  1. Well, The Citadel just came off a season where they beat a P5 team, when Bama put them on the schedule.
  2. Either that or let each P5 conference subsidize a partner FCS conference and as a JSU fan, I would be happy. I fully admit, I do not have all the answers. I just get tired of the conference bashing without taking everything into account. I mean, fuck the rest of the teams in the SEC(except maybe Vandy) but the real reason the SEC does anything is about money. Not that that makes them holy, it just makes them smart to take advantage of whatever wrinkles they can.
  3. I am not saying all G5 should have to play two P5, only if they want an auto bid for their highest team. I also made those final two games somewhat flexible for the P5 team, any combo of P5/G5/with one possible FCS. Sosome teams cold schedule 2 G5 teams for their last two slots.
  4. As a Bama season ticket holder, I would much rather have another marquee opponent coming into BDS than a FCS "cupcake". I am just pointing out why those games are played. In Bama's case, it is not for an auto win. It is to ensure they have 7 home games for the season ticket holders. Now that they finally are seeming to go away from the neutral openers, with the ND and UT home and homes scheduled, they may end up with less of those, especially during the home stands of those series.
  5. You will hear it quite a bit from FCS fans, of which I am one of those. My alma mater, JSU, has needed those payout games to stay somewhat relevant in their division. B12 teams play FCS teams, maybe not every team but still. ACC plays them, B1G play in state FCS teams. It is no more of a bye week than playing a bottom dwelling P5 or G5 team. Hell, we had more injuries playing against the Citadel than most P5 games this season, dealing with all the cut blocking against an option team.
  6. Many times, FCS teams are better than bottom dweller P5 or G5 teams. It also helps fund those programs. App St would not be where they are today without those games. Same goes for NDST.
  7. No, they don't want to give up the fuckload of money they make off the SECCG. The SECCG makes more on average than the rest of the P5 CCGs combined. Again, they would have welcomed 8 this year, as UGA likely gets ab at large spot and the conference gets another huge payout.
  8. ftfy FWIW, I agree that we need standardized scheduling in all leagues. For the P5 make it 9 conf games, 1 P5 OOC and other two can be any combo of P5/G5/FCS)no two games against FCS except in emergency situations). If a G5 wants to qualify, they must play at least two P5 opponents.
  9. I am not sure they are not going along with it, they are just not willing to do away with the SECCG to get it. This year and many others, they would have welcomed a 8 team playoff, if it meant a second SEC team got in.
  10. That bracket in the second post is the way it should be done, first round at higher seed, rest to follow same setup as current 4 team CFP. The selection committee is just to select the at large and set seeding. They do need to flip the 4/5 around. OU sux but they deserve the home game over UGA, just because of one less loss and conf champ. They do not need to get rid of the CCGs, a conf can if they want to do so but it is not necessary. A grand total of two teams are going to play an extra game in this scenario. Total of up to 16 games.
  11. I put him at Syracuse. BTW, finally one of the HC awards goes to Bill Clark at UAB, he just won the Eddie Robinson COTY.
  12. I would say that you must have more than one digit in your age.
  13. Not near the same distance but in this play, he took an All-B1G DL and threw him like a ragdoll...
  14. That is their modus operandi every year now. Same for the ESPYs.
  15. I would say there is a major difference there. One is for collegiate awards, the other for pro sports. I imagine the NCAA allows all these players to fly to these awards shows, on their team planes with their coaches. Also, rules do change from time ti time. The current meal plan and monthly sipend that the P5 players get used to be illegal.
  16. A few weeks ago, I looked it up and Henry had a higher YPC avg than Lewis. The Titans just decided they needed to give Lewis far more carries per game.
  17. Not to take anything away from UGA but our offensive play calling was atrocious in that game. 1st down pass. Second down pass, third down pass. The one thing that worked, runs between the tackles, they did rarely. Thank goodness UGA was stupid enough to try and pull that fake. I am so happy for Jalen though. Dude is all class. He has improved so much under Enos. He still will not ever be a NFL starting QB but he may have a chance at a backup job.
  18. Is Snyder trying to field the All-Bama defense? Might as well give Rolando his 4th chance, while he is at it. Whether or not Reuben is actually smacking the five head, he is a dumbass for still having anything to do with her.
  19. Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. That said, hope you went into a tryptophan coma yesterday, one you are barely coming out of now.
  20. There are 5 of us brothers. The second oldest played football for Bryant at Bama. The 3rd oldest ran track(distance) at JSU. I temporarily played tennis at JSU, before being cut after breaking my wrist playing pickup basketball. The brother that was just older than me, he could have played football in college but he was the only one of us that did not want to go to college. My oldest brother came the closest to being a pro athlete. He was a sponsored cyclist, trained with some of the biggest names in cycling. He never made enough to make a living though.
  21. I am not saying they have been great or anything, just saying that not blowing it dead was the right thing to do, if there is any question. When a QB is surrounded by the pcket collapsing, kinda tough to see everything unless you are 10 feet tall.
