Well, let's see, making plans to hire/negotiating with those still under contract might be considered a breach of fiduciary duty, or the duty owed an employee to employer. And potentially also tortious interference with contract, once no longer employed.

The problem is not the playoff format (although I don’t like the concept at all). The problem is these mega-conferences which create scheduling imbalances inherently. It’s a problem colleges made for themselves. In a pre-2024 world: - The SEC West has sorted out Ole Miss, ‘Bama, and A&M with one team going to CCG and maybe one an outside shot at an at-large. - The PAC-12 is looking to send one of likely Oregon and USC. - The ACC’s best team in Miami is heading to a CCG and not at home due to scheduling weirdness. Or is just out and two teams that won divisions are in. - The Big XII has whittled down OU, Texas, Tech, and BYU to two or max three. But as I’ve said, the playoff was a solution to a problem that only existed in the hot takes of sports talking heads. And at this point we spend all our energy trying to fix the playoff at the expense of all the stuff that made CFB great like regional rivalries, fun OOC games, battles for conference bragging rights, mid-major interest and engagement, etc. Bass-ackwards.

I have no doubt Bama will play Georgia close enough that a loss won't be a problem. The easiest thing to do will be for the committee to say Florida loss kept us out and point out our SOR is not in top 10. when we all know it is just the loss column number. the BYU winning conundrum would be hilarious though. Going to 16 is problematic because the committee wants byes to keep conf champ games more relevant when both participants are obviously in like Indiana/OSU. G5 playing #1 team is also a much lower chance of pulling an upset. now they play #5.

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?

They're waiting for Venables to finish his season. -
that, and blowing by that shit-talking dipshit Will Lee to get to the end zone. So last year Lee got hurdled by Gunnar Helm and this year Arch turned on the jets to outrun him.

Is Penn State trying to find the next child molestation enabler or what? What is their hold up? Franklin was fired October 12th. -

I agree that it’s misguided, but I believe he was arguing for a 10 game SEC schedule to reduce the imbalance between SEC schedules. I think that divisions are a better way to accomplish that. -

Doubt it works but what if Georgia punks Alabama 42-7, giving Bama a third loss and an ass kicking greater than 35-10? I know the committee says no punishment for CCGs but I mean the pirate code, it’s more guidelines than strict rules. They can do what they want. -
You lost me here lol

in 10 years kids will look at michael jordan’s stats and say, “deni avdija used to do that every night, who cares?” seriously. wtf is happening with the most random players dropping video game numbers every single night? his stat line is only partially explained by his insane 19/22 ft/fta line.

WTF did I watch last night. Good lord this show is weird.

Minus the 'she's got an ass like a 12 yo boy" line, 100%. I've always wondered how that got past the table read. I mean, Bill Paxton's Simon character was written to be a slimy loser, but they went full Sandusky w/ that bit.

BYU fell down 14-0 to 3-9 clown car Colorado in Boulder and ended up winning that game by a FG with the game in total doubt until the very end. BYU needed 10 points in the last four minutes to force overtime against Arizona and then needed double OT to win. BYU was down 24-10 late in the first half against also ran Iowa State. BYU was down 14-0 to 5-7 UCF at home two days ago. We can play the lol close call/we looked shitty conference game all day long. I think the Big 12 is a pretty good league this year. I don’t really think BYU should be “punished” for losing to Tech this week while 95 percent of the rest of the teams sit home, but BYU’s current resume doesn’t scream no doubt Top 10 team to me with its best win being a top 15ish Utah in Provo. -

My opinion is that the playoffs beyond the top 6 seeds need to be truly picked as teams that have a legitimate shot at making a run. Texas is 1 conference win away from being a home playoff host and potentially having a bye week. They are also 1 conference win away from complete irrelevance. The parity this year is higher than ever before and that's what is keeping Texas as a bubble or first out team. There just isn't a reason to give auto bids to anyone. -
Here, have some Trump merchandise for playing along.

Are you saying he should have quit his team weeks ago? He did the right thing.

It's precedence vs common sense in the decision to include Texas. Does the committee value the beauty contests of the bygone era or is it ready to break the mold and usher in a new model suitable for playoffs? I hope they choose the future but I won't be holding my breath. Also agree that conf championships will also affect the final selection.
