@hunterhhewell Quick everyone find a billionaire donor to donate a fortune larger than most countries gdp to fill your rosters with overpriced talent.. quick.. go..
@T_REX1991 That’s how I feel about the auburn game being moved to the professional stadium this year, had been looking forward to the “SEC” stadium experience.
@hunterhhewell I fear this is an unrecoverable spiral. Even with a new regime next year, will they have enough funds to offset the embarrassing image we’ll have created by then? Without a major sports donor or the ‘men in black’ memory flash, the dark days may cometh again.
@CraigSmoak Don’t think any amount of money could inspire many prospects to come let alone keep what’s worth keeping, while we have this regime, and then it’ll take time for the next to rebuild.
@ShehanJeyarajah Is Indiana now the expectation for cfb coaches? Cignetti has taken a nobody and within 2 years created a legit title contender with minimal NIL. Be good or be gone now?
@ShehanJeyarajah At the end of the day, CFB was always a for profit business. It will be interesting with big brother looking over your shoulder for a ROI, but this likely just shifts whose pockets the $ ends up in.
Division III uses a metric called the NCAA Power Index (NPI) as the sole criterion for selection and seeding. Here's how the CFP bracket might look using NPI:
@DavidSmoak@BUFootball lol. It probably doesn’t, but hopefully this translates to, “given a good portion of our team is not returning, we’re focusing efforts on recruiting and team building through the portal, vs waking up sleeping dogs for an additional game”
The way the College Football season shaped up, the CFP Committee had an opportunity to do the most right thing with the smallest backlash.
Alabama and BYU getting blown out in their conference championship games opened the door to put both Notre Dame and Miami in.
Instead they dropped the ball and punished BYU for losing, didn’t punish Alabama for losing and then flipped Notre Dame and Miami despite neither of them playing a game.
None of it makes sense.
They did the thing that would give them the most backlash just to have 5 SEC teams in the playoff.
That makes everyone question the integrity of the process and rightfully so.
