Urban just wants to suck away talent form other schools so its harder to challenge Ohio State

Was going to post the same damn thing. AND those guys play in the BRUTAL cold of December and January. It's not like the bowl games for Div I.

Not to mention a few of those "guys who can't handle it" will be playing 20+ games in the NFL (including pre-season) WITH a 53 man roster.

I just don't understand what's with the love fest of TCU.

1) defense mediocre
2) SEC! Ole miss team died when their Best WR was injured
3) recruits/talent isn't there.

He gets trashed because he left the SEC

A few years ago SEC fans participated in a big circle jerk when they knocked off OSU.

Then they decided SEC > NFL

When some dumb arse left SEC they like "what why"

They hate him ever since

The dominant conference comes and goes in cycles. Next few years your conference may be the dominant one. That is if harbaugh stays in Michigan for the long haul and penn state gets back on track; it appears that penn state is attempting to do that. Not to mention Wisconsin and Minnesota

It's been my dying wish for FBS to adopt the FCS playoff model, copy & paste as it is and leave it alone, especially when every conference champion qualifies in that model.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that the NFL plays 16 game regular seasons with 53 man rosters yet Urban is complaining about having 85 guys.

If 8 won't work then have a 6 team playoff, top 2 teams get a first round bye.

He gets trashed for saying dumb shite like this. And stuff like "I almost died from esophageal spasms"

Don't worry. He'll leave OSU within a few years and you'll be here trashing him too...

Crazy how both teams in the FCS Championship both have 1 loss and it's to N. Iowa.

I think 6 is the way to go honestly. Top two seeds get byes just like in the NFL. I think 8 is too many.

Looks like other said the same.
This year TCU and Baylor both likely get in I would think.

frick that noise. What happens when you have 3 or 4 teams with the same record wanting the 8th spot?

4 Team is great like it is.
