    Been looking through the actual news around the commissioner meetings. and leading proposals seem to be:

    16: 5 + 11 - The most likely next format that no one likes but everyone will agree to not sue over.

    16: 4-4-2-2 + 4 - P2 get 4 autos, M2 get 2 autos, 4 at-large - The SEC/B1G proposal, but B12 and ACC aren't ready to grant disproportional autos.

    16: 4-4-4-4 - P4 get 4 autos. - The follow up from 4-4-2-2, the B12 is reluctant to cut out the G5 in the fear that it is next on the chopping block.

    24: 4-4-4-4 + 8 - ACC wants a giant playoff

    ---

    Expansion seems like ass at this point, but it's where decision-makers are heading.  The B12 and ACC are probably right to not accept reality as the middle tier.  I kind of don't like it either as the quality of conferences and teams changes over time, but the 4-4-2-2 format actually make the most sense at this singular moment in time.  16x 4-4-4-4 will put a lot of teams in that don't deserve to be while also blocking teams that do deserve to be.  24 just seems dumb.

    Don't like the idea of 16 teams because I think the overall quality of teams is actually going to decline a bit with the continued reliance on transfers and players not staying in systems long enough to be developed into good college players.

    Way too much dependence on athletic ability and systems that can be picked up quickly.

    I don't get the Bowen hate. 

     

     

     

    For me, it is being hit over the head again and again with how funny he is and yet you just don't see it aside from the weekend update spots.

    This is reactionary nonsense. Obviously nobody expected the ACC champ to be a five loss team. In like 99% of seasons there will only ever be one. Maybe change it so it will always be the P4 champs and the highest G5 champ. Whatever.

    And there is no consistent way to always get 100% great matchups in every playoff game. So the G5 teams get blown out sometimes. Big whoop.

    We had blowouts in the playoffs last year that did not even involve G5 schools. A G5 school didn't lost 65-7 to Georgia.

    Everybody wants to panic and try to do radical change to fix things that are not even problems. The issue was that undefeated teams were getting left out of the post season. That problem is fixed. No deserving team will be left out again. 

    As far as splitting up the divisions into DI FCS, DI G5, and DIP4 well that shit isn't ever going to happen. So until this fantasy comes about I don't see why it is this enormous outrage that a midmajor plays in the playoffs. It happens in literally every other fucking sport. Every once in a while one will win a game or two and it will be cool. But it won't happen often.

     

    Define "deserving" because that very definition seemed to be the issue yet again. Who deserved to be in and who didn't .

    Everyone keeps saying G5

    but there’s a bunch of shitty teams in all the conferences (mostly ACC and big12)

    New playoff should be 6 SEC, 6 big10, 4 from ACC and Big12

    small conferences are their own division and get their own playoffs

    There aren't enough teams period to fill the 12 team play off let along your 20 team play off.

    The problems extend beyond the committee and it goes to unbalanced conference schedules, conferences too damn big, and a selection process that is owned by a fucking network.

    The college model that works at multiple levels is already in place.

    If you don't want that then have the balls to go full NFL model which means 32 teams breaking off, but there is no way to fix this current shit and I basically saw two teams this weekend playing that looked like might belong in this thing and that was Oregon and Ole Miss.  Everyone else was pretty much the same old shit yet again be it OU, Bama, ATM, or Miami. No need to see anymore of that.

    They call it the black hoodie of death and OU slogan is hard to kill. I mean ok, I am expecting a badass second half then.

    If you have ever been in the Norman Wal Mart just east of the campus you would see how appropriate the hard to kill moniker is for the Norman area.

    Especially in the area around the aisle with all the cold medication and cough syrup locked up behind glass.  First time I ever saw zombies pushing shopping carts.

    I like selling high on Brito after his AFL performance and I’ve never been a believer in Melton.  
     

    Even if Verlander is coming back, I think we need to add another starter besides Burrows.  

    Wait, Verlander coming back to the Astros isn't some weird Surly kink like Maldonado?
