If... college football is still hanging on to the up tempo style offense,



Like it or not, I don't see how the up tempo offense isn't the future of football. In five+ seasons from now, how many possible pro style, acceptable coaches could there really be to choose from?

I'd prefer to not run a spread...I mean Oregon hasn't won any titles, they're basically the Bills of college football.

more rule changes favoring the offense (like in 1995) will be needed before the spread will consistently win championships... and i don't see said rule changes happening, at least not anytime soon, the majority of football fans that prefer the spread are the johnny come lately fans who showed up when football started becoming more popular 15 years ago, the core fan base that has been watching for longer than fifteen years still prefers ball control offense and dominant defense or a more traditional pro style passing game with an opportunistic defense... the johnny come lately fans are kind of an unstable element, so i don't see any rule changes being made specifically for their enjoyment, when there's no telling if they'll even be around five to ten years from now ... also, defenses are getting better at defending the zone read and not giving up plays elsewhere, it's only a matter of time before the spread is forced to adapt and change or get left behind.
