    Game Thread: CFP Quarterfinals- Wed. Jan. 1 (ESPN)

    Launch doesn't matter, what matters is forceable contact to head or neck area of defenseless opponent. If Texas hits that FG we are probably talking about that no call like the Rams-Saints no PI call a few years back.

    tackle in the midsection, not hit them high. That particular hit to the head was very avoidable. officials blew that call...badly. Really feels like "we don't want to decide the game with this call", when you helped decide the game with a no call. I know Texas missed, but it prevented AZ...

    Game Thread: CFP Quarterfinals- Wed. Jan. 1 (ESPN)

    helmet contact on defenseless player is targeting even without a launch. "The rule prohibits players from initiating forcible contact against an opposing player. That could be leading with the crown of the helmet while making forcible contact, or making forcible contact with the head or neck...

    JessN: Michigan wrap-up: Bama needs a clean break from this identity

    My question is why was he so easy on him and why did he always look like he was thinking "there is nothing I can do about this". That's what leads me to believe that there were some serious backroom deals in January.

    Didnt believe Deboer (About Milroe) - no teasers please

    I don't think we fully understand what was going on behind the scenes from the day CNS retired to today. I suspect that a number of people have hit it on the head regarding NIL/LANK/Roster deals that were made to prevent a complete disaster in the portal last January. CKD inherited $10 million...

    Milroe panicked on 4th down...no composure. Could have saved his dreadful day, instead he cemented it.

    Maybe Milroe can beat Cam Ward pulling himself at half-time and turn pro right now!

    Which Team Or Teams Do Not Belong?

    Not saying I like the SMU argument, just that there is one...lol. They probably lose at least 4-5 games against the Bama schedule (Wisc?, GA, Tenn, SC, LSU?, Mizz?, and Vandy?). I think they are losing at least 4 of those games and that doesnt even count Oklahoma.

    Which Team Or Teams Do Not Belong?

    There is never going to be a 100% foolproof way of determining who belongs and who doesn't. SMU clearly crapped the bed today and didn't do their argument any favors, but there is certainly an argument of why they belonged. As much as I want to say with certainty that Bama 100% belonged, I can...

    Which Team Or Teams Do Not Belong?

    Rhett Lashlee's take after the game today: "We didn't play well enough to say anything that isn't going to be written," Lashlee said. "It'll be written, should we be in or did we belong? That's fine. You're welcome to write it. We didn't play good today. But this is a quality team. We had a good...

    Proposal: Eight teams in the postseason

    I would say the environment of the hosted games so far has us closer to 16 with no byes than shrinking the field. Revenue > Competitive games in the minds of the decision makers. They will say they want competitive match-ups, but when it comes down to it more money generated for athletic...

    My response was a reply to why NIL exists, not why playoff selection is the way it is. As for the selection of playoff teams it comes down to what the objective of the playoff is: If the goal of the playoff is to determine the single best team in the country, then go back to 4 teams at most...

    Don't need 68 or 72 in basketball either, but creates more TV inventory. More people watch play-ins than NIT. This is revenue dependent, not quality dependent. Even the stadium revenue with campus hosted first round games is better than most bowl ticket revenue these games would generate...

    CNS said it best in his argument on selection show. SOS should have been in mind when initially ranking these teams and then winning your conference title should have been the reward to get in. By ranking them so high before Selection Sunday, you made it a punishment for losing a championship...

    Certainly one persepective on things. I think it is the NCAA holding on to "amateurism" and not seeking anti-trust exemptions for years as to why we are here. Them continuing to be reactionary to everything is why things are as bad as they are. At some point just contractualize signing day...

    Playoff game inventory for TV partners is why these things expand. Ironic that expanding to 16 this year would improve the quality of the playoffs as get you better quality teams in slots 13-16, than what you have in 10-12 this year.

    BREAKING MIke Vick taking Norfolk State head coach job

    Good for him. It has been 18 years since the dog fighting ring news broke. He did time, has spoken out against dog fighting and helped lobby to get a bill passed ot outlaw spectating at animal fights. I have no idea how genuine any of his actions are in regard to what he did, but every time...

    Starters for Bowl Game?

    Going to be the norm for bowl teams and even some playoffs teams unless they change the transfer portal windows. Very annoying, but on the bright side the bowl games are such an important financial piece of FBS football that they will likely adjust portal date to deliver a better product to...
