...Leadership, Ethics, Notre Dame, and a good walk spoiled...

My instinct is that that will never happen it is just way too large a population of teams with way too many tiers of performance and resources to play football. College football -- call it media college football will be a much much small group, perhaps 75 teams of major programs broken further into two performance/ budget divisions

What we see in the media -- the revenue rich media will be smaller than the Power 4 today ,, maybe 32-38 teams somewhere. Vanderbilt and Wake forest and Iowa State will ont be in the "media major team competitive group"

In the arcane metrics of the Committee, Miami had no game performance to support them. The Committee is pretty strict. There are good losses and bad losses, but the game between a good loss and a close win is large.

But ironically, Miami's "defenseless" EPA profile suggests they are ranked properly, but their lack of balance offense to defense is stark.

@5FootNothinPod Notre Dame was almost certainly included in the Pod 1 discussion and came up short compared to UCLA. That's fine.

@Mcstephens42335 @_SVPod Yes...I don't understand that stat. My guess would be that is as much as anything else it is a comment on poor Committee selections!!

[SpotWelder @murphy324]

@GataDawgB2B @_SVPod Errors?

[SpotWelder @murphy324]

Good question. Intuition is 30 days of rest generates large gains in recovery, but the staff and player leadership must enforce discipline. Kelly often spoke of the leverage of player leadership on winning. Freeman runs a culture where the captains and everyone else are providing leadership in one form or another.

Have a ball. I can tell you that voting in Texas has become enormously more convenient in the last 8 years. We are able to vote at any polling station.

Plentiful early voting in-person 12-hour schedules.

No forms to sign in at all 20 second check in process. Just present your D/L.

Huge numbers of voters mail in. Voting software graphics and hardware (in person) have essentially been perfected. We voted at 7:30 am a few days ahead of time in person, and there was no line.

We believe all these improvements along with large gains in digital communication, have made "get out the vote" campaigns much more effective -- perhaps doubling or tripling productivity. We believe we received some number approaching 2000 texts in our household over a 60-day period soliciting our engagement.

All workers from CFO to janitorial team have voting options in every direction with compelling technology and convenience. We speculated that campus voting and senior center voting are now seamless, as well.

@FBSchedules It's not a joke. Fits with Sagarin quite well. Remember, Non-P4 and especially FCS penalize heavily. Georgia's SOS will take off given regular season wrap-up and the SEC Championship.

I suspect ND was included in Pod 1 with the Top 4 and lost the 4th spot to UCLA. (Extremely likely, actually.) Such a great example of the Committee's useless limited metric approach. But ND fans (including me) should just detach from the Committee. Notre Dame has Left No Doubt and is in full control of its destiny with or without a bye.

[SpotWelder @murphy324]

@Brett_McMurphy @CFBPlayoff I am reminded of Tommy Rees's unflatering miced press box video criticizing his quarterback on the phones.

"Do your [expletive] job!"

[SpotWelder @murphy324]

@RudyRock56 @Matt_Fortuna There's an argument that it's just one sack -- something about the sideline.

[SpotWelder @murphy324]

@sstaffordtweet Do Miami fans believe Toney will return this year?

[SpotWelder @murphy324]

Barkate will be busy. An online scan of information on tightrope surgery says Toney's earliest return is January 14. Teams always make unrealistic return dates, so is there some evidence that this situation is special. His role as a WR makes ankle surgery recovery times much longer.

[Rollo @SportsRollo]

The corruption is LEGIT insane

[SpotWelder @murphy324]

@SportsRollo It could be simply a matter of desperation that Sankey cannot get anyone outside his SEC circle to sign up for pigeon duty in this unserious organization

[SpotWelder @murphy324]

@PaoloUggetti BYU's defeat of ND anchors BYU in the Top 10. Miami's loss to ND leaves them no anchor in the Top 5, especially since they were getting blown out until Leonard, the Unanimous All-American and Sanders (both starting CBs) went out due to injury.

[SpotWelder @murphy324]

@CFBGuy999 I think if you review the tape, one recorded sack was not really a sack.

[SpotWelder @murphy324]

@PatMcAfeeShow @ReceDavis The AP, Coaches and EPA data trolled them of the "ready to maniuplate" metrics and a few steps toward common sense. The best description of the Playoff Committee is a severely undercapitalized and undermanned NCAA.
