Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[UTK]

Resume:
11-2
0-2 vs Top 25
3pt OT loss in conf. champ. game

Guess who?
Both Texas and SMU

Differences:
SMU combined points lost by - 6
Texas combined points lost by - 18

Both lost at home. Texas's losses are to a better team.

Yup. If Texas is in, SMU has to be in.

 

[BarrythesnoUT]

Necessary sacrifice

No doubt. Still, gross.

in this new era of college football

It will not be NIL that killed football

It will not be the portal that killed football

It will not be the conferences getting ripped apart


It will be the committee putting Bama in the CFP tomorrow. THAT will make the regular season meaningless. That will make the conference championships meaningless. That will taint everything else.

Let's see what they do

100%

Determining the playoff based on recruiting class ranking and royalty will kill this sport.

Nail in bammers coffin

 

[Vol423]

I just think they’ll still sneak Bama in. I hope I’m wrong, but I just don’t think they’ll screw Bama out of it.

Screw Bama out of it? Bama had no business ever being in the discussion in the first place.

 

[Orange.]

I’m not at all convinced SMU is getting in over Bama. And now we have Dabo.

I think Texas has a better change of getting the boot than Bama does. Even money on whether Oregon or Bama stays in.

 

[Ashevolle]

I guess Dabo's giving the game ball to God tonight

*I hope the gumps get what they deserve..... the Liberty Bowl

They can do the right thing and make this season count. It will also increase excitement for next season and beyond tenfold.

If they put bama in just because, and for their ratings, then they have committed themselves to ruining CFB

Yep
Figure out a stupid computer formula
Put the 4 conference champs in automatically and then seed accordingly with no guaranteed byes….
1-2 teams that win conference will probably get byes anyways

Here’s McElroy being a **********

Let's see what they do

If I wanted to risk it, I’d but $1,000 saying they put Bama in. They have done nothing to prove they care about on field results. UGA loses, they drop them 9 spots. OSU loses to a far worse team, they drop them 4. Miami loses to Syracuse, they’re out completely because they’ve played no one. Texas and Indiana loses, Indiana is top 10 and Texas is probably falling to 6th, maybe 7th, either way they’re still hosting even though they lost to a damn backup QB. ND loses to Northern Illinois then beats up on an outmatched army team and horrendous USC team, they’re the 5th seed.

Nothing they’ve done makes sense. Nothing they’ve done has followed precedent.

I am so giddy he had to call this game to this outcome.

 

[SoilVol]

Greg McElroy saying SMU belongs in the playoff and saying the committee is setting a "dangerous precedent if they leave SMU out."

THAT is telling

 

[mr.checkerboards]

We should host over Texas, I think the only way we get to host is over another SEC team.... Ill be curious to see who swings a bigger stick. (Although we know the answer)

Yup, I think they’ll keep Bama in and spin it on TV ratings/viewership and it’ll basically be about revenue and not who actually deserved it on the frickin field.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Thank you Sean McDonough and Booger McFarland for getting out ahead of the corruption!

“I hate everyone.”

Kudos to him for swallowing his homerism and speaking truth.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Orlando is nice this time of year I hear

 

[MoCo_Vol]

If you have Texas host SMU in round 1 that’ll be a sellout game.

Penn State host Clemson
Notre Dame host Indiana, easily a sellout
Ohio State host Vols, for sure a sellout

Yep
He knows it’s better for the sport moving forward to bump bama
