  1. Let ND throw a fit and cancel the game themselves. No need to waste our money if we can get a couple million from them.
  2. There is enough talent in the ACC region of the US for them to have competitive teams and rival the B12. ND needs the ACC as no other power conference will allow them to schedule 8 games a year. ND with USC yearly and a sun belt schedule would rival UConn in a decade. NBC would tell them to kick rocks when they have James Madison on the schedule every year.
  3. Day 5 of their OC search and the only names mentioned as realistic targets are Holmon Wiggins and Bobby Petrino. One thing nobody in aggie land has realized yet is Mike Elkos surprising lack of connections in the industry. Spending 15 years with Dave Clawson, Brian Kelly, and Jimbo Fisher really set him up for sustained success.
  4. When you have 4 or more teams tied in a conference no amount of tie breakers can accurately determine who really should be there. Once we go to 9 it will likely be a moot point but bringing the committee in takes a teams whole season into account as opposed good teams getting snubbed for 5 loss duke or a Bama team that lost to Florida State and a bad OU team. Conferences want as many good teams as possible in the playoff and playing into their rankings for CCG week is the only way to ensure this years fiasco does not happen again
  5. Going to 12 was always stupid and meant we were headed to 16 sooner than later. The following format would fix the CCG mess and ensure we keep big OOC matchups. 16 team Playoff 6 auto bids. ( I would add that conferences must use CFP ranking to break ties to get the best winners) 10 at large bids All first round games at home Top 3 Conference Champs get the top 3 seeds. Historically the Big 10 and SEC are close and a 3rd conference has a top 5 ish team. Could leave it at 2 as well. The benefit of winning the Sec or Big 10 is a first round home game against the Tulanes and JMUs of the world in lieu of a first round bye and limits the negative effect waiting 3 weeks. Also rewards Texas, ND, and USC for playing big opponents early and out of conference.
  6. All conferences should go to a CFP based tie breaker when there are 3 or more teams tied atop the standings to get the best CCG participants and this would not be an issue. ND Bama and Miami all get in if the matchups are: Miami vs Virginia Georgia vs Ole Miss (& Lane) Big 10 and Big 12 stay the same.
  7. That would be a good fit and help Franklin in year 1 but Oregon, Alabama , LSU, and Miami are likely looking for new QBs next year.
  8. Has not played since 10/25 but finished the year with 15 total TDs and 3 Ints. Will likely be the top portal QB barring a huge name dropping after Christmas bowls are done.
  9. I'm glad we're playing in this game. I'd rather have 3 more weeks of buy in from these guys before the portal opens. ND on the other hand has 100 dudes sitting around for a month trying to decide whether to stay or go.
  10. People are underestimating Miami due to the ACCs stupid tie breakers. They created a system the tool the 2 worst teams od the top 6. Miami is good enough on the d line to shut down the run and force Reed to beat them with his arm. Theyre susceptible to a big coverage bust so they'll just need to play deep all night and follow the Texas game plan. Carson Beck has been much better than yall think. In his last 4 games he has 11 TDs with 1 interception. And taking out the Louisville game he had 25/6 for the year. Marcel Reed on the other hand has 9 total TDs and 6 interceptions over his last 4 games against FBS teams. A&M has been trending down since the LSU game and injuries are racking up. This game is also at 11 a.m. making the home field advantage much less effective. Give me Miami in a close one. 31-27
  11. Bowls aren't going anywhere. These numbers outpaced the average bottom 12 P4 game this year.
  12. ND took a self imposed 45 year hiatus from bowls until the late 60s coincidentally when the AP started voting after bowl games for the national championship. Let them take their ball and go home, they'll be back when the sport moves on continues to thrive without them.
  13. There's only 2 bubble teams that can wave ratings
  14. They are pretty much the same person outside of maybe recruiting.
  15. Good hire for Penn State. Iowa state has 4 top 25 finishes all time. Matt Campbell has both of those and the only two higher than 15. They could have done much worse.
  16. Likely tOSU with Lott sticking at Oregon yesterday,
  17. I am about to sit through 30 minutes of McAfee. See yall on the other side
  18. Not many visits to speak of and none in season this year. The Oregon and a PSU visit in 2023 were the only in season visits for Henry
