    But 'settling it on the field' is also subjective when one team plays a schedule that isn't like the others vying for a playoff spot. 'Never losing' doesn't mean 'perfect' if one team never loses against a schedule that all of the P5 teams in the Top 25 would also get through without losing. FBS is one division out of history and convenience. UCF could drop down to FCS if they want a chance at a title. They have instead stayed for the money. They and the rest of the G5 accepted $85M per season for a 4-team playoff chosen by a committee that represents the P5, not the G5. They could have said no and forced the P5 to split off. To complain about it now reeks of opportunism.

    Major going to a G5 school as an OC could help us with getting rid of any deadweight. I doubt Diaz or anyone at Miami would want a Mehringer or Warehime on their staff.

    I am surprised someone hasn't reported him to Facebook for trying to monetize his follows. I thought that was against their rules. I know none of us wants to lose the valuable entertainment his tweets provide, but I figured some concerned aggy would have done the deed by now.

    Pretty sure the sister whose head is further back is saying, 'Vai Sikahema'.

    And the last line is the problem. You can't make a rule when the cheaters and their enablers won't vote for it. Making all P5 teams play the same number of games against each other won't get voted on by the G5 who want more payday games against the P5 not less and then there is the entire SEC and ACC who won't vote for it. The P5 can also make their own rules, but I am not sure how that happens and whether majority rules on those votes. I wouldn't be surprised to find out the Big 12 scheduling has gotten worse now that we have a CCG and the committee acts like SOS doesn't matter. (You know SOS will become vitally important to the committee if TCU or WSU or Purdue ever gets in the playoff picture.) We have already dropped one of our P5 games moving ahead and I think several B12 teams are playing FCS teams more often than they used to.

    Same as it ever was. Manziel was able to avoid all but a minor benching over his memorabilia signing in large part because his family could lawyer up. The NCAA goes after the players because they usually can't lawyer up. If a player doesn't have a lawyer and he cooperates he gets punished for the violation, if he doesn't cooperate he gets punished for not cooperating.

    Those 3 cupcakes are less wear and tear, less chance for injury, more chances to play redshirting players and keep them happy, more chances to use the week to implement new concepts to be used later in the season, and less chances to have to put new concepts on film. The wear and tear is important with the expanding playoff. Bama is likely to be no worse the wear for playing extra games in January, having played only 10 decent teams, than a team like Texas that already played 12. Bama has been in the finals most years of the playoffs, but they have probably played no more P5 teams than a Texas program that has been at its nadir and even missed bowl games.

    The reason I don't pay for 247 is the fact that they let the aggy contingent have a say in the rankings. These ass to mouthbreathers completely forget making the national guys changed Green back to OT when they changed him to OG. If that kind of shit happens out in the open, you know there is worse shit going on behind the scenes. I wouldn't be at all surprised if these douches don't run their calculator over and over to find out how tweaking various recruits a spot or two in the rankings affects the team standings. I am sure we get favorable bumps just like aggy as both fanbases are big spenders on their product.

    I was Ok with it until I did a search and found no videos of a Catherine Zeta-Jones lookalike getting anal. It's ironic like Cheerios on your wedding day or something.

    To me, the point he making is that even if there were JUCO CBs who could improve the roster next year, getting them is going to be even more difficult than getting an elite HS CB to commit after last year's haul. The JUCO guy has a shorter clock and any risk that he sits on the bench is going to be greater than a HS senior who has 5 years to play 4.

    Surprised not see 'Ovaries on the Table'.

    I am not going to defend the RB recruiting because the results suggest Drayton and the staff aren't working hard enough after two years of looking like we were caught flatfooted in getting a second RB. That said, there have been other positions where we closed quickly on a new name and then we found out the staff had been working hard for months, but it just never leaked to the 9.95ers. Glass may not be tipping his hand on the amount of contact we have had with him or, perhaps even more likely, Barlow has been the next on the list and we have been working hard to keep him from signing with TCU in the early period and he has kept mum publicly about our pursuit because he is committed to TCU. Herman has kept things pretty tight on his end and if a player isn't talking to the recruiting services, we are likely in the dark.

    I agree. There was some talk that the cost of living stipend was going to knock off some schools, but that wasn't a deterrent. I think schools willing to pay their rosters millions of dollars are going to have to break off. It is already silly that a team like Texas can spend tens of millions on the football program, but could potentially not be part of an expanded playoffs because a spot has to be maintained for a team that won't make that sort of investment and wins by playing a schedule made up of other teams that won't make that investment. If the division remains unchanged then you will also see teams like UCF investing more on players than those in their conference, making it even easier to navigate their pathetic schedule and continually stealing a playoff spot from teams that actually have to compete with their financial peers on weekly basis.

    I think the only rule to be in FBS is to average 15,000 in home attendance (doesn't even have to be paid attendance).
  17. rickyspub
    Compared to UCF's conference schedule it is tough. There really isn't and shouldn't be any comparison, but because of the antiquated nature of the NCAA divisions, where one division had bowls rather than a playoff and therefore didn't really need quality control, we are stuck with the silly idea that UCF 'deserves' to get a coveted playoff spot because they could beat all of the various crap they have on their schedule.
  18. rickyspub
    What they have accomplished is moving the needle in a silly direction. People are now acting like just adding Florida to the schedule would somehow legitimize them as nationally relevant. It is bad enough the SEC gets treated like royalty for playing less P5 teams than any other conference, but now UCF deserves a pass for adding one decent P5 team to an otherwise completely shit schedule.

    Someone has to try and get the victim to 'comply' after the fact.

    The point is the idea that BYU or BSU somehow increased overall interest in college football with their Cinderella seasons. I don't see any proof. When Texas came back and was relevant, we moved the needle in a big way. Our national title is still one of the most watched college football games. Bama regularly tops the charts on viewership. UCF's games barely register along with BYU and BSU games. If UCF getting a chance to make the playoffs and it increases there attendance, so what? How has that in any appreciable way increased overall interest in college football? It is less than a rounding error.
  23. rickyspub
    So basically you are saying that if a team wins a big game they will get fans in the seats...well, duh. What about all the other G5/Independent programs? Did Idaho see a huge uptick in fan support after the BYU win? What you are talking about is ultimately noise.
  24. rickyspub
    Who's still talking about it? Bama and SEC fans are certainly talking about how much they have dominated the MNC over the past decade, if not any particular game. I imagine most have forgotten that Auburn lost to UCF in a meaningless bowl game last season. Who outside of UT and Boise State fans talk about some bowl game upset with OU? I am UT fan and I hadn't thought about it until LadiesChoice mentioned it. I would imagine we would have seen a noticeable uptick in TV viewers and overall fan attendance in the seasons following those events...otherwise is just some blowhard bullshit.

    Would like to see your evidence for this.
