re: We could finish top 10 with a 10 win season and Heisman trophy winner

Jump Ole Miss???
For that to happen PSU has to not just beat Ole Miss, they will need to dominate them. A close game probably won’t move LSU above Ole Miss because of the debacle on 9/30. So I’m not sure I’d take that bet.
On the other hand, PSU will take the field and be...
re: President of NCAA proposes NIL rule change
Posted by DSPurpleandGold on 12/5/23 at 11:21 am
What does this solve?
My best guess it’s a prelude to some sort of salary cap. To do so creates a monopoly that controls wages. But, what about the NFL? They do it so why not colleges?
It works in the NFL because the players who ARE EMPLOYEES are represented by a players union who has hammer...

I’ve seen some dumb ideas, but this has to rank near if not at the top of that list.
In order for a PUBLIC university to manage those funds they must have some sort of control of them. For them to control those funds they would in some way have to become at least quasi-public funds.
Once that...

With this logic applied to the current state of affairs, BAMA gets a bye. FSU doesn’t even though FSU has a better record.

NCAAF playoff system NEEDS to seed a number of teams that is a multiple of 4
Posted by DSPurpleandGold on 12/5/23 at 6:12 am
Think about it. Any number not a multiple of 4 is going to produce seeds given a bye.
One reason given for the “new” 12 team playoff is eliminate the snafu’s like an undefeated team not making it to the championship series.
But, as stated above 4 teams get a bye. Suppose in Round 1 Team A be...
re: The Transfer Portal/NIL Dilemma: Is a salary cap necessary?
Posted by DSPurpleandGold on 12/5/23 at 5:55 am
Since NIL’s are private endorsement agreements between a player and a sponsor the NCAA has zero control of such agreements.
Basically some rich booster says if you play for the school of my choosing for a specified time I’ll pay you $X to appear in a commercial for product Y.

Oh before I forget. FSU beat 2 ranked teams. LSU and Louisville. Louisville beat only 1 ranked team #20 Duke. BAMA beat 4 ranked teams. They beat the last one who happened to be #1 the day before they were selected over FSU due to their lackluster performance against Louisville.
Just the facts…...

Too much to try to digest. Here is a far simpler version that crowns an indisputable champion.

Posted by DSPurpleandGold on 12/3/23 at 6:40 pm
Actually there is no reference to a won/loss record in the CFP selection protocol so it’s only your assumption that their respective records are the only criteria to determine comparable.
Quit apologizing for FSU. Had they won a decisive victory they would have been selected. They played a chitty...

What’s the problem? FSU fans didn’t like the results of the selection protocol that FSU agreed to since they got left out. Now they want to rewrite it so their team that played a shite championship game gets a seat?

Sucks to be Florida State. But, the selection committee got it right.

It’s common knowledge that in college sports whose rankings reflect a team’s trajectory verses body of work rely more heavily on your last performance. If, one is truly interested in the very best playoff matchups this is an entirely correct way to rank them as well.
Let’s face it, the Florida S...

BCS rankings weren’t compromised subjectivity? Bias?
Really?
You do realize that 2/3’s of a teams’s BCS point total came from two human polls? The Harris Interactive Poll comprised 1/3 of the point total as did the coach’s poll. The remaining 1/3 came from computer rankings which the BCS comm...
