One thing I’ll say for ole Paul (good name), he could win the shite out of conference tournaments. He won 11 of them!

Steve van Buren is the greatest forgotten NFL RB of all time. He was Jim Brown before Jim Brown but he has two NFL titles (back to back) to Brown's one.

This is 72 teams. I would do more culling (bottom 12 got to go) and have 6 conferences with 10 teams each. SEC, ACC, Big 10, SWC, PAC 10 and some form of the Big 8 plus 2.

All conferences play 9 conf games (all teams every year) and are required to play at least one other Big 6 opponent. Maybe do like the NFL where two conferences are matched up and you play the team who finished in the same spot as you last year so there is no arguing.

Each conference picks their method of crowning a champion. Six conference champs make the playoff. Top 2 seeds get a bye (no committee, use the AP poll).


ETA: with every team playing all 9 conference opponents every year, it should eliminate the need for a conference title game. There would either need to be title games in every conference or none at all. It needs to be uniform.

Well Jayden DID win the Heisman, and Malik SHOULD have won the Belitnikoff and Thomas was a top 3 receiver in college. So no they weren’t wasted. They milked them for everything they had. Wasting them would be forcing Jayden to stand in the pocket and not letting him play his game to free up the receivers to reach their full potential. For example.

Who cares about revenue? What's their EBITDA?

They seem to be unfairly singled out.

There are now 16 teams in the SEC, and yet, through it all, since its first expansion in 1992, there have been only six teams STILL that have won an SEC title.

And those same six teams are still the only six teams in the SEC that have won a national title since Ole Miss did it in 1960 (as a co-champion).

The fact is it’s hard.

Goes back as long as I can remember. When did the expression “the only thing the prevent defense prevents is victory” come about?

I'm not a huge fan of coaching awards, because all they've become is the award to the coach who had the biggest turnaround. Saban lost one game per year for over a decade and could never sniff the award because he was "supposed" to win. It's stupid.

I have no doubt Cignetti will win it. I'm not saying he's necessarily undeserving, but let's face it, Indiana would be the underdog against, and would most likely lose to, over half the teams in the SEC (UGA, UT, Bama, TX, A&M, Florida, LSU, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Mizzou). They would struggle with Arkansas, Miss. St., Vandy. They might even lose to Auburn or Oklahoma. Sorry Kentucky, they probably win that one.

They benefitted from an outrageously weak schedule for the Big 10, with their best win by far coming against Michigan by 5 (a 7-5 team). But, still, he did a great job turning that perennial joke of a program into a contender.

Bo Pelini played in that game. We had a two score lead very late and flubbed it. I think Pelini had a pick or fumble recovery to help.

People forget that players are basically on loan for one season periods. Hell, a couple of these flips could end up transferring after spring ball.
