  1. Article CFP unanimously approves 5+7 model for new 12-team playoff

    ND doesn’t have to join a conference because they have the magic word - leverage. They have a national fanbase so they don’t have to play the same game everyone else does. They have their own network because they are a bigger brand than anyone else. You, me, and others may not like it but...
  2. Article CFP unanimously approves 5+7 model for new 12-team playoff

    Yep. The polls have been cooked for decades to create the leverage that led to this. The SEC/BIG are good at business. Now, we’ll see the polls even more skewed since the top 12 then 14 matter. The days of the polls allowing a Boise, C8ncy, or GT to slide into the top 10 are over. They’ll...
  3. After one season, how are we feeling?

    I haven’t felt this good about hoops in a long time. We finally hired the kind of coach that will work in Atlanta and attract the AAU players. A former NBA and college star who has a career as a NBA coach. That is how we get local metro talent to look at us. His coaching is fine because...
  4. Article CFP unanimously approves 5+7 model for new 12-team playoff

    Glad to see many waking up but it’s NEVER been results based. If so, why do preseason polls exist because they have zero results based data. It’s like saying the Braves will win the World Series when we’ve all seen it doesn’t work like that. And to follow up, why after week 1 when 65 teams...
  5. Article CFP unanimously approves 5+7 model for new 12-team playoff

    Exactly. We are about to witness things we’ve never seen because 5-12 now matters. It’s going to be another crazy chapter in this sport. The month of November will be like watching 30 cars all coming to pit row with 2 laps left. The difference is which media talking head is better than the...
  6. Article CFP unanimously approves 5+7 model for new 12-team playoff

    Absolutely it’s coming. I just want to get to the day where good teams have a chance for a post season. Sure, under my thinking like in every other sport, the regular season becomes devalued, but that’s how all sports at all levels are run and our society accepts it because that’s the right...
  7. Article CFP unanimously approves 5+7 model for new 12-team playoff

    Name any other sport at any level where winning a division or conference is a prerequisite to becoming the champion? It doesn’t exist and hasn’t existed since MLB only had 4 playoff teams - which took 162 games to determine. I’d personally would love a 50 game college football season over 6...
  8. Georgia - COFH Baseball

    I’m saying it now - there is no way our recruiting drops off at all after Hall leaves. He is a dinosaur. 15 - 18 year old high school kids see him and think of grandpa. If anything, our recruiting will increase because the next guy won’t have a lifetime contract and will actually have to...
  9. Article CFP unanimously approves 5+7 model for new 12-team playoff

    When will you guys accept the simple fact that Notre Dame is a one team conference. I don’t like it either but I’ve accepted the reality. They’ll get in the playoffs in any year they are decent because they are the largest national fanbase and have their own network. The playoffs are a TV...
  10. Article CFP unanimously approves 5+7 model for new 12-team playoff

    ”if it’s what they are doing“ - how anyone today can use the word “if” just shows how deeply they have distorted the sport when even fans of teams in the ACC can say “if”. And to the earlier poster - of course the SEC and BIG would set the starting point of negotiations at 4. When the ACC...
  11. Conference Realignment

    Yeah, I remember when the ACC came together and had a press conference with all the AD’s. And then of course who could forget the boycott of bowl games. A contact page? That’s outrage? That’s a joke.
  12. Conference Realignment

    There was no need to suppress those teams at that time because it didn’t matter. Now that it matters you’ll see if you pay attention. I can’t wait to see the whining when you guys see it in action.
  13. Conference Realignment

    In what world are you living in where you saw pushback? Unless your definition of pushback is a couple of stories on ESPN followed by puff pieces on Bama and Harbaugh. Maybe you consider a worthless tweet by a commissioner as pushback. The ACC got rolled and cemented 2nd tier status. That’s...
  14. Conference Realignment

    You guys aren’t seeing that the entire paradigm has changed, yet you are using old thinking. They will get in whatever teams they want in. Throwing records around is a fools errand and is no longer a variable. Just ask FSU. Yes, teams with 2-3 losses will get in because they will simply rank...
  15. Conference Realignment

    What Notre Dame knows is as long as they are decent the TV networks who carry the playoffs will want them in. That’s all that matters. Conferences do not matter to ND. That way of thinking is over. Just be decent and ESPN will control the polls and narrative to get them in.
  16. Conference Realignment

    Not really. ESPN or whatever network bids for the games will just manipulate the polls to get ND in. What many posters have yet to grasp is the polling system dictates all of it and the SEC/BIG/ESPN triumvirate have controlled it for years. It‘s a total sham system. It’s why you won’t see a...
  17. Georgia State

    Wow. Glad I tuned in on the app. This team so far is freaking fun to watch.
  18. Article CFP unanimously approves 5+7 model for new 12-team playoff

    I won’t disagree with that. I already know but if it’s going to take the rest of you another 4-5 years of data to see what is happening then no problem. The train is at full speed so no stopping it now. All we can do is sit here and watch it unfold. I give the SEC/ESPN/CFP triumvirate...
  19. Article CFP unanimously approves 5+7 model for new 12-team playoff

    I hear you and that is great analysis. But you are bringing up examples from times where the rankings didn’t matter much. We are in an entire different era where being ranked 12th is just as important as being ranked 1st. And the committee’s ACTIONS, not words, have shown us what they are...
  20. Article CFP unanimously approves 5+7 model for new 12-team playoff

    Forensic, you do you and I’ll do me. To come on a message board and give someone a tongue lashing I’ll just never understand. This is all in fun. We aren’t solving anything here. I have never ignored nor will I ever ignore anyone because I love everyone’s opinions. None of us are wrong. We...
