Yeah, would have been great seeing Arkansas in the playoffs this year. They were undoubtedly better than Pitt, Ohio State and Oklahoma St.

They had a great defense just like last year. They also had a really good offense unlike last year. That's how they had so much success and they did it without overwhelming talent. I guess I just don't buy into all of their offensive success being because of a few generational guys when there is...

In 2017 they had Kelly Bryant at QB, a true freshman Etienne at RB, and a 6th round draft pick as their leading receiver and they finished 14th in offensive efficiency and made the playoffs.

Gotta say the irony of writing off Tony Elliott as a bad coach because of one tough season but at the same time wanting Chip Long to be our new HC if Collins doesnt turn things around is rather humorous.

If he were actually interested in coming here and we could get him for a reasonable price then we would be idiots not to do it.

I agree with nearly all of this except the bolded. Once a guy chooses a school, struggles to get playing time, and chooses to transfer, then you know more about him. Those types of guys have already been a miss elsewhere. I don't think you can expect them to be a hit at the same rate as guys of...

Auburn had a pretty good coach and was recruiting top 10-15 classes for most of that time frame (since 2015). That got them 3 wins over UGA and Bama in 14 games. Tennessee consistently recruits in the top 20 with some top 15 classes. They have won 2 out of 14 games against UGA and Bama with many...

On offense, its hard to argue against that. On defense, it's not really true. CPJ had more 4 star defensive recruits in his first 4 classes than CCG did, and more Rivals top 250 players than CGC did. CGC certainly raised the level of the 3 stars though. Overall our floor is a bit higher. Our...

ND makes less money as an independent. https://notredame.rivals.com/news/friday-five-notre-dame-and-the-latest-wave-of-conference-realignment

I guess my point is, there is no path. You celebrate the 2020 class, which you should. We had four 4+ star recruits. Clemson had 17. UGA had 19. That path is going nowhere. We will need a really good coach who can recruit in the top 10-15 consistently at Georgia Tech. A coach that likely doesn't...

So you think the Tier 2 teams will all let the Tier 1 teams take all of the big money from college football, which they will funnel into other sports and will continue to play those teams like nothing changed?

Im not trying to say recruiting isn't important, it obviously is, I just don't like the use of Clemson and UGA as barometers. These are National Championship caliber teams most recent years. CPJ didn't stop competing with them because his talent fell, he stopped competing with them because they...

If the proposed tiers ever came to pass (they won't) then we will lose many rivalries. This would apply to all sports as well. Those who think we could possibly do this for just one sport are kidding themselves.

You are overblowing the 2020 class. It finished 27th with 4 four stars. Consistent classes at that level are not going to get us close to Clemson or UGA even if we have one of the best gameday coaches in the country. We need them to come back down to earth a bit. Hopefully last year was the...

What is the definition of can afford to compete financially? Do you set an arbitrary number on expenses? What if several teams after that decide to dedicate more resources to ensure their place in tier 1?

How do you create tiers based on NIL money then? Who would even create it and how would they have access to the data about NIL spending?

Not really sure about that. When prominent donors publicly say: It sure sounds like Geoff going down means Todd is going as well.

This. I can't say im super excited about the season but I am excited that we will either get better or move on. The program feels like it is stuck in a dark hole right now.

They are all cheating. Claiming that Bama is the ultimate cheater and that is why they built a dynasty doesn't pass the smell test. If buying players is all that matters, A&M and Texas will be the two best teams in the country soon and it won't be all that close.

Alabama was the only team in the country who knew how to pay under the table and that was the only reason for all of their success? Ok.
