1) No expansion, 4 is enough. 2) 8 teams, P5 autobid then top 3

If the first step of your playoff proposal involves flying pigs, then it’s not a serious proposal. revenue generated by the extra playoff games wouldn’t make up for the revenue lost by the schools that had to give up a regular season home game. If 4 or 5 schools from the SEC got in, then 9 or...

I’m only considering proposals that actually have a chance of happening, and a 24 team FBS playoff isn’t happening, no matter how much you wish otherwise. The issue is not whether Alabama could make as much money playing 2 more playoff games instead of a regular season game against Mercer, but...

You have no idea what you’re talking about. LSU had 3 top 10 recruiting classes, including a #2, 5, and 7, in the 4 years prior to their 2019 championship season, and they hadn’t sniffed the playoff in any of those prior years. They’ve been reeling in top classes for years, regardless of whether...

There is no way that a third of any conference makes the playoff or that the loss of a home games income by a school would be made up for by their share of the proceeds from the playoff even if it did. An Alabama home game is worth $15-20M to the school and the businesses in Tuscaloosa, even if...

You think that letting a bunch of 2 and 3 loss teams in the playoff so they can get their asses handed to them by the elite teams that are making the 4 team playoff year after year is going to get elite players to go to the teams who got their asses handed to them instead of the teams that...

The only way all the P5 conferences are represented is to have auto bids for their conference champions, so that will happen. They are not going to risk having half of the playoff from the SEC and leaving out one or more conferences entirely. The rankings will be used to fill out the 3 at large...

The P5 conferences will make sure their conference champions are auto bids, the other 3 will be the highest rated non-P5 champions, unless they throw a bone to the G5 and give an auto bid to the highest ranked G5 team. The Golden Rule applies.

Yeah, when they expanded to 4 teams it really evened out the recruiting, and I’m sure the next expansion will have a similar effect. Those elite players will quit going to places like Alabama and Ohio State and Clemson, places with proven records of winning championships and putting players in...

That’s why it’s so important to expand the playoff, because then those same few teams won’t dominate anymore.

It’s apparent that the Land Thief’s favorite team is paying players too, since they consistently get top 10 recruiting classes, and everybody knows that nobody would go to Norman unless they were being paid. His issue appears to be that they aren’t getting their money’s worth.

My argument is not just that Propst is a lying crapweasel, although he is, it’s that his allegations don’t make sense. Why would Chubb come back for a measly 200k when he could make more than double that in the NFL? And Saban is Paul Jr’s lackey? Sorry, but that’s just stupid. Other than being a...

The reason the NCAA doesn’t give two shits about it is that they do know who Rush Propst is, and knows just about how credible a guy who’s been fired from two jobs for various ethical lapses and is currently being investigated for misappropriating funds from another is. You come and dump a big...

Rush Propst? You think the NCAA is going to come down on Georgia and Alabama for stuff the super honest and credible Rush Propst told some guy in a bar? The guy who owes $400k in back taxes, was fired from a job for lying about his having two families at the same time? Good luck with that. And...

The first rule of holes applies.

Probably for the same reason they don’t put minor league baseball on tv.

I said against other conferences, you’re always going to be .500 against your own conference. What’s important is how you do against other conferences.

No one has had more shots than them, but the ACC has had the same number. The SEC is 10-3 (.769) vs other conferences in the CFP, the ACC is 6-6 (.500), the Big10 is 3-4 (.429), the PAC12 is 1-2 (.333), the Big12 is 0-4 and Notre Dame is 0-1 as an independent (.000). How many shots you have...

I think you mean predictably, not ironically.

I think the Gator dude will have to help you with that.

1998 was the first year of the BCS Championship, it was a 2 team playoff, so yes.

He could just go to the 24/7 recruiting board and check which schools offered those same players, and he’d see that all those top recruits had offers from supposedly elite schools too. If Alabama is a second rate school that can only get these players because they couldn’t make it at the “good”...

The Alabama 2021 class has players from 11 states, including our traditional recruiting areas of Washington, Ohio, Michigan, and Maryland. I don’t think you understand anything about “oversigning” or whether or not Alabama is unregulated. I suspect Nick Saban knows a lot more than you do about...

If Alabama and Ohio State had had the same record that year, you might have had a point.

So? Now best loss is a criteria? More important than conference championship? How things change.
