I Don't Know if This is True.....
I read this on a message board but I don't know if it's true because I haven't seen any video footage. It seems as though newly hired Missouri football coach Eli Drinkwitz stated at his press conference that his goal in Columbia was to win the Sun Belt. Uh, Eli, you just left the Sun Belt and are now coaching in the SEC. Helluva way to get started if true.

Nobody really complains about the NFL playoff system. Well maybe when 8-8 teams get in, but it's generally accepted as fair, merit-based, and non-controversial. (That said, one of the reasons for both the NCAA's football and basketball system's popularity is its controversy.) Cobra Mgr's 16-team scenario is most-like the NFL's system, but not practical from a "what's the likelihood the NCAA would adopt it anytime soon?" perspective.
So, because it might be the next most-likely scenario to be implemented and is similar to "old-school" NFL style playoffs... Big Five Conf Champs automaticaly qualify, ranked by committee: #1 - LSU (SEC champ) #2 - Ohio St (B10 champ) #3 - Clemson (ACC champ) #4 - Oklahoma (B12 champ) #5 - Oregon (P12 champ) Three wild cards, committee's highest-ranked remaining: #6 - Georgia #7 - Baylor #8 - Wisconsin (Laughs that even in an 8-team scenario, Lou Satan's Tide gets left out) In this scenario there is room for, say, an independent or undefeated smaller conference winner to get in if they are ranked high enough, but this year that doesn't apply. (And IMO the committee should be encouraged to get undefeateds into the 8-team tourney, even if not from a Big Five conference.) I don't know that it's silly. It's just not all that practical, IMO. What I like about an 8-teamer is that there is really no doubt that you are getting all of the - typically, 3-to-5 - teams in that have a legitimate chance at winning the title. Any more than that and you are including teams that, while they might have a chance at an upset in Round One, have no reasonable chance of winning three straight games, two of which would likely be against top 3-or-4 ranks. Not that I have a problem with Appy State or FAU in the tourney. More that I at least want the minimum number of teams in the tourney that accomplishes getting the legit title-contenders in. That's the 8-teamer, IMO. |

They had zero losses & beat the team that beat the top 2 teams that year, but "they weren't that good"?

But hef argues his proposal allows for a Group of 5 team if they reach the top 8.

I fail to see expanded playoffs would be any more of a burden than it is for the FCS or lower divisions. The FCS has 24 teams in the national championship bracket with no ill effects.

Could you have taken a worse pic of the Clemson football team? The team is waving to their fans after a win. But somehow the photographer got a group of every white player frozen in time looking like they are giving a Nazi salute. Why did Yahoo!Sports choose this pic?

What is with the obsession people have to turn literally everything they see into something racial even when YOU KNOW they are just ****ing waving
Why can't there just be a picture of a team waving to fans and you leave it alone? |

Everything is construed to be racist these days. They even investigated the cadets, and found nothing, for playing some circle game during the Army/Navy game. I am surprised they do not call people that wear crosses racist.
