Cynical

Yeah, I would be willing to bet he hits the portal in a year or two.

In order to expand the playoffs, there are 2 options: 1) Have the playoff teams play more games (above the 15 being played now) 2) Reduce the amount of regular season games played to keep the total number down to 15. You appear to advocate for option 2. The problem with option 2 is asking the power conferences/teams to drop games from their schedule. They can't drop conference games (obviously). The only thing left is OOC games. Do they drop the OOC game against another power team? Or do they drop the guaranteed home game (and the revenue it generates) that comes with playing the 'sub par' teams? IMO, the schools/conferences are not going to be overwhelming willing to eliminate any regular season games, making option 1 the more likely "solution". Hence, why Bill keeps talking about playing additional games. So you you think a 9-5 Northern Illinois team should get in while a 11-2 Okie State should be left out? I mean, that N. Ill team played one hell of a grueling schedule against such juggernauts like Akron, UB, Kent. etc ... Who is "Mike"? Did you mean Bill? You seem to have a problem with what the FCS is: Between confusing the FCS with Div 1 and Div 2, and now referring to Bill as "Mike" .... ... pretty much confirmed. You're just an attention seeking idiot looking to stir the pot. The NCAA is not the solution. They are part of the overall damn problem. Yes, the BCS was flawed. The polling system was flawed. The CFB playoffs are flawed. It will not matter how many teams get to make the playoffs. It will always be flawed. If the NC is mythical to begin with, and any process to determine that NC is flawed, what's the point? You cannot fix that is not fixable. The reality is you care about being entertained more than the game itself.

You stuck your nose in a Bama thread and replied to a 4+ year post with such such an awe inspiring, thought provoking, and uber intelligent s**t post like "barf", and you're upset by the response you received? And you included some fun facts! So OSU is the second most winning team in the Big 12. Second being the focus here. I speculate the reason OSU is "second" (and not lower) is due to Texas being hot garbage for the past 10 years. It appears Bama broke them back in 2009-2010. You're welcome. Here's an OSU fun fact you forgot to include: OSU appears have won 1, one, conference title in the same 15 year time span. Just one. And that appears to be about 10 years ago? In fact, it may be the only conference title OSU has won in the past 40+ years.

Someday, maybe your team will go up big strong, and become something more than a "sub-par" team.

You seem to be confused with how college football is broken down. CFB is broken down into 4 divisions, not 3. D3 D2 Football Championship Series (f/k/a D1-AA) Football Bowl Series (f/k/a D1-A) Actually, it does not. He did say 20, not 15. So, your solution is to make the entire FBS division play less regular season games? Questions: Who is in charge of determining which teams are "sub-par"? Is that based on a season by season basis? Or is it a "one and done" situation? Once a "sub-par" team, always a "sub-par" team. I wonder how the "sub-par" teams will feel after they been labeled as such, and the huge loss income from not playing those games anymore. Good luck with that. Yes, laughable. As you said: We'd have answers at that point. We'd see if a Baylor or Oklahoma State could compete with Bama, Georgia or Michigan. We would then FINALLY have a TRUE NCAA champion. Something we have never had in D1/FCS football. (I am going to assume you meant D1/FBS)' A true NCAA championship? Nope. Do not see any representative from the PAC-12, Sunbelt, Mountain West, C-USA, etc.. in your scenario. Not to mention the NCAA has nothing to do with the FBS playoffs. A "true" National Champion is a unicorn, an unachievable desire. The only "answers" we would have are the ones you would be willing to accept. As far I am concerned, we already had the answer. It was called the BCS: 1 vs 2. Everything else was moot. I have long advocated for the Power conferences to tell the NCAA to go pound sand, leave, and create their own Association.

