Nico COULD start next year, but I highly doubt that’s the plan. Heupel doesn’t seem like a guy that says “this guy is too talented, we need to get him on the field whether he’s ready or not.” If Nico wants to start, he’s not going to have to just keep up with Milton in spring / fall camp, he’s going to need to blow the competition away. If all things are equal, expect Milton to start.

I would also argue that Milton starting and having a really good year is better for the program. If Heupel can resurrect Hooker and Milton from the transfer QB graveyard and then Nico comes in and kills it, UT will have even more top high school QBs and top transfer QBs beating down the door to play for Heupel.

JMO.

If Milton is still here then Heupel is going to start him and give him a long leash. That's a 3 year project by then and Milton showed trust to stay, Heupel wanted to start him all along and clearly thinks the potential is too high. He's going to be the starter.

The playoff expansion...

I'm not against it from the standpoint of exclusion of more teams.

I dont like that you will most certainly see rematches of top programs from the same conference, be it regular season or conf title games. So losing those types of big games simply won't mean anything.

The thing that has always separated college football from every other sport is the value of the regular season.

That changes now.and that sucks.

And like single-elimination tournaments are any more "legitimate" than just letting the top two over the course of an entire regular season play each other. But bigger playoff means bigger money, and money will always win in the end.

Hopefully it will encourage more talent to go to 20 possible teams that may make the playoffs than to 4 or 5. Because the top players have went to those because that’s their only shot to experience the playoffs even if they are not the starter. It’s ridiculous the amount of talent AL, GA and OSU have. So if you’re just wanting to watch the most talented teams play then don’t watch until the last game. But it’s going to be exciting to watch the other teams at least get a shot to play for it. At first the top 4 will still have the advantage with talent and first round bye, but it should get more competitive as the years go by. Anything is better than this. I don’t even watch it anymore.

I think it will give back value to teams that have no chance except the top 5 or 6 because of the talent all going to the same few teams. Right now the regular season and bowls are meaningless. Only the top 4 teams matter and that doesn’t change much during the year. All we had to get excited about last year was Clemson wasn’t going to go for the first time in forever. But obviously GA and AL were.

I get that and won't argue against it.

But let's say we had this format in 98. We finally best uf, go undefeated and win the conference.

Were the 1 seed. Florida was still a top 4-5 team with their only loss being against us.

So we'd probably have to play them again?

I just think we're gonna see more uga/bama type rematches. I don't think we're all the sudden gonna see more variety at the top.sure it's good for the 2nd tier to have a chance, I guess.

But it really devalues the importance of those big regular season match ups and conf title games, particularly in the sec and big 10.
