    I love how this dude says “just do what Georgia did,” then briefly acknowledges that they don’t have anything like the DL talent Georgia has, but says “the point remains.”

    I’m not sure the point actually remains, is the thing. 

    It's just like hitting a 100 mph fastball. It's pretty simple when you think about it.

  2. I don't know that the playoff committee needs to do anything about IU's inclusion. They need to address seeding and strength of schedule in general, but not because of the result last night. Indiana had an unusual season that isn't likely to be repeated very often. They kicked the crap out of everyone except OSU. Even dominant teams can lose on an off night and most have a few close wins. It's almost shocking how well IU played this season given their talent level. They have a couple of 4 stars and a boat-load of unrated guys. They had less talent than the teams they played and won by an average of 21 points. When TCU made the championship game, they had more talent, were loaded with experience and still had several close wins aided by more than a bit of luck. That's a much more likely path to the playoffs than what Indiana did this year. And I'm sure we'll see more blowouts in the playoffs this year. Basically, don't design a system to guard against highly unlikely events. Focus on discouraging OOC schedules consisting of UMass and Furman.

    Seems like with this new portal & NIL system, roster management & retention is a bigger deal more than ever.  It would probably take years if you had as much roster turnover as FSU, OU, & A&M.  Those and others seem to looking forward to substantial rebuilds.  Places like LSU that don't have the cash to keep up with the Joneses might do better with a more developmental conservative approach than star-chasing.  

    LSU is like those characters in a post apocalyptic movie that survive the initial event, but refuse to accept that the world will never be the same. They keep telling everyone how important they were and then get torn apart by a pack of zombies. Except instead of zombies, it's Ole Miss and Auburn.
