  1. Other than the long screen play of 66 Yards UF isn’t much better: 14 of 21 for 111
  2. Miami’s passing yards right now: 158 First drive had them 4 for 4 for 43 Yards on screen plays. Since that drive it’s just 115 Yards. Not exactly opening it up
  3. I’m not so sure on that given their SEC tv deal and the SECs added bowl tie in as a part time Orange Bowl option in addition to the Sugar Bowl. That said if they started winning big their ticket, donation, merchandising, and other rights would go up in all likelihood.
  4. Arkansas most of those since not moving keeps them perpetually chasing Bama, Auburn, LSU, and to a lesser extent aggy with less recruiting ammo to keep up. Nebraska wasn’t really a TX dependent program even in the Big 12. Mizzou clearly benefited from it in their resurgence under Pinkel.
  5. JMU offers more than many CUSA or Sun Belt schools. I expect the AAC to stay at 11 but JMU is one to watch.
  6. Got the right league but the Patriot League is D1-FCS. Has schools like Bucknell, Lehigh, Holy Cross, Colgate, and Boston U. Army is in there too which is why the addition of the Knights might happen if there is interest from Army. Unlike an all-sports addition they don’t have to find somewhere to park non-football if either they or the AAC don’t like bringing those sports over.
  7. Game was won in the red zone. Bama- 10 points in 4 trip not including a trip to the 22 clemson- 31 points in 5 Trips. ballgame right there

    THE EXCUSE

    2018 UGA same story as 2006 Michigan. Media says... ”clearly the second best team!” ”give us a rematch!” They then get curb stomped in their bowls
  9. To be fair he was he guy who initially rebuilt OkState from the ground up. He’s known for his LSU days but he wasn’t left with much in Stillwater yet brought in the Woods brothers, Tatum Bell, Darren Williams, Vernand Morency, Kevin williams, and others turning them into a consistent bowl team before he left after 4 seasons. Obviously it’s hard to predict him doing well at KU as the Big 12 is deeper, the spread has taken over, and he’s going to a job where there is even less likelihood of a turnaround.
  10. Yeah the exchanges between the coaches is great. You’ve had some fun ones and even if the game goes bad that adds some interesting content.
  11. Pretty much. The added TV revenue you’d maybe get from a move weighed against the additional overall revenue from more playoff bids makes the raw math murky even before exit fees, added travel expense, and tv network buy-ins are factored in.
  12. At least one of those teams and an unbeaten Boise team would be forced out by a 4 loss pretender. That’s a flaw
  13. All that my recommendation does is simply removes the automatic part of automatic bid if the loss criteria is met. A selection committee can still consider key injuries and give that slot to the same team as an at-large should there be a compelling argument. It simply gives them an out when it’s clearly not a top challenger regardless of injury.
  14. Take the teams that earn a spot without taking 3+ losses if you want to mold the rules to encourage scheduling up then find a way to do it that doesn’t screw over the most deserving teams. Such as P5’s must play kat least 9 or something
  15. You’ve selected the rarest circumstance. Basically you are asking for a severe minority of the two leagues playing 8 conference games who aren’t playing anyone in noncon. Virtually all of those leagues plays at least one P5 so at most it’s a two P5 gap in 90% of outcomes. Rather than working in theoreticals, find a real world example of a 3-5 loss “champion” with 9+ P5 foes that would clearly be getting screwed by a team that played 4 non-p5’s (only 8 P5 games or ND or BYU) and lost twice or less that didn’t win their league and most observers would agree the 3-5 loss team is clearly superior.
  16. The gap between any of the P5’s isn’t big enough to justify letting team that lost 25-33% of its regular season in. Even in a trash year 13-0 or 12-1 P5 team is better than the team going 10-3, 9-4, or 8-5 in all but the most rare circumstances.
  17. 1- Nobody is arguing it’s a bad system- just that making one tweak to the rules would get a better slate of teams. 2- The argument is also that in a season with a deep field of teams with zero or one loss it makes little sense to give a golden ticket to a team who lost four or five times simply because they lucked into a weak division and pulled one upset. Personally I would take all the 2008 one loss P5 champs (4 teams), all three 2008 one loss runner ups, and both 2008 undefeated Utah and Boise from that year before I’d even consider a 4 loss squad champ or not. That’s nine teams. You’re already leaving out someone (probably tech due to 40 point loss) so why screw over a second team that has at least a decent argument like one loss UT/Bama who narrowly lost to good teams once or an unbeaten G5 team like Boise that beat Oregon that year?
  18. In the NBA example you cite it’s a difference of 2.4% of the season. In the example I cite it’s losing 18% more games. The 2008 scenario is the equivalent of an NBA team losing 18 more games than the team they got in over. a simple fix in the rules to avoid such a situation makes sense.
  19. In my scenario both Pitt and NW win and you are left with kicking out two of tOSU, Michigan, Clemson, and UGA. When there is a delta of 2-3 losses I think that’s a bridge too far. usually it will end up with the same field but it prevents a team who sucked for 25+% of their season from sneaking in.
  20. Because I don’t want a 4 loss “champion” like 2008 Va Tech getting in over a 2008 Texas, 2008 Bama, or 2008 Tech style runner up that won all but one game. One would be left out in favor of a team that at best won 67% of its regular season. Those other games matter too.
  21. I like the basic idea of autobids for the P5 champs and top ranked G5. only recommendation I have is eliminate it if they lose 3+ games. No need kicking a one loss team to the curb because 3 and 4 loss teams get fluke wins in a year where their division iso weak. This year you could have had UGA and michigan kicked out because Pitt and NW won title games despite two or three more losses. The entire season matters and while conference titles are a good tiebreaker you shouldn’t get rewarded for losing over 1/4th of your regular season games.
  22. Losing twice was just one of two bad issues for UGA. The bigger one was getting stomped by 20 in one of the losses. Had it been two losses by 7 points UGA’s margins vs OU erode considerably. also SEC and ACC teams only play 8 league games so scheduling 2 out of conference merely brings them level with the three P5 leagues that usually play 9 and schedule one.
