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.

The guy transfered from Bama... right?

I hate Saban as much as the next vol fan but is it even possible to transfer back to the school you already left?

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.

I’m calling BS on all of the above.

Right now 12-17 have the same record
Lets say you get 3 teams with the same record for the final spot who do you give it to?

That’s like saying right now you got 5 teams with the same record, who gets the last spot. You don’t. You wait and let a few eliminate themselves with a loss and then I’m sure they’ll do it like they do now and have some committee pick the last 2-3.

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.

Okay, now I’m going to have to look this up because I’m curious. Reggie was a absolute wrecking machine here and the pros. He also was a gentle person that had his beliefs and practiced them. I still remember him holding prayer on the sidelines.

Thats my point though, there will be human bias in the one chosen between the 3.

I know you do not know me, but trust me on this one. Reggie did not take any martial arts. His family did not have the money to pay for something like this. I was friends with Reggie from his junior year in high school, and he would thought this was funny.

Yeah so. There always has been. Just like now. But how is eliminating the 5,6,7 teams that can rightfully argue every year that they are as good as #4 better than letting eliminating 13,14 that have no chance of winning just like 10,11,12 have little chance.

In a one game sample size 11 can beat 2, and so on and so forth. If #2 ran the regular season undefeated and one of the teams they beat was #11, 11 went 10-2 but got one of the extra spots and comes back and beats #2. Why was #11 deserving of another chance when #2 already beat them?
