  1. When is the portal opening? I guess Sark doesn't have to worry about juggling portal with playoff prep this year. Put everything in to the portal and final HS class
  2. 24 team playoff is too many games after playing a 12 game season. I'd rather they just scrap the byes, go to a 16 team playoff, and scrap all auto bids. Just rank all the teams 1 to 16 and seed it by ranking.
  3. There's no way to do a "normal playoff" with well over 100 teams eligible and conferences that are completely unbalanced. The entire system would have to be scrapped and redone to get rid of the auto bids for weak conferences by eliminating weak conferences.
  4. Alabama deserves to be in over us no doubt. OU is questionable. They also had a tough SEC schedule. The difference between the two, other than we beat them H2H, is their blue blood OOC opponent happened to suck this year and ours ended up the undefeated #1 ranked team at the end. Not their fault, they scheduled up like we did in OOC, they just got the luck of the draw that we got last year by getting a Michigan that was a shell of it's Harbaugh era self. To me that's the only question for the committee. Does our H2H win and harder OOC opponent mean more than their 1 fewer loss due to the easier OOC opponent.
  5. Every player who isn't going to be back next season should not play. Just use it as an experience game for the young guys returning you want to step up into a role next season. It's just a glorified scrimmage. Means nothing. Just use it as such. Hell, Sark and Moore could probably both agree to that. It's just a shame if we can't be in the playoffs that our last memory of this team won't be kicking aggy ass.
  6. The NCAA should mandate the top 4 teams in the Big 10 from the previous season have to play each other in the following season due to the league being ridiculously top heavy. It's completely unbalanced compared to the SEC. Anyone who says "well OSU took a chance and played us" needs to look at OSU's schedule. Outside of Michigan, whose best win was Nebraska, Texas is the really only legitimate team they played all year. They had a conference schedule cake walk to the Big 10 title game. We have no idea how good they actually are until they get Indiana in a week and then someone like Georgia in the playoffs.
  7. Gonna be honest. In this era of NIL, portal, and playoffs this does nothing for me. I doubt I'll watch more than a quarter of it if any at all. It's just a new era. If you arent in the playoffs you're irrelevant. Some NIT like consolation prize game just isn't important enough for my time with all I have going on.
  8. Let's look at Georgia's OOC schedule... Marshall App St Charlotte Georgia Tech Are they going to be losing a road playoff game before Christmas?
  9. Would have to go to a 16 team playoff and still doesnt fix the unbalanced nature of the conferences. Michigan's best win all year might be Nebraska. They also didnt play Indiana or Oregon just like OSU. They got blown out by USC. They don't deserve any mention of a playoff spot. There's no way this gets fixed any time soon if ever. The conferences are going to be wildly unbalanced. That's why it makes no sense for an SEC team to schedule a difficult OOC game because the SEC schedule is mostly brutal compared to any other conference's schedule.
  10. Especially Alabama who also had a loss OOC to a terrible Florida St team. So you would have to throw out their loss if you throw out our loss. Which makes them a 1 loss team. There's no good way to put us in without screwing over another team with a better record. The committee isn't going to do that unless that team has an injured QB. Even if that team beat no one all season and we beat 3 top 10 teams and lost to the #1 and #3 teams in the final standings. Only real way to do NFL scheduling is to take ths top 32 programs in the country, break it off into a separate level of college football, create 2 conferences and 8 divisions of 4 teams. So basically it becomes NFL Lite.
  11. Or yet another way, their only loss in conference was to a team with 6 conference wins. That means the teams they beat in conference had a combined 13 conference wins. For 7 teams.
  12. Then you have to compete against teams from conferences that absolutely suck. In the Big 10 Ohio State didnt even play Indiana or Oregon, the only teams in their conference above mediocre besides them. TTU gets to play a soft as charmin big 12 schedule. The ACC is a bunch of crap teams. It's already completely unbalanced, so why stack the deck further against yourself by scheduling one of the other title contenders in non conference where losing hurts you just as bad as losing a conference game does? We'll see, but the committee said losing a conference title game wont be counted against you. Yet winning one gets an auto bid. So basically the CCG is nothing to lose, everything to gain.
  13. Alabama lost to Florida State, a worse team than Florida with only 5 wins in a weak conference that fot blown out by Florida today. But Alabama is most likely going to the playoff over us. Why? They lost one fewer game. Even if they got beaten by an OU team we destroyed. So what's the lesson? Lose fewer games. How do you do that? Play easier non con opponents. We stacked the deck against ourselves this season. We're doing it again the next few seasons. We should find a way to not do that if Alabama and OU get in over us because they lost 1 fewer game by not choosing to play the #1 team in the country when they didn't have to do so.
  14. 10-2 record and they're in. So the 3rd loss doesn't matter where it comes from. Ohio State or Florida it's the same. Florida is conference. You have to play them. Ohio State is not. You dont have to play it. So dont fucking play it until the NCAA sets up a system where every power conference team has to play another power conference team of similar stature once in OOC. Tilting the playing field against yourself is stupidity. Either everyone plays one of those games to even the field or we don't. That fucking simple. This shit I said way back in the summer when everyone was spewing dumbass nonsense, and now it's good to see at least half if not more of them are finally seeing the light. We want to play the big matchups in the playoffs. Not September. Unless everyone has to play one.
