    Big realignment stimulator.

    "Of the many recent changes in college athletics, the most transformative — and revolutionary — may be on the way.

    NCAA president Charlie Baker is planning to introduce this week a proposal to create a new subdivision within Division I that grants certain schools more autonomy around policy-making and permits them to compensate athletes in a new and profound way.

    In a letter sent to Division I members, and obtained by Yahoo Sports, Baker outlines a groundbreaking and radical change to the NCAA Division I athletics model, describing it as a “new forward-looking framework.”

    According to Baker’s proposal, schools that choose to be part of the new subdivision — they can opt in or out — are required to meet a strict minimum standard rooted in athlete investment....

    This makes no sense. He has to get to recruiting, assistants and support staff immediately. Glad for him and hope we can land someone as good. 

    Yeah.  It would be hard for him to stay.  He has to be real busy at Nevada the next two weeks until signing day.

    Sure but one spot and that's it. SEC and Big 10 will get 3-4 each year. 

    I calculated a 6/6 model playoff from 1998-2023.  Roughly it came out to 4 SEC teams, 3 Big 10 teams, 4 between the ACC/Big12 and Notre Dame and 1 other.  Obviously the new lineups and schedules and move to 5/7 w/o a Pac would have an impact, but with that caveat, here's how the 2024 conference lineups fared over those 26 years:

    SEC   103 teams, 3.96 per year

    Big 10 88 teams, 3.38 per year

    ACC 49 teams, 1.88 per year

    Big 12 46 teams, 1.77 per year

    Notre Dame 9, 0.35 per year

    MWC 9, 0.35 per year

    2 Pac 2, 0.08 per year

    AAC 2, 0.08 per year

    MAC 2, 0.08 per year

    CUSA 1, 0.04 per year

    Sun Belt 1, 0.04 per year

    I can believe no one used the term "SEC" in the meeting. But they know damn well what's at stake if they downgrade Bama.

    While I don't feel the slightest bit for FSU and their fans, those two backup QBs got a really raw deal. Basically their entire program was sent to the kiddie table because they couldn't score a couple TDs. It's good that there are two of them otherwise one dude would be a college football Buckner/Bartman for life.

    We got the shaft in 2008.  So I can't help feeling for FSU.

    The BCS/Committee has frequently done it to Southwest teams.  Texas in 2008, Okie St. in 2011, TCU in 2014.

    Either Bama should have been left out, or they leave out Washington for Georgia.

    I disagree. If Bama had lost, they would have had 

    1. Georgia
    2. Michigan
    3. Washington
    4. Texas / FSU

    It would have been way easer to justify leaving out a 1 loss Texas vs a 0 loss FSU, and I think they would have done so.

    However, since Bama won - they had to decide whether or not to leave out the SEC champ that just beat Georgia, which was a much harder proposition. 

     

    I don't know what they would have done.  FSU looked really, really bad.  So did Louisville.  Plummer made Case McCoy look like an All-American.

    I’m still struggling with the “conference pride” issue. SEC perfected it and it’s useful for SOS, now SOR blah blah blah. Media cucks blah blah blah. But I can’t root for “Rig 12 teams” this year. And most years. Sometimes a team will earn respect and I’ll support em. But not this blanket amnesty for teams that wish to do us harm. I don’t do SECSEC unless it’s to mock the aggies. That’s over now. We can and should be classy and still have “Texas against the world” mentality. Ain’t nobody gon help us! Nobody ran to our aid when the Japanese bombed the Alamo!  Right? 

    I think anyone who chants SEC-SEC-SEC after we join the conference should lose season ticket privileges.

    Round one I believe it planned to be at the home school of the higher seed....attendance will be fine.   It's the sandwich rounds between those and the finals that will be interesting.

    Quarters on NYD will be fine.  its the semi-finals that are a question.

    ESPN absolutely wants Texas vs Bama. The ratings for that would be amazing.

    Washington vs Michigan would be terrible ratings

    Michigan gets great ratings for some reason.

    They did get unlucky that Florida sucked and LSU was kinda average this year.  They scheduled 2 normally very good P5 teams.

    With Clemson flailing the ACC became the worst conf by far this year.

    their SOS was 55 for a reason

    SOS per Sagarin

    Texas #4

    Washington #5

    Alabama #12

    Michigan #56

    FSU #61

    Georgia #46

    Ohio St. #36

    Oregon #25

    (can't list this without acknowledging Sagarin still has Oregon #2, Penn St. #5, Washington #9 and FSU #10)

    We’re good no matter what happens tonight. We’re in. Bama might need a FSU loss, or maybe an ugly win. Hell, the committee might just outright put Bama in over FSU but it won’t be at our expense.

    Just a dirty Sooner trolling.

     

     

    I think SMU is going to be happy with the Sonny Dykes-for-Rhett Lashlee trade.

     

    That was a situation where Texas beat OU, who beat Texas Tech, who beat Texas. The computers were a HUGE part of it, as well as some coaches choosing to put Texas several spots lower than they probably deserved. OU cashed in all their style points down the stretch and beat Tceh by 70 points or so.

    Leach gave up in the 4th and let his former coach run all over him.  He then followed the screw job to Texas with his ballot in the coaches' poll  I don't understand why so many Surly denizens loved that asshole.

    Yeah. Look, you cant chalk that Louisville performance up to just FSU's defense. Their players were constantly self tackling with plenty of grass in front of them. They couldn't catch. They constantly ran out of bounds for no reason, even when they could have gotten a first down. And of course their QB was... uh ... special. That was just historically bad offensive football. 

    Yeah.  We couldn't believe the UL players running out of bounds in the 3rd and 4th quarters 2 yards short of a first down.  Just NO effort.  And I bet UL wished they had a Case McCoy or Tyrone Swoopes last night!
