I kinda liked the 4-team playoff. Avoid those weird years like 2001, 2003, 2004 where you had to leave a worthy participant out, but don't expand it so much that you run the risk of ending up with a 3-loss national champion. Single elimination tournaments are fun but a poor method of determining the true greatest team in the sport that year.

You hit the nail on the head, once you keep expanding the best team hardly ever wins the title, and imo if you cant even win your division or conference you dont deserve to play for the big title.

Its going to cause more chaos and headaches too, what happens when you have 12 and 13 with the same record and one gets left out. What do you do if a 10-2 G5 team makes it in over a 9-3 P5 team and gets blown out. The BCS era with computer rankings was the best way to decide things.
People just got mad when Bama and LSU played each other in the championship, but they were honestly the two best teams that year.

Still trying to figure out why Mora was being childish…. Maybe the Hail Mary at half???

I think it might have been Heupel and co. dressing down some of his staff and players for practicing on the Tennessee sideline, hence Mora's comment about his team performing with class "before, during, and after the game."

I figured it was about the pregame scuffle. Heupel was in the middle of it telling the UCONN players to vacate and looked like he voiced his frustration a little bit to a UCONN coach. Nothing crazy but maybe Mora didn’t like whatever was said when the UCONN coach relayed what happened.

He was a joy to watch. He had moves to get off the line of scrimmage to breakup plays I’ve not seen since then. His backstory is worth looking up. There’s a reason he was called the ‘The Minister of Defense’.

I was too young to remember Reggie as a player but when I've watched clips of him, it has always struck me that Reggie is using aikido and judo style leverage techniques. He throws people around the way Aikido masters (Aikido is what's called a soft style in the martial arts) do. Basically, you use their own energy to do the throwing and every time it's done right it almost looks fake because the other person looks like a child being tossed about.

Knoxville and East, TN have an odd place in martial arts history because a lot of the Japanese martial arts were preserved here (especially Ishin Ryu but others as well and including Chinese and Korean martial arts). Soldiers who went over during WWII as well as students and businessmen/women who were there post-war brought it home with them. I don't know if Reggie picked it up from taking a formal class or just having friends or a teacher show him but he would've been in an area where it would've been easy to pick something like that up. Even UT (hell I know about Akido because of an Iaido class (basically translates to drawing of the sword - you learn to use the katana) I took at UT.

Tampering pure and simple. If Heupel said that and it was picked up on camera, you can bet the league office would be on the case and penalties handed down.

How's it tampering? The guy transferred from Bama to LSU. He was just telling him the truth.
