Ehh then we will get the moaning about who gets what opponent at home vs away.
No
Resumes are predicated on perception.
Resumes are a list of past accomplishments. It's not forward looking.
Texas A&M has a way better resume than Miami because they play in the SEC.
I don't think it has to do with being in the SEC. TAMU dropped one game: to a not-bad Texas team. Miami lost twice. I think you can hate the SEC and still recognize that Miami had a lesser resume than TAMU.
Miami beat them heads up.
But this supports my point: TAMU clearly had a better resume, but because resumes are not predictors, Miami still won. Miami winning does mean TAMU had a lesser resume than they did. It means Miami won.
Similarly, OU losing to Bama doesn't mean that OU was undeserving of a bid or undeserving of a home game - teams with the better resume lose all the time.
VT plays in the ACC. We need to go to a bowl next year or all this momentum will dry up quicker than my front yard in August. If he only wins 12 games in the next years the alarm bells need to be going off 24/7 and a deafening decibel level.
7-5 or 13-0. Im not picky for year one.
Remember when we won the coaching search by hiring Fuente?
yeah, I think it absolutely would be. FTR, I don't think he'll do that badly
if Franklin only wins 12 games in 2 years.
You know what's wild: excluding the covid season, that would literally be the worst two year stretch of JMMF's headcoaching career. He won 14 games his first two seasons at PSU. He won 16 his last two seasons ('24 & '25).
So maybe 12 wins in 2 season would signal something to be alarmed about.

nah, fuck resumes. Resumes are predicated on perception. Texas A&M has a way better resume than Miami because they play in the SEC. Miami beat them heads up.
Throw all that shit out the window. Get rid of rankings. Get rid of resumes. Conference Champions get in. Full Stop.
ESPN put the Franklin hire #2 in the cycle behind Kiffin to LSU.

All of the "my team would hypothetically win over your team" decision making is just so much nonsense.
This is why I'm in favor of computer rankings. The question is no longer 'would my team win over your team', instead it's 'who has the most impressive resume'. Which I am in favor of.
Computer ratings can be both malleable and disposable in the hands of people who would rather just vote in the first place.
I'm okay with that - as long as the computer rankings aren't changed midseason. The thing about Computer rankings is that they are predictable and the inputs/outputs are known (I know, I know, LLMs are non-determinant blah blah blah - that's not what these things are/should be). A team can hire some nerd to crunch numbers, and figure out that if they win the next five games by 3 points, there's a 97.34% chance they're in the playoff.
Compare that to the committee which does things like bump a team from the playoff when a QB gets injured, and elevate Miami over ND if and only if the team in between them loses (I just can't wrap my head around that logic smh) and change their ranking criteria week-to-week.
If you don't want to see blowouts, then don't watch postseasons, because that's totally a thing in sports.
I don't have a problem with blowouts. I don't see anyone arguing that OU or Oregon shouldn't be in the playoff, despite being blown out in previous years. I think it's good that Tulane and JMU got in this year, and I think it's shitty how the rules for 2026 were changed (once again) to make sure that doesn't happen.
for the critical thinking fan who can see beyond wins, sure. But for a majority of us who just see Ws and Ls, I think the fanbase would be up in arms if Franklin only wins 12 games in 2 years.
Let's say Franklin only wins 5 games year 1 and like 7 in year two. How will we feel then? What will we need to see in year 3 to feel good about this hire?
If recruiting and donations are up, then it's fine. If they've flatlined/are declining then it's a problem.
Probably, but now it's undeniable.
something tells me that its not a new thing at UNC at all
Starting to become their M.O.
She said yes, so it was consenting adults.
Oh, snap, now I see what he and Belichick have in common...
By guaranteeing all conferences have a shot, even just in name only, you could see some top tier talent at lower tier schools.
Also, half the fun of March are the upsets that seemingly come out of nowhere.
Like the one below this text.
Based on the post, is the thought that Petrino will be the OC but then they will fire Belichick relatively soon and make Petrino the HC? If so, man they really are into having old HCs, huh?
you're no fun, let me shitpost
Interesting choice. If you ignore all of the Bobby Petrino issues, which is very hard to do, He did have Arkansas scoring at a pretty good clip. I think he still has the chops as an OC. Was hoping they would hire a complete disaster. We'll see who they get for actual players. 50 freshman next year seems like a recipe for 3 wins.
I've said it here before and it was commented as one if the most depressing takes, but i love college football because it is the best analogy to life, all other sports are escapism, college football is life, no matter how good you are the bosses son will be the next boss, your last name matters more than it should. CFB will always find a way to support the institutional teams, they will always punish mizzou for crimes committed by Bama.
But once and a while some one comes out of no where to win. You get a Howard Shultz, Larry Ellison, Bill Clinton, some one that comes from poverty and gets to the top of the mountain. Its why we want Indiana to win so much, if your team isnt in the playoffs the how can you not root for Indiana. Because if they can do it then we believe anyone can beat a "rigged" system. That why college football is amazing.
All Bill had to do was retire and just walk away and instead hes doing his best to one up each mistake at the moment.
Seeing how well the talented young wrestlers are doing around the country, I couldn't be more excited to see these guys hit the mat in a VT singlet. The 2025 class is already showing it had a bunch of guys that can get 2+ wins at NCAAs and the next two classes look like they'll have plenty of contenders too. I haven't heard anything about it but I really hope Melvin Miller reclassifies.
