After the Georgia/TCU bloodbath from not too long ago, I doubt TV is going to want to televise Georgia vs. Incarnate Word anytime soon. And why would anyone wanna watch it if they did? Levels lots of people don't care about. Easier to deal with blowouts if the only fans are the people in the...

Would you settle for excluding them from the CFP but allowing P4 teams to schedule a game against them, kind of like how it was with FCS teams during the BCS era? You could play one per year and they got the nice payday from it, but everyone knew they weren't competing for the same post season...

I think this is what you were alluding to that I asked about earlier. Yeah, it can get interesting. When you already made millions it might be tougher to humble yourself. And some of these multiple transfers...that means for most of college you always had someone telling you they were...

Yes you did. Wrong. Quotes from coach, a player, and the GM.

I think I get where you're coming from, but I don't necessarily agree with the conclusion. It's not that Alabama will be more entertaining than a G5 team, it's more so that people like me perceive it as inviting minor league teams to the MLB playoffs. Only the big dogs should get to compete...

While true that they will eventually get curb-stomped, in the meantime they are taking the bye away from a team that is truly top 4 but had to step aside for Boise State.

Yeah, as much of an SEC fan as I have been, eventually the conference will settle and we'll figure out who their versions of Purdue and Nebraska are, and then recruiting will fall off in those schools for a better shot at the playoff at a school in a different conference.

Is this guy not even considering his home state school? That would be awesome.

"Fair point", but can you name a position group (outside of special teams) that doesn't have a lot of transfers? Heck, I think the article even states they drafted a transfer TE. Our RB room has been DT and transfers lately. Almost all of our WRs are transfers and probably 40% of our...

I think you're more than "half" agreeing with me. ;) In all good debating spirit, I think the prima donnas are the ones taking the $10M and wanting to just focus on football. But we'll see if we ever get one. And no, I'm not counting Koi - he didn't cost anywhere near $10M.

That's not what I meant. I was talking about time away from practice. PJ expects volunteer work and such, boosters expect more football stuff.

I think you're underestimating the amount of control players now have. I think everything you said is true. I also think it's unrealistic because no $10M player is going to want to deal with the "outside of football" responsibilities the players under PJ have.

I disagree. The people coming up with the $10M in NIL for these types of QBs...they are paying them to win football games, period. Not to wave goodbye to a female hockey team or to go volunteer in the community. If I was ponying up the money for that QB, I'd be pissed if he was out...

I don't think it'll work on bigger stages. Do you think these top QBs asking for at least a mil per season are gonna put up with his schtick? High-end 3 stars and a few 4 stars will, and that's what he's doing it with at MN. I guess I'd say, "good luck" at getting that $10M michigan QB or...

Thanks for the clarification, especially the bolded. Hard to defend that one, maybe the only possible *reasoning* would be Travis was the star of the team whereas Beck was just an average player among lots of NFL talent. But still, the optics look bad.

I could get behind this, except for what @Panthadad2 had said - the conferences aren't close enough in talent. Boise State probably would be a 7-8 win team in the B1G yet they get a first round bye?

Nah, I think it's more that people don't wanna watch teams like Boise St. cruise to a first round bye every year while SEC and B1G teams have to bust their asses to win their conference. Plus, even the ACC commissioner said it's better for the sport, even though it's not better for the ACC. It...

Wasn't Georgia the two seed anyways? As for the other bolded, interesting you bring that up, since most on here did not agree with Florida State being left out 2 years ago when Jordan Travis went down. I can't recall where you stood on that, but most of the board felt like FSU should have...

I'm with you. They mention, "what he's built at Minnesota" and they offer his career winning percentage at MN - so I'd say they are looking at more than just 2024. Also agree on the losses you mentioned. I might add 2019 Iowa, as if we win that we win the west and Fleck would look better, and...

I'd prefer if they were more like the original Bash Brothers, McGwire and Canseco.
