  1. We don’t need AI for that, the math and formulas have always been there. The real issue is that sports guy talking heads, conference reps, and fans will not like doing it that way and will melt down when the math doesn’t work their way.
  2. I think that byes need to remain in the format, and that’s as someone who wants to leave a G5 team in. That’s the FCS and DII standard. I don’t need a PO to tell me IU beats Duke. True last thing anyone needs is an OT falling on Mendoza’s ankle and ending their run early in a game against Duke or JMU. The process needs to be put on hold a bit with the exception of the weekly release. Let things work for a while. These massive demands for overcorrection are emotional and pointless. In five years, after IU, OSU, or UGA hoists the hardware, everyone will see how silly it would be to change everything just so a few multiple loss teams could get an extra game and a “CFP Participant” ribbon.
  3. The blind bit is a good tweak, too. You can hand them blind resumes with a star for the conference champs and say they have to include five of them for the final pool.
  4. I’d do a week nine and a final reveal. But your solution is fine.
  5. There is a three loss team in this year and was last year too. If the field goes to 24 I GUARANTEE there will be the best 8-4 SEC team bitching about getting bumped. The worst part about the playoffs is teams with multiple losses, sometimes to the same opponent, huffing like they’re 2003 USC or 2004 Auburn getting left out of the NC shot. We have actually solved that problem.
  6. Yeah, if we aren’t doing the weekly check-ins there is some grumbling but not full-bore meltdowns. The final pool is justifiable and defensible— but the committee had to make some WTF individual movements week to week to get here.
  7. Tucson is like over a hundred miles from Phoenix man. Granted its got heat, but its a real different vibe than Phoenix as a big college city.
  8. He was only ever a WR coach and he struck out to get his own HC job in 2010, when Saban was still just a great coach and not the GOAT. He wasn’t one of Saban’s anointed assistants, just a journeyman assistant who had done some good work there and at NCST.
  9. Franklin continues to kill it, hiring VT’s former HC to be DC again. Really amazing stuff and IMO speaks to the coach and the institution that Pry wants to stay around. VT closed out with at top 25 class, btw.
  10. lol letting retired football coaches and writers do the selection is a terrible idea. Hot take: a bunch of nerds who don’t watch football. Give them the principles and the advanced metrics they are allowed to consider and then have them do a 1/done selection meeting. Far better than letting Mack and RC Slocum pick.
  11. Those playoffs work well because the NCAA regulates them and does enforce a bit of equity to keep the divisions afloat. In FCS, every conference with six or more gets an auto-bid (11) and the remaining 13 are at large. Ironically it is the money that makes it possible, the stakes aren’t as high for getting left out and the fans aren’t as insane. They also play fewer OOC games and have real conference champions. College football boards and talking heads would melt down with a similar format for FBS even though it would really be the way to do a PO that was best for the sport. There is a loud, ESPN driven contingent that strongly believes the game will be better when about 40 teams play in two leagues with players as perpetual free agents. Maybe so, but I will contend that it’s not a sport I recognize as college football.
  12. Took my girls, they liked it and I thought it was poop from a butt. One distracting thing is that the love interest for both the witches is clearly super gay and plays the role that way. To the point I was expecting it to be a plot point for him to end up with a guy. Obviously plenty of leading men in Hollywood have been gay and played straight heartthrobs successfully but it’s just super distracting in this movie because he very clearly does not like women.
  13. I think that you can’t tie NIL to actual playing football which is just another example of how incredibly dumb this game has gotten.
  14. It was actually fine and better, it was awesome to win the Cotton Bowl back when there wasn’t a Kirk Herbstreit to tell you it didn’t really matter.
