FSU. They knew it would be a beat down and showed up.

ND seemed afraid to show up and validate the ranking results if they lost. They caused a lot of young kids, walk-ons, and last year players an opportunity.

No one cares about non-CFP results except for fans of the team and the players, minus opt-outs. ND robbed both groups of an opportunity because of pride.
I do not recommend you make LSU and Kiffin a drinking game during any Ole Miss game in the playoffs
Could save a few more bowl games from irrelevance, even if a 2nd tier title.

Eta: could also remove auto-bids from the CFP equation with a guarantee of auto-bids for them in the lesser tourney. Rank the top 12 in CFP poll and let them play. The rest get a seat in the invitational

besides location, what part of Notre Dame is even close to a cultural fit in the SEC?

Location? South Bend is damn near in Michigan

The Big 12 would roll the red carpet out for Notre Dame

Any conference would. Like them or hate them, they are a known name and household brand
quote:

Nope - it's going to take an at large from SEC/BIG/ACC/B12

No, current rule is top 5 conf Champs get an auto-bid.

This year was weird with an ACC worse than two G5 conferences.

This rule would have bumped JMU out

new bullshite rule that automatically allows them in it they're ranked in the top 12 which screws over a conference champ.

To be fair, it would likely serve to keep a Rent a Win G5 rep out.

It’s at a point now that if Notre Dame stop playing football, who’d even give a shite?

Same could be said for most programs at any level outside of their fans and a generation of their closest rival fan base.

And how is that everyone else's problem?

Who said it was?

Is ND really a "national" brand

Yes

Quitting every post-season when they make the CFPs will kill Notre Dame as a National Brand

This is why UGA was left at 3 - to try to avoid a third game if possible.

Well that doesn't really change when they could possibly meet.

1 and 4 are on one side of the bracket. 2 and 3 are on the other.

Uga wasn't going to slip to 4 or jump to 1.

Had Bama slipped to 10, that would have setup a potential semi-final rematch.

Alabama and Georgia could play each other THREE times with #3 being the nattie game.

It is my throw away bracket on ESPN bracket challenge.

Roll the dice on the show cause and bring Pruitt back as DC

The expansion has accomplished its goal...to ensure big money

It was solely about money and not individual programs.

Same teams and same conferences most years. Expansion provided more reps from broader regions that draw more interest in parts of the country where it had been waning. Broader expansion also saved the major bowls in years when they wouldn't be on the 4 team rotation for the 4 team playoffs. The NY6 bowls, not hosting, were also affected by opt outs and loss of viewership.

Cutting bowls would seem the obvious choice to increase their importance, but I am sure the financials work out that a 3/4 empty stadium in an obscure bowl game between two FCS level quality teams makes sufficient ad revenue.

There isn't a decision that conference leadership makes that does come back to $$$. It does help established teams, but wasn't done solely to protect those traditional powers.
During the Bama-OU game, I believe they had mentioned Mateer was a pretty good infielder/ball player that had considered playing college baseball.
Is that image reversed because going from right to left with your tally marks is just insanity.
He is a solid hire. And, was more affordable.

Stricklin is only taking grief because he couldn't raise enough or be convincing enough to land Lane.

Time will tell, obviously, but he may prove the better hire.

They should join the AAC.

Or CUSA or SunBelt.

Seems best path to the CFPs each year as the format currently stands

If Ty can relearn how to throw the ball down field, I think Alabama wins big

Or mostly catchable balls anywhere, it would certainly be a bonus.

Honestly just need Bama to get healthy.

Holding out hope that temps are lower than expected and that Daisy Duke wearing OU assassin of a kicker has to wear big boy points and limits him to only being automatic from 49 yds in. :lol:

It is going to be another slugfest. Bet it all on crimson and you can't lose.
