Conferences (especially the SEC) will never give up their championship games, but they’re superfluous and unnecessary. Only serve to be counterproductive.

I think eventually the SEC and B1G will expand again absorbing the ACC schools with a pulse. FSU, Clemson, Miami, UNC, and NC st to the SEC. Notre Dame, Pitt and Louisville to the B1G, the B1G will most likely make other changes as well (bye, bye Rutgers). Each will have 20 teams. Remaining teams will join G5 conferences.
I think regional divisions will return, two in SEC and two in B1G. The playoffs will be expanded to 16 with the four division winners in SEC and B1G getting spots and the remain spots will be at large bids. All seeding done by post regular season rankings.
I think that the conference championships will go away simply because they have lost their significance and they won't be the money makers they are now (and the coaches rally cry will be Remember Carson Beck). The expanded playoff will more than offset the revenue lost.
The bowl system games will go away. The NY6 will be Playoff games. The rest will be like the NIT in basketball. (it's all ready that way)
I am not saying I like it but the die was cast ten years ago.

I agree with all of this brother. Married into a Tarheel family and have lived in charlotte for 30 years due to that. I hate them too. Fortunately we beat them nearly every time we ever play them...even in beloved basketball...like when we beat them in Chapel Hill last time by 19 points in a blowout.

GO VOLS. BELIEVE 2024 WGWTFA

You realize that UT's basketball team lost in Chapel Hill last year. Right? The game was over by halftime. Carolina lead by as many as 24 points. UT cut the lead in the second half due to an insane performance by Knecht (who scored 37 points). UT lost 92-100.

Our coaching staff doesn't share your concern about our offensive line depth chart.

Well if there is anyone that would have a better understanding and grasp on the potential success of our current OL than our actual coaches it would be volinbama256, that's for sure!

They also have a massive stadium, so more seats = more chances for us to grab tickets.

Beaver Stadium? We wouldn't have been able to score as many there as we have in Columbus, and the ratio certainly would not be as impressive

Jeanty will be the first RB off the board in the draft.

First RB perhaps but BOT was saying he was the best football player in the county. Don't get me wrong I like the kid, he's tough as nails, but many will go in the draft before him.

Did you hear about this in Oregon on Dec 8th 2024?

What do you think @ATC_VOL ?

I'm just not going downplay what a great Defensive mind Belichick is. I'm not assuming he will win a National Championship at UNC but I'm not going to downplay the hiring either. Belichick isn't stupid he will put a staff together and get recruiters to do the job for him.

Within 2 years UNC will win ACC Championship and yes I know that's not saying much...

Belicheck will never come close to winning an ACC title. If he doesn’t put a staff of college coaches together he is doomed.

 

[rikberry31]

He is a super bust. He will end up at a mid major

No way, he's a five star. Tennessee should go after him, it would really boost our '23 recruiting ranking. Heck we get him and it may make up for the Arkansas loss and bump us up in the seedings.

These OSU guys are so dismissive of us. It is actually annoying. Picking all our flaws apart in UGA game. Doing like most pundits and under crediting the impact our defense has on other teams. They act like they are already better than UGA and Bama and us.

Actually, they were pretty spot on with their analysis. They pointed out how our offensive line tips the defense if the play is run or pass, how our linebackers are missis, and that Nico hols the ball too long and has difficulty in finding open receivers. most of us already have seen those during the games. However, we are still 10-2 and likely to beat Ohio state. Just think how difficult we will be to defeat when we correct those problems with better talent and execution. They failed to note that we have the SEC offensive player of the year finished third in the SEC behind only two teams rated above us. It says something when we still are one of the better rushing teams in the SEC and Nation. It will be interesting to see what they have to say after next Saturday's game.

Don't tell him the basketVOLS are just 1-6 against them either...

I'm thinking he was so drunk by halftime last year that all he remembers is UT's rally in the second half to make the loss respectable.

Said this in the portal thread, but I’m fine with going after Farooq.

Cousin plays here (obviously) I think he would be a terrific 4th option…but he may want to be the focus for his last season.
