it would go unnoticed. He should know better.

That's not a positive for other potential games down the road. 😉 Also, ND offense will be broken by Georgia size and speed.

Well, sure but the hitch is... does the IU QB performance remind you of any other teams after a INT in the RZ and being pressured?

They also aren't calling PI at all apparently.

There ya go IU!!!!

So, I always look for positives... Texas' punt game apparently isn't the worst in the CFP. Yay!

Let's fucking get this party started!!!

Should be the "Gasparilla and Mike Leach Commerative Bowl"

Well, when you take 2 pretty terrible teams and chup them in a bowl, best not to expect excellent execution.

You're a horrible human and should go fuck yourself. The only time it's okay to pull for tBucknuts is aggie, ousux, pig, Nebraska. That's it and even Nebraska and pig are very questionable. You need Jesus! But not the one in South Bend. The southern Baptist one cause fuck all potatoe huffin' pederast tshirt wearing Irish fuck heads.

If Sark wasn't going to Plan B in Ousux, Georgia1, aggie and Georgia2 (you know for a CFP bye and SEC championship) he doesn't have Plan B for Clemson or the CFP. This isn't a failing of Ewers, this is a massive failure by Sark. There were opportunities to give Arch a LOT more real game time reps where it mattered. That would have allowed Arch to develop and built a much more formidable back up/alt plan. This is the/my/others main problem. Either Sark didn't see or refused to address the issues some of us have been pointing out and the entire media world has now acknowledged. I wish that I, and others that agree with both takes, (Ewers inability/issues and Sarks unwillingness to play Arch) were/are both wrong. However, Sark has absolutely shown an unwillingness to adjust when his plan isn't working. In game and otherwise, specifically at QB. Rather than rotate in Arch a lot more and I dunno, start in in the second half against Georgia1 and Georgia2 he's remained stubborn in his path. I don't see it changing and I think we are stuck with what we have seen already for the rest of this run. Which, ultimately, is my biggest issue. This is/was an SEC championship level team for sure, it remains to be see if it's a National Championship level team. I think our offense struggles but wins against Clemson (thanks D). We shall see from there..

So Joel Klatt says pretty much exactly what a ton of people have been saying here since Georgia1. When he says it it's eloquent. When folks here say it they're tards, and the people arguing they are wrong are logical, reasonable people. That tracks.

Dabo not only liked on side kicks early in games he also uses the fake punt, fake field goals more often than most coaches based on my impressions/feeble recollection. It's absolutely something Texas needs to keep an eye on particularly after the craptastic showing against Georgia2.

Probably.

I love your delusions. I'd like to share them. Sadly I'm sold on the @closetojumping reality that Sark isn't putting it in with any qty at this point. but.. a man can dream.

Whoa there Nellie! I thought this was the kinder gentler new Surly. Why are you kink shaming me?

Well, @closetojumping I have, for reason I'm not even clear about, watched a LOT of Clemson games this season. They are shitty, and yes, as odd as it sounds have worst special teams than Texas. They struggle again any D with a functional or decent run stop. They're secondary is also extremely suspect and they SUCK on redzone D. So.. that's my much more concise take on your long winded but enjoyable and amusing post.

So the Surly gay mafia has deemed the aggie gay propaganda cringey and too gay.... noted Never go full aggie.. Zackly. We all know my regards are regarded and my takes are shit.
