# | French on the incoming freshman and transfer portal addtions on the Two Deep Podcast Would they allow Grunk to keep on a slow mesh, even if only for a yard or two, to keep a defense honest?
A comment like that is just stalling.
We really need to pin this topic down...

# | Washington QB announces transfer to LSU a week after signing NIL contract with UW, chaos ensues - UPDATE - remains at UW I wish some people would take this into consideration when advising clients on construction projects. Sometimes it is just not worth it.

# | Washington QB announces transfer to LSU a week after signing NIL contract with UW, chaos ensues - UPDATE - remains at UW I'm not defending THIS lawyer, but I am going to add that lawyers don't control the facts of the case, and sometimes the best advice you can give a client is "Dear client: you're being stupid. Stop being stupid, this isn't fixable. I'm an attorney, not a magician."
It would not surprise me if that was the situation in this particular case.
That's the one way I think a lot of this gets fixed... the question comes down to how. The conferences (P4 specificly) are simply too large. 67 team (i think) between the 4 conferences... Absolute impossible to implement a scheduling format with this many teams to anything like the NFL has. Maybe this ?
- Break the P4 up into 8 divisions of 8 teams to form the top tier and do something similar with the G5 to form a bottom tier
- 3 teams get relegated for the first season (if we're at 67 P4 teams today - for this year lets say that's Arkansas, Oklahoma St., and Purdue)
- 2 "conferences" - East and West, made up of 4 divisions, 32 teams each
- Each team plays a 7-game division schedule, plus 3 games against an intra-conference division, 1 game against a cross-conference division opponent.
- Division winners are in the playoffs... Thats 8 teams right off the bat... maybe add 3 wildcard teams per conference and give the #1 seed a bye.
- Last place team in each division in the top tier gets relegated; Division winner from the bottom tier gets promoted
- Rankings and CFP selection committees can piss off
- Put caps in place for transfers between top and bottom tiers
- Restrict transfers to a single window until after the conclusion of the championship game and before spring semesters start (basically a 2 week window)
- Put NIL caps in place on a per team level. Top tier allowed higher cap space
There - i fixed college football
Have a few of his cards. Tough to find in good condition.
What do you need help with interpreting? Am sure APrimus and I can lay it flat for you.
He's had an amazing career because he found a spot that was able to utilize his skillset.
His route running is still incredibly lazy. He takes plays off. And he is not interested in blocking. But if what you mean by, "amazing career" he was a fantastic pass catching TE then I concur. And I'm really happy that he found a place that would allow him to showcase that skill. Hopefully he can do the same at the next level.
Gotta say, just from a pure football perspective, last night's game was a fun watch. Lots of back and forth, great plays on both sides, stupid plays on both sides, and botched calls by the refs both ways. It's what makes CFB fun. I didn't really care who won, because I felt, like Matt said above, it was a win-win situation.
I was thinking about our game with Miami, and went back to check stats this morning. It's pretty amazing how close the stats were in last night's game to our game. It looks like our defense was a little better than Ole Miss, and the offense wasn't very different. We rushed for more yards than OM, but they had more passing yards. Scoring was the biggest difference, as Miss was able to take advantage of their opportunities more than we did. But remember, Miami scored against us with under a minute to play, which was just padding at that point. Looking at the stats, it makes me encouraged about next year. It seems like a long road for us ahead, but maybe it's not as long as it seemed after the LOLUVA game.
i googled thumper based on the first reply
I wouldn't have known what to google, so I was at the mercy of an explanation.
in fairness, I didn't get it either. I had to google it and I never watched Bambi so...

# | French on the incoming freshman and transfer portal addtions on the Two Deep Podcast Most of it was in 06 and 07. Poor choice in words. I was thinking more along the lines of Alum. Was so excited for his senior year. Very unfortunate he was booted by CFB.

# | Washington QB announces transfer to LSU a week after signing NIL contract with UW, chaos ensues - UPDATE - remains at UW Whoever actually wrote that might have been excited.
He's also #52 on the All-Numbers Team, although APR would like a word.
Yeah, me too.
Conference champions would matter if everyone in the conference played each other.
So it requires a bit of scheduling finesse that this year's ACC didn't have.

# | Washington QB announces transfer to LSU a week after signing NIL contract with UW, chaos ensues - UPDATE - remains at UW I think it was his agent that dumped him, not the attorney, but your point is still very valid.
I'll admit I was not rooting against Miami last night, but this feels...

# | Washington QB announces transfer to LSU a week after signing NIL contract with UW, chaos ensues - UPDATE - remains at UW Impossible. Their starting QB bailed the second he thought he had more guaranteed money. He prioritized his checking account over the team. UW is going to be an absolute mess next year.
So happy Miami won. Indiana looks like a powerhouse but I'm Miami all the way no matter what
I think we're seeing why rankings and perceptions shouldn't matter when it comes to the power 4 conferences, and maybe one day the G5.
I also need to remind myself that if entrance into the playoffs was based solely on conference championship status and at-large bids for the remainder of the field, there's a really good chance Miami isn't here and Duke gets walloped in the first round.
I'm just happy to see the playoff unfold the way it has. The SEC has had their asses handed to them and wont even make an appearance in the championship, the Big10 wont have either Ohio St. or Michigan in the championship, and the ACC will have a team playing for the national title. I knew going into this season that VT wasn't going to be competitive, so to have this outcome (even if it is Miami) is about the best-case scenario to end the season.
Was the coffee machine broken?
One thing I forgot to add - by default, this keeps ND and any other independent out of a playoff in year 1. If they want in, they need to join a conference. I would rub it in even further, as commissioner of the new college football order, by telling all current independent teams that since they dont have a conference record to speak of, they will need to start in the bottom tier and work their way up to a promotion.
