Yeah I kind of lost respect for this accomplishment when I saw several kids in our troop getting Eagle by 8th grade.

With your knowledge of today's job environment, what would you recommend to an 18 year old? What would you personally do?

Figure out which profession best matches your aptitude and passion and pick a major that gets your foot in the door to that profession.

I do not recommend doing what I did and pick a profession based on pay with little interest. You may have a successful career but you won't be happy with your job and likely won't fulfill your potential.

If you are the best at what you do you will figure out how to make good money doing it. If you're not passionate about it; you will never be the best at what you do!

They followed the rules. Notre Dame refusing to be normal and join a conference along side 7-5 Duke winning the ACC put in two G5 teams.

And they were dumb to write it into the rules. The rules should be altered. They shouldn't get consideration unless they have beaten a team that was ranked in the Top 10 at some point by the playoff committee.

Imagine you are the company custodian, and this hits your lap.

I doubt it works that way. From my experience it may avg $440,000 per employee but the bonus will still be heavily skewed towards the management team vs the non management work force.

The company custodian will get a relatively nice bonus but I seriously doubt they are getting anything close to the avg bonus.

Yep. The second OU shite the bed in the Fiesta Bowl, losing on two of the greatest trick plays in history, people started saying G5 schools could hang with the big boys.

And the problem with pointing to bowl games in the BCS era is they completely discount to give a shite factor by the team who's championship dreams have vanished and they are playing a team that's hard to get excited about.

How come no one points out all of the G5 upsets are at a meaningless exhibition game and not in the regular season when both teams have something on the line.

Yeah because they had so many shots at the top prize before they expanded the playoff.

That’s more than any regular season game in any other sport and more than most playoff games in most other sports. Which is why this thing will keep expanding. 6 million live viewers is one of the most valuable tv products in existence

Yeah but if you compare that to the other two games you will see why G5s don't belong. They basically lost 20 MM viewers. Just proving that no one gives a shite about G5s except for the media trying to create the controversy.

I think has more to do with that state to west of us that has a population of 32 MM and a new found love for crawfish!

They just blame it on all the other factors to make it look like it's strictly on the supply side.

You know that whole supply and demand thing!

personally do not like any sauces with my steak but my in laws are psychos and like their steaks well done so I am trying to find a sauce that will help the dryness that comes with a well done steak.

Why do you need a sauce? Do they typically put a sauce on their overcooked steaks? If not, just recognize that's how they like their steaks. Let eat the fry overcooked meat if that's their preference.

My wife is in the same category as your in-laws. Instead of burning a filet for her she gets hamburger steak and is just as happy!

and with that being the case they won't be in the top 12.

Go look at UCF's schedule from 2017 where the NCAA recognizes them as a co-national champion and get back to me.

Historically, undefeated G5 teams with shitty schedules are ranked high enough to get into the top 10 rankings.

I think, for me, 8 is where it still gets a little dicey with teams that could be legitimate contenders. But I like it better than 4. If they went to 16 teams and eliminated the bye, the timing stays the same. Make the first two playoff games a home game for the higher seed, too. Semis and finals can be neutral sites.

This is where they are headed and it's going to ruin the Army Navy game. My guess going to be 20 teams with four teams getting a first round bye. Here is an excerpt from an article published last week:

quote:
Any expansion beyond 16 teams will require either conference championship games going away or a calendar that pushes deeper into January and further back into the summer.

Truth is anything beyond a 4 team playoff is overkill and even that didn't go well with lots of lopsided semifinal games.

I don't necessarily disagree, but I think it should be 8 teams with conference championships as the first round.

1 G5 team should get in every year in a 12 team playoff. They aren't getting beat any worse than the other P4 teams.

I completely disagree. This is nothing more than everyone gets a trophy mentality. I say this as a fan of a G5 team.

We act like Tulane didn’t beat USC in the Cotton Bowl a couple seasons ago

Here's the problem. We keep pointing to bowl game victories as proof a G5 can compete with a Top Tier P4 team. Go look at how many injuries and opt outs USC had in that bowl game. Then let's talk about the players give a shite factor to play in a meaningless exhibition game against fricking Tulane. Did focus on the game or having fun in Dallas. How much partying did they participate in that week?

Now compare that to a game where they are focussed on realizing their life long dream of winning a national championship.

How come we never point out the Top tier G5 schools beating a Top Tier P4 school? Its always a bowl!

Just give them their own playoff that they realistically have a chance of winning. A G5 will never win a CFP championship. Ever.

Who is supposed to "give" them their own playoff. If they had a worthwhile product that would actually produce revenue then CBS, Fox, or some other network would have already created one. The cold hard truth is no one cares about them to include their respective alumni. Just look at their attendance and viewership ratings.
