@MoDakhil_NBA Such a myopic response. It’s an annual series not just for ‘26. B10 schedule quality fluctuates wildly year to year.

Not to mention you skipping over competition for CA recruits and the difference btwn aiming for the CFP vs Natty.

[Bill W @Volte_iv]

@IbisRex @PenguinOfTroy Why should a team want split its revenues with worse teams? TV contract aside, is their bowls $ not just more risk and reward? It goes both ways

I’ve already explain why ND fans are reasonably annoyed with the CFP process this year. it’s not an issue of entitlement.

[Bill W @Volte_iv]

@MoDakhil_NBA How would you grade Lincoln Riley’s tenure? Who is his NBA head coach comp?

[Bill W @Volte_iv]

@IbisRex @PenguinOfTroy The opposite also has to hold though no? ND eats what it kills. Greater risk by not having a safety net conference to give it checks and in return more upside if it performs.

Smugly assumed is weak. Assumed only bc the committee ranked them in the top 12 immediately but whatever

[Bill W @Volte_iv]

@MoDakhil_NBA @mikegolicjr Sounds like conferences aren’t aligned with their schools… why should ND subject themselves to this BS?

USC quit because it knows it won’t be a top team in the B10 & wants a CFP backdoor. ND just saw the consequence of front loading its schedule. Both can be true.

[Bill W @Volte_iv]

@FightOnRusty How would you grade his tenure at USC so far? C+?

[Bill W @Volte_iv]

@PenguinOfTroy Eye test and you know analytics still exists… ND was favored heavily in that game for a reason. Praying that SC is good enough again that it stops talking about “risks” and starts winning. Have been dog walked by the P12 during Helton and B10 during Riley.

[Bill W @Volte_iv]

@SSN_USC If you’re national championship caliber, you’ll go at least 2-1 in that and it shouldn’t matter. If you’re the third or fourth best team in your conference, why do you care about the CFP? You’ve proven you aren’t the best team. Who cares that the schedule is hard

[Bill W @Volte_iv]

@JordanReffett Five auto bids was decided when there were 5 power conferences. Issue is conference consolidation and rules that won’t adjust with the times because p4 want additional protection to cover their behind if they have down year

[Bill W @Volte_iv]

@IbisRex @PenguinOfTroy Interesting. I just don’t get why… pick the teams that are playing the best. Can you play devils advocate and explain why give a damn about conference / expectation of a reserved bid or any of that junk? Who does it benefit?

[Bill W @Volte_iv]

@IbisRex @PenguinOfTroy Don’t want to rehash too much bc what’s done is done… but can’t help it. I’m rooting for Miami. Y’all are legit. My issue is that ND was jumped by Bama who barely beat Auburn who then got crushed by Georgia but BYU fell and Bama didn’t? Committee was inconsistent from the jump.

[Bill W @Volte_iv]

@flugempire Can you imagine saying this under Carroll? Heavily implying that you expect to be worse than Oregon, Indiana, OSU and maybe lose another couple. During Helton fine but time to raise the bar with Riley

[Bill W @Volte_iv]

@MoDakhil_NBA If you win, it benefits SC massively and you only travel every other year. It’s concerning that under Riley any potential tough away game is viewed first as a loss. The mindset shift from national championship or bust to hopefully make the playoffs is ugly.

[Bill W @Volte_iv]

@JakeOlson61 You realize by not playing ND it puts you at greater risk of being screwed by them in the end. Beating ND lets you control your destiny compared to another potential playoff team. This is not a win for SC

[Bill W @Volte_iv]

@dub_myles @dukestainer @RyanKartje At least SC could influence the P12. Now they’re stuck in B10 as a 1/18 voice getting overruled on private equity money and other ideas that directly hurt their interests.

[Bill W @Volte_iv]

@dukestainer @RyanKartje Everyone lost the plot with NIL and thought TV revenue would control your destiny. Undoubtedly a huge factor but with the $20.5 rev share cap former PAC12 teams have ended in a worse spot than they started

[Bill W @Volte_iv]

@Legiontheboy Who do you want in?

[Bill W @Volte_iv]

@OrangeBowlBoys You realize this screws everyone else right? With the MOU playing weaker teams allows ND to waltz into the CFP with a good win loss record. Everyone should be begging hard to teams to play ND to knock them out of contention