Bryce Young - AP Player of the Year https://www.alabamanews.net/2021/12/09/alabama-quarterback-bryce-young-voted-ap-player-of-the-year/ Will Anderson, Jr - Bronko Nagurski Award https://247sports.com/college/alabama/Article/Alabama-Football-LB-Will-Anderson-wins-2021-Bronko-Nagurski-Trophy-177551250/

The Heisman is generally considered an Offense award, and Bryce Young is definitely a contender. Without BY, Bama is watching the SECCG, not playing in it. You said it. It happened. Pick 6 to boot. Defense looked solid this game. So did the Oline. All the young guns starting to jell, and stepping up. Even if Bama does not win the NC this year, the foundation to next years team is looking bad ass.

ROLL TIDE ROLL!

That's part of it. Nobody but Kiffin knows what it means. But that does not stop people from speculating what it could mean. Tweets like that have the potential to blow up messages boards and Twitter with everybody trying to find the hidden meaning. Go look at some of the comments under his Tweet: "Are you going to be next LSU coach?" "That better be a recruiting trip and not a job interview...... " "so it’s happening" "Please...please be a sign!" FYI: He tweeted a Texas license plate 2 hours later. Again, no comments. Just a license plate.

Got to admit. Did not see this one coming. This could turn out to be a good hire. But $10M -15M a year? That's a hefty bet.

Which part?

$$$$$$$ It will. That's why Texas is willing to dump the Longhorn Network to join the SEC.

LSU is about to be caught flat footed. Jimbo is not happening. Napier is gone. Tucker is off the table. Aranda and Stoops are not sure things. What would a coaching search be without Kiffin trolling:

More like A++++ with some voodoo thrown in. Hoping UGA pulls a Kirby. The Bama o-line is just brutal. And I am still not impressed with O'Brien.

He wasn't a fan of it. However, in his defense, he did try to clarify his position: https://www.gatorsports.com/story/football/2021/11/03/dan-mullen-clarifies-recruiting-comments-decision-cancel-uf-media/6264407001/ “First, I’d like to touch on something for all the Gator Nation and all our great fans, something that was taken out of context in Monday’s press conference. As it pertains to recruiting, our staff recruits nonstop. We grind at recruiting all day every day,” Mullen said. “We're always recruiting and working the best to get great players that fit the Gator Standard and bring them here to our program. As I said on Monday, we just weren't going to get into the specifics of everything we do in recruiting and how we do all of that until after the season.” Now, if you need some depth in the shoe throwing portion of the game ....

Fulmer is/was corrupt, and drove the program off the road, into the ditch, and, with help from the boosters, off a cliff. Good place for it. The state of Tenn might be one of the most beautiful in your opinion, but UTenn is located in Knoxville. In my opinion, the Chattanooga area is much nicer.

"...Neyland stadium looks like a garbage truck workers convention ..." That guys rant is epic.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/32433425/jeremy-pruitt-lawyer-sets-oct-29-deadline-settlement-tennessee-says-volunteers-facing-lawsuit-not-met "(Pruitt Attorney Michael) Lyons added in his letter: "We have learned that UT upper administration was involved in or encouraged impermissible recruiting tactics. We have also learned that several prominent UT boosters have been and are involved in efforts to impermissibly recruit student athletes across multiple sports spanning multiple coaching regimes -- some of which are still in place."

Even Chizik brought in a handful of good players to Auburn. That does not mean both are a good HC. After losing to UK this year, the Ogre admitted he was "surprised" by the Kentucky run game. Seriously? That's Dick Juaron level of stupidity, and WTF-ness. And you think the LSU admin is making a mistake of getting rid of him. Was not a fan of the BOB hire from the beginning. Feel free to take the Oline coach with him. As Bills fans, are we surprised the Bama Oline is having issues?

Until a new HC is named, it won't matter if he stays or not. And being about halfway through the current season, naming a new HC now will create a bigger distraction for the team.

The Ogre is Chizik 2.0 for sure. Other than that one special year with a superstar transfer QB, neither coach did squat the other 4 years. However, with the lawsuit and other off the field behaviors (threatening boosters to a fight is always a good choice for job security!), I believe the Ogre was on a much shorter lease going into this year than anybody else realized.

I would not bet on it. https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/urban-meyer-back-to-college-dozens-of-ads-have-strong-opinions-on-possibility/ Bama OC Bill O'Brien to USC?

This bad.
