But this is the world the SEC and B1G helped create when they carved up old conferences at the whim of ESPN/Disney and Fox. Heck you could argued we started down this road with the ACC raided the old Big East for ESPN money.

In an arms race this what happens. Texas Tech and Utah got left out of the country club, so in a fight for survival they found new ways to bring in money independent of ESPN/Disney and Fox. I don't agree with it and it will hurt college football, but then again I don't agree with conferences selling out their autonomy to the Disney either.

To stop this the SEC and B1G are going have to accept some limits on spending, which mean collective bargaining, salary caps for everyone in college football. They opened the door to this world....now fix it.

LOL...At last ND does something good for College Football.

ND should be mad that ACC football is so bad. All those bad to mediocre ACC teams they played, NC State, Boston College, Pitt, Syracuse, Stanford....did them no favors.

This is how bad the ACC was this year. SMU beat Miami and is the 2nd place team in the ACC. They lost to TCU (9th best in the Big-12) and Baylor (11th best in the Big-12). Pitt who is the 4th best in the ACC lost to WVU (14th best in the Big-12).

I think either BYU or Utah would have rolled the ACC this year, including Miami.

You know the solution to all this is easy.

Playoff week one.

16. USC @ 1. Indiana
9. Alabama @ 8. Oklahoma
12. BYU @ 5. Oregon
13. Texas @ 4. Texas Tech
11. Notre Dame @ 6. Ole Miss
14. Vanderbilt @ 3. Georgia
10. Miami @ 7. A&M
15. Utah @ 2. Ohio State

Now think of the money that would be made, think of the first round matchups we are missing (See Texas @ TT for example). We are going for an expanded playoffs anyway, just make it the top 16 teams and be done with it. Even those 1/16 and 2/15 games would not be easy. Anyone who survives this deserves to be national champion. No one cares about bowls anymore. Just homefield until the final four.

Which conference will Notre Dame Join?

1. B1G
2. SEC
3. ACC
4. Big-12
5. Form their own conference

I choose No. 5. They have always been driven by Irish rage which is why the refuse to join the B1G because they were rejected by them back in the early 20th century. Once angered they will never let it go.

If they form their own conference? Who would they get? Can they pick off disgruntled members of the B1G or SEC? Like Michigan, USC or even Texas A&M? Along with the best in the ACC and Big-12?

Worse they will get TWO teams in.

I hate to agree with ND on this but they are a better team now than Alabama.

And Miami at least beat the mighty FSU...

Well they are bringing up Texas now so...

At least the freshman BYU QB took his hits like a man...

NIL....

Time for people accept the new world order.

Wrong. BYU has a good defense.

In this NIL era people are going to be shocked at how much money BYU has to spend on promoting their mission on the football field.
