Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
You do know OSU has beaten Texas, played 2 non-P4 schools and beat Michigan in conference. Their resume is exactly Texas better than Indiana.

I think what some forget is the money aspect. Big game match-ups bring big viewers and eyes. As a Texas fan, I don't like playing Sam Houston State. I loved beating Bama OOC, I loved the anticipation of OSU. The entire media talked about that game for all of August and will again this fall. It's great for brand and even better if you execute a good game plan and win. It also generates eyes and swag sales. Money matters and I like playing Michigan, OSU, ND and similar teams as a fan. Sure, we could make college football into the NFL, it's taken steps that direction already. If it goes full NFL, I'll just move on from it like I did the NFL and I don't want that because Texas is more than a football team, it's my University.

Wins and fairness don't necessarily bring fans in college like they will in the NFL. Case in point, UNT stadium was half empty in their best season ever just yesterday.

Why stair step the fucking fix. Put the rules in place, move to 16 teams and give a P4 rule grace period of 2-3 years to alter schedules. Indiana can play Tech for example. If you make it a broad rule the schools with lots of them will be searching for similar schools with lots of them. Fix the shit. I get your mindset but this same shit will come up again. We know how to fix it, so fucking fix it now. Not steps every year for a decade.

I'd settle for USC losing to UCLA cause fuck Lincoln Riley and USC.

I'd probably say 4, 4, 1, 1 but we're getting into minutiae. Fix the big picture and let's solve for the rest.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Well you fix it by first taking non-P4 games off the plate as a measurement in W/L record, SOS and SOR. Kicking G5 out of the playoffs. Forcing ND into a conference. Require a 9 game conference schedule. Then move to 16 teams. I mean there is another college football division that has been doing this a while. It's not rocket science. Other things can be added or subtracted but that resolves basically all of the current issues.

They would be in the AP top 10 and CFP top 10. Their 2 losses are to paper tiger Miami and aggie. Top wins are soon to be unranked Pitt, Navy and a team losing UCLA at half in USC. Those 2 losses are doing 100% of the lifting for ND. Losses to paper tigers are the strength of the ND schedule.

Ahhh.. that's right. Well, automatic qualified for winning ACC? Why am I defending Clemson.

Played in ACC champ game where they got their 3rd loss. The committee held true to their commitment and the teams were announced prior to the championship games last year.

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
What a strong and bold take there Mr Bennett. You should become a professional gambler.

Well, if, by god, Bama loses tonight the broader fan base will definitely be calling for his head so hopefully it works out for all of "us".

More pay, less toxic fan base with other wordly expectations that are from a bygone era, weather, good food, a happy wife, and many other reasons. Bama wasn't a top destination before Saban. He was there so long people forget they were pretty much an also ran for a long time. Their fans expect Saban results and anything less is a failure. My point is I could see someone getting there and being "Oh shit this is a mess". Remember the fans wanted him fired earlier this year and multiple times last year. So.. it's not that USC is that great of a place just that I can see an HC thinking "Fuck all this" about Bama. There are several Bama fans around here and I'm curious about their take.

Well, we differ in that I think earning a spot is preferable to getting grifted one as punishment to players for the choices of a coach. But I'm all ethical and shit so the fuck do I know.

So he's a Tuscaloosa kinda guy who took a job in Washington? That makes no sense at all.

You think it would be funny to punish the blood sweat and pain of the Ole Miss players because their head coach took another coaching job. That's certainly a take.

They were an early season paper tiger. Glassine paper. Dunno if they or Virginia are the biggest frauds outside teams not named aggie.

Pig keeps acting like they are a team and then their defense "shows up" to remind us all of the truth.
