    Who should be in the 12 team playoffs?

    ISUr is a bit of on oddball, both this season and as a playoff participant generally. Of it's 4 losses, one came to Oklahoma and the other a competitive game to NDSU. It beat three playoff teams, two of which were seeded in the playoffs ahead of it. It plays in the toughest conference in FCS...

    Who should be in the 12 team playoffs?

    So the theory would anti-trust. But anti-trust doesn't prohibit freedom of association, only unreasonable restraint of trade. If a group of conferences decides they are forming their own post season tournament, it doesn't prohibit the remaining conferences to do likewise. It would be...

    Who should be in the 12 team playoffs?

    But what's the theory? Is there a contractual obligation that certain conferences have to the others? I don't see it. The NCAA creates the classification but does not control the postseason. Is it an antitrust issue? If so, why doesn't the same apply to conference affiliation? Or...

    Who should be in the 12 team playoffs?

    Is "better" the subject? Like PJ's change your best? I don't get what sequence the SEC schools are part of though.

    Who should be in the 12 team playoffs?

    What's the legal theory or cause of action? I think the reality is that there are truly only a few teams that are real contenders and the gap between those teams and other highly ranked teams is pretty wide no matter what conference they play in. I used to suggest in an FCS forum that you...

    All Things 2025/26 College Football Transfer Portal Thread

    He has played TE/Receiver as well. Jackson had a QB that probably threw a better ball and Voss has a hand injury two years ago. Also played as a defensive back. I wouldn't be surprised if he stepped right in.

    All Things 2025/26 College Football Transfer Portal Thread

    Even at lower levels it is getting harder to get a look. Both NDSU and SDSU are focusing their portal efforts on productive DII, NAIA and FCS players over P4 transfers who never played.

    Michigan fires Moore

    Alabama has positive net domestic migration. Minnesota, meanwhile, does not. But I digress....

    Would you accept a Michigan-level scandal/mess...

    Absolutely. Moore going off the deep end is sad, it's awful for his family and for the young woman he terrorized. But everything before that - I just generally assume that the coach is laying pipe to someone not his wife, the sign stealing stuff was overblown, etc. It's stuff that goes on...

    Michigan fires Moore

    Criminal statutes and institutional policy are two different things. Not illegal between consenting adults but may violate university policy.

    Official 2026 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    I can't put my finger on it again but last night I saw a clip from the Northern Arizona (FCS - Big Sky Conference) HC. His program has tracked the outcomes for its departing players and a large majority ended up playing fewer snaps at the next institution. I assume most departing players...

    Troy Aikman is ‘done’ funding NIL: ‘Didn’t even get a thank you’

    Really? NIL is a little bit of a platypus but its much closer to being a gift than it is a paycheck. What did Troy get in return? Did the player or players lend their actual NIL to some product Troy was selling? Did they make appearances on behalf of a good or service that Troy markets to...
