  1. Not that we can trust FCB but this notion of bowl tieins for the playoffs is the same common sense proposal many of us in this thread have brought up. I've been fervently against byes, but if this is the direction this seems like a reasonable way to accomplish making the (top) bowls important, making sure every team has a shot at the title, and adding weight to conference championships. Lets get it done.
  2. some people just like to overcomplicate things, seems pretty simple to me as well . can always extend it more later as well if there is demand
  3. time to take out the only award in the hall of champions ?
  4. thats a fair point doing the math - 8 team playoff you get 4+2+1= 7 playoff games - 16 team playoff you get 8+7= 15 playoff games so either 7 or 15 playoff / bowl games get playoff tieins where the players will be more inclined to not opt out , increasing the importance of bowl games whatever second rate teams and bowl games from there for the also rans can continue as they already do today as for getting sponsors in line it should be pretty simple "do you want a playoff tiein and more money, or should i give this offer to another bowl game"
  5. and all of them would profit more from having their bowl game be a playoff tie in instead of having some shit game like fresno vs umass.
  6. however large we go: fuck bye weeks, the last thing some team like alabama needs is another advantage. re more games ruining bowls, i don't get this at all. work the new playoff games into various home games and bowl games, and boom solve 3 problems at once including the ones with kids dropping out of bowl games.
  7. Saw a rare interesting post on 247 , does anyone think ESPN could give OU+Texas the ND treatment with the ACC for a semi-independent schedule ? This would doom our hangers on as well as let us play more games of our choosing. 6 ACC Games OU Rotating In state Texas School 4 interesting OOC games
  8. Question two, after your bad decision above do you correct it again in overtime with a chance to win or do you tie the game and hope Rattler fucks up to hand you a win?
  9. There's nowhere for him to go up, he beat a ton of records and won a championship. time to cash in.
  10. Its also an indicator of the type of culture Sark wants to instill at Texas, this is a BFD
  11. Surly there will be much hand wringing over the hires.
  12. It doesn't make any sense to me either, but its surly to happen
  13. Any info we have a RB coach in mind in the case Drayton follows Urban to the NFL ?
  14. Good way to rack up extra cash with all that rolling buyout money
  15. Speaking of building up teams, how is Tulane rarely on the build up list ? Great road game, academic prowess, some decent history, and sits in the middle of a recruiting hotbed. If we're thinking investments this seems like a good one. I'm not convinced we need more football power, we need re-use the fuckery of the SEC scheduling until it stops being an advantage to boost our numbers.
