I think there are enough question marks at QB for both Georgia and Alabama to not make it a slam dunk. At least one of those two will not make the playoff, IMO.Status quo...if it wasn't Ohio St. then he probably picked FSU or Clemson lol...I don't think both of UGA and Bama make it though. Also, depending how much our defense has improved (which I've heard it has) and if Milton has it together like reports indicate, we'll have something to say about what team(s) come out of the SEC.
I don't think that assessment of State's good teams is accurate. In 2014, State beat 3 top 10 ranked SEC teams in a row (at #8 LSU, #6 Texas A&M, #2 Auburn) and was 9-0 going into Tuscaloosa to play #5 Bama, losing 20-25. Bama won the SEC and lost in the CFP Semifinal. The other three teams ended the season average, but that State team wasn't a paper tiger. They ended up kinda falling apart in the last three games (lost rivalry to Ole Miss and lost bowl game).No one will admit because it exposes the disparities in college football but this is a prime example of how scheduling makes a team and their coach look better than they are. Kentucky's success under Stoops is almost identical to Mississippi State's success under Mullen. Both Stoops and Mullen are solid coaches but their rankings and their success at their programs was built upon weak schedules and just like when unranked 6 win SEC teams play 8 or 9 win ranked teams from the B1G or ACC etc. the system gets utterly exposed.
Don't get me wrong, Stoops is solid, but UK's 10 win seasons are as much due to their Athletic Director's scheduling as anything else. The same goes for State under Mullen. The lack of weight given to scheduling is also why TCU got utterly clobbered by UGA.
these kids are lucky if they sign a deal that doesn't absolutely ruin their earning potential and/or eligibility, I wouldn't put much faith in screwing over the collective(s)Ok. So another possibility here.
Say they accept that offer, start getting paid now per Missouri law, and then back out of the contract. Would assume they would owe any money received back but would still be a pretty sweet "loan" for a high school senior.
