  1. It would be funny if everyone just said fuck notre dame. the TV money for Big ten and SEC and Big 12 isn't going to be affected. only the ACC and NBC is really affected.
  2. no, they didn't want to rank Duke over JMU. I was actually hoping for that for the lulz.
  3. yep. the loss column "barrier" shrinks as the season progresses. you can drop 10 spots for taking your first loss when everyone is 3-0.
  4. as a fan I care for historical records, top 10, bow wins, I just realize it won't be best on best and won't be comparable with the 2 teams as they existed during the season.
  5. maybe the ND band and cheer can play some flag football against another team's band and cheer.
  6. the portal/unlimited transfers helped to kill the bowl games as well. sure you'd have a couple guys sit out for the draft and they were usually key guys but now your backups are gonna be out as well.
  7. Miami is a prefect example. we have 2 wins better than any of Miami's wins and they lost to 2 unranked teams, one at home. My guess is aggy is going to win that game. Beck is a choker.
  8. burrow imploding...
  9. agree that this is what Sark wants. not sure what players will care.
  10. for years I was telling people the answer was 64 teams, reconfigured for some balance. 8 team divisions 4 conferences. 16 team playoff. It was so obvious that you knew it wouldn't happen.
  11. sure some of it. but he said it was good for college football to have these games. he was damn adamant about it and talking about leaning into it. I just can't believe he doesn't know how SOS and loss column work. H2H is the only thing that might matter in breaking a tie. these morons on the committee don't even know how to work a computer much less respect it. They only care about losses because you know it is something that happened on the field. the number 1 and 2 teams in the country all year had SOS's in the 30's or 40's most of the year. I do realize that the tOSU and I believe Michigan games were scheduled before CDC.
  12. yes the article from February. which I knew was from February. I do not expect our AD to make such a powerful statement about the importance of those games to college football and then backtrack just because of one season where it didn't work out and the game cost us the playoffs. I would hope he is more farsighted than that and didn't think that a committee full of AD's/coaches, etc that hate Texas was going to ignore a loss to anyone. He has to know how the loss column works for near on 90 years. He can't be that stupid and I know he isn't.
  13. It is quite amazing to see in real time. Hell, an SOS of 50+ is getting you a bye. Texas at the Ath Dept level has never really been violently serious about national championships in football. we fuck around a lot and treat football as a nice to be good and have good kids that graduate. Football helped fund other sports to have even more good kids who graduate. no one gets too upset. We'll see if that changes. There is a reason coaches say Texas is a top 2 or 3 job in college football. Sark's seat is as cool as can be. He'll make 1 coaching change with akina because he needs to be pasture-ized. some day maybe we will get really serious. I mean can you imagine Ryan Day surviving TWO 50 POINT assblastings to Michigan?
  14. oh shit, Mack Brown clone engaged.
  15. I think ND will want to keep our games. They can adjust their schedule around it.
  16. It is crazy that we wouldn't just schedule tomato cans when we will never have an SOS less than probably 25. teams with SOS in the 40's and 50's get in. we can play teams as good as tOSU, Mich, ND, Clemson, etc in Dec.
  17. exactly. CDC is already on record saying the Big OOC games are good for the sport and we will continue to do it, if not even lean into it.
  18. I think they all suck and we are better than all 3 of them.
  19. the only upside is Sark can get started figuring out who he is going to replace Flood and Akina with.
  20. nope. If Miami had lost to ND the ACC would have had no representative.
  21. an unbalanced bracket shows even more how stupid this is. They don't even take SOS into account for that. I think Oregon got the best draw all things considered.
  22. It is as simple as this. Bama and Miami were out last year. they are in this year.
