All P-5 conference champs make the playoff. They other three are chosen by computer rankings, not a bunch of people sitting at a hotel at DFW.
All P-5 conferences play the same amount of games against other P-5 teams.
All P-5 teams play the same amount of conference games.
Let the first round be at the home of the top 4 seeds.
The stadium officially only has 80,000 permanent seats. I don't know why ESPN has the official capacity at 100,000 except for the time Jerry built temp seats all over the place to beat the Super Bowl record. We all know how that turned out.
And Yes Cowboy Stadium is not a good college venue. Too expensive and too sterile.
I don't know how we did it, but we won again with a 3rd team QB. OSU is one strange team. Should have massacred us, but they took too long to get going. I guess we go to the Liberty Bowl or Cheeze-It Bowl.
I said our young OL and QB would probably be the difference in the game, and unfortunately that was the case. TCU still played hard against a very good team. Just can't turnover the ball that many times and expect to win.
Fuente was at TCU for three years when Del Conte was the AD. So they do have a history together. He is a winner. He would be my first pick if Gary retired. He I think should be at the top of your list if a change is made.
I believe he will wait more than one game before firing Herman. Since this is his first football season in Austin, he will evaluate the program and make suggestions where it can and should improve. If it can't be fixed, he will look for another coach. Personally I think you are just a QB away from being a pretty good team. Why you haven't had one for a number of years is puzzling.
The only thing OSU is trying to do here is take the heat off themselves. It is backfiring. Sally Jenkins had a great article in the Washington Post about this whole mess. She mentioned how in Meyer's last six year at Florida he had 30 players arrested. What a great guy.
You've got to question Urban Meyer's sanity for keeping a guy like this on his coaching staff so long. Would you want Zach Smith coaching your son? The guy is certifiable.
