  1. Like I said as a commissioner or a fan of a team that feels displaced yes it is bad. As a top 8 team that gets into the playoffs with an actual chance to become national champion it works great because if I am ranked in the top 2 I am probably going to play a team that I am going to boat race in the quarterfinals. If I am ranked as 2 of the highest at large bids I get to boat race a team on my way to the quarterfinals. Why would you want to play a real game if you earned those spots whos care about the displaced teams. Don't be one of those teams and we know it sucks since it happened to us in 2008 and a few times when we were #5 as far as the BCS. Still I would hate to be 2005 Texas and have to play a first real game.
  2. Yup but I do think that just like in the NFL if you are the lowest ranked wild card you go play number one then if you are the lowest ranked team going in even if you are one of the conference champions that got a bye you go get to play #1 for your first game.
  3. I do not understand this desire to get rid of the auto bids. If you are ranked in the top 8 and are not a BIG 10 or SEC conference champion you are not going to be left out since the BIG 10 and SEC champions are probably ranked in the top 8. If you are one of the two highest ranked at large teams why wouldn't you want to play a team you can boat race and essentially get a bye week. I don't care about a good game if I am in position to be one of the ones that boat races a team. It only hurts when you are number 9 in the country and get left out. Now I do understand why a commissioner wants less auto bids because it means more money. I just like the idea that every game in conference will still mean something since teams will want to avoid being number 9 and possibly left out. If it is just the top 12 then it becomes 6 from BIG and 6 from SEC once they go to 24 teams. It will start to feel like the NBA. Also, you may have to beat the same damn team again, see 2001. To me the 12 team was genius because the top 8 teams are in the playoffs and who cares who the other 4 teams are that get in since it was never meant to address the top 12.
  4. Jimbo saying George Strait immediately brought this song to mind as it relates to aggy.
  5. Just finished watching ESPN 150 College Football Recruiting from 2019. When describing the recruiting of 2019 as today's recruiting it just feels so antiquated.
  6. Navy had a TD pass with two guys open in the exact same spot only to bump into each other. It is week 0.
  7. Looks like Notre Dame may throw passes for practice purposes but don't need too.
  8. Yea not available on direct tv so streaming with kids account.
  9. Yea when the rest saw his 2023 prediction they mentioned him going there again after last year.
  10. Dammit you pointed out before I caught it and edited while you were probably responding.
  11. Wow we still have someone that thinks that the main dependency as to whether this team can achieve its goals is based on the talent on campus and their development. Aside from injury there is only one thing that will cause this team to fail and that is Steve Sarkisian's inability to rise up to the challenge and not get outcoached during a game. Sarkisian always starts of with a great plan since he has had the chance to sit at his desk and analyze it for hours but his main bingo card line is "The Film" because he sure as hell can't see what coaches are doing to him with adjustments during a game and must look at the film after getting outcoached.
  12. Top 10 colleges that are cults. Guess who is number 1.
  13. Just finished watching and it is screwed up that you can get away with so much as long as you register as a religious school. Also, I thought writing hot checks was a crime.
  14. Anything that gives us the 05 documentary and documentaries on the MNC teams from the 60's is a win. Now since they have no footage from their last one they don't understand how those things are an absolute win.
  15. Two plays were on my mind right before the Vince 4th down. The one above and the one below at 53:41 I thought if those two plays felt so great this play is going to feel incredible with zero doubt it was going to happen.
  16. I am putting my marker down since eventually all the names will come out. It was Crow and his buddy professor that came up with the $50M and Oregon and Washington latched on to the number to delay the contract in hopes of getting to B1G.
  17. He blames the overlords of media at the end of the youtube video for the death of the PAC 12.
