Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[SpringBokVol]

3 loss teams should not get at-large bids. You're not deserving at that point. I don't care who you've beaten.

I don't care that Miami and SMU haven't played tough schedules. Leave Bama at home

What this has really shown me is that there are really only about 10-12 good football teams.

Consistently good.

Every year you will have another 3-4 pop and not sustain the level of play.

There just really aren’t that many good football programs.

 

[jave36]

Correct.

I don't find any mention of a "peel back" block and the rule for blocking below the waist has no mention of direction.

I decided not to be lazy. Here are the NCAA rules for blocking below the waist. Basically only those in the tackle box against others in the tackle box until the ball leaves the tackle box.

South Carolina deserve to be in over Bama

Unfortunately, deserves has nothing to do with it

The CFP and media think leaving Bama out of the CFB playoff is like 80's WWF leaving Hulk Hogan out of Wrestlemania

 

[Weezer]

Lane is correct. This playoff embodies cfb. Theres no rules or parameters on recruiting, uniform officiating, unbalanced in-conference scheduling, and a corrupt playoff process.

At what point do they mention OM is KY's lone SEC win?

Thanks. I stopped reading too early. My bad.

Yeah, and nobody gives a d-mn if they're in and there is no additional TV market obtained thereby. It's 100% propaganda and swindle.

At what point do they mention OM is KY's lone SEC win?

Yeah. Hard to have much sympathy for Ole Miss when all they had to beat was beat an absolutely pathetic Kentucky team at home. Still, how much worse is a nail biter loss to Kentucky at home compared to getting blown out by a very mediocre (at best) Oklahoma team on the road? The Kentucky loss is worse, but objectively speaking, getting destroyed by a .500 Oklahoma team that lost at home
by double digits to Tennessee and South Carolina is a terrible loss too.

Neither team should be in. If a 3 loss team in the SEC should get in, it’s South Carolina. We all know this won’t happen, though. Alabama’s brand gets them in over SC every time. Plus, the committee has the head to head cop out to use as its reasoning for putting Bama ahead of SC.

 

[Orange.]

A cut block is probably the name for illegal below the waist block. High school and college and NFL are all different on what is legal with below the waist blocks, so I'm not entirely sure when a block below the waist is legal or not in college.

I'm fairly sure your direction relative to your own goal line comes into play there, but I'm not sure.

I know they revised blindside block rules a few years back, so they may have done away with the "can't block when moving toward your own goal line" rule then because the new blindside rule overlapped with it?

Great find though, is that the 24 NCAA rule book or 23?

'24. Thanks to my curiosity and many conversations with you, I bookmarked it.

You’d be shocked how many Alabama “fans” there are.

 

[Orange.]

F Bama. Bama sitting out because they deserve to sit out would be one of the healthiest things to happen to college football in a long time.

this is where they belong

South Carolina lost to both Bama and Ole Miss… and they got manhandled vs OM

 

[Volfan1000]

Maybe we land a few surprise commitments on Wednesday.

They’re bandwagon mental deficients. They’ll change teams and keep watching. Viewership would prolly go up if Bama were left out. That’s what Sankey and Feinblabber are in a panic trying stop people from finding out.

The vast overwhelming percentage of college football would deem it a breathe of fresh air and health for the sport.

They’ll show you everything except the start of the fight. Because some Ohio bruhs would be suspended for the first half of their playoff game. It doesn’t make any difference if there was no flag thrown. And it doesn’t make any difference that the game is over.

There was a brief time period where I stopped watching any games outside of Vols games because it was boring to see the same teams get into the playoff and the talent inequality between teams was so big that most games just seemed like boring blow outs. So for most of the Pruitt era I didn’t watch any other teams unless forced too. It felt like CFB was dead to me cause only a select few teams were allowed to cheat the most and stack up on elite talent compared to other teams.

Everyday I wake up and thank the lord I bought $1000 worth of XRP when it was 0.34

It’s now at $2.28.

If there’s no punishment for losers of the conference championship games then there should be no reward for winners thus making CGs obsolete.

This is in response to if UGA loses to UTjr giving them 3 losses and will remain in the CFP.

Truth. Plus, we are actually tied for 2nd. Head to head doesn’t matter anyways. If Georgia loses, who is there to say we wouldn’t beat Texas H2H? Plus we could beat GA on neutral field with neutral ref crew. If they end up with 3 losses, they should at least be behind us.
