The Little 12 and the ACC should only get one each. The SEC and Big should get 4 each. That leaves one spot for the Domers and the charity spot for Boise or whoever. I don't agree with the OP. There is not a dominant team in college football this year. Everyone has warts. Michigan proved...

The Big 12 and the ACC should both only get their conference winner in. Compared to the two real conferences, their SOS are a joke.

Good gravy. This season. Coming off a bye with a reeling Maryland team, I gotta believe we can cobble together a win there. I have less confidence about a reeling Nebbie team who may be playing for relevancy and their coach on Black Friday. Nebbie is better than their record.

To be clear, yes, you would have to divide the divisions up somehow the first year. Probably based on the performance the previous year. But, after that, the divisions would change each year with 4 teams swapping out from each division each year based upon performance on the field. After the...

Just to be mentioned in the same sentence as Alford in a Douche-a-Meter conversation is incredibly damning

Defense has a MICed up helmet as well.

So, I see three obvious, but solvable, problems with college football: 1. There are too many teams. They can't play each other enough to get to a merits based playoff system like the NFL has, so we have to rely upon a group of humans rather than play on the field. Committees and polls are...

In a mythical world, yes.

Um, why are we still signaling given green dot helmets?

Agreed. If anything, they should get even more granular and have 4 divisions of 4 or 5 teams. Division titles are a big deal in the NFL, and there are 8 of them each year. Give teams something to play for other than just being one of the two best teams in the very large conference. Axes and...

There is certainly room for gray in this scenario. But, even in a place as dysfunctional as Nebraska they understand the analogy that when you hire the chef you have to let him choose the ingredients. If the food turns out to be garbage you fire the chef, you don't try to tell him how to cook...

If you leave out a couple games, this is a no brainer. But, unfortunately, we have to count all the games.

Matt Rhule does not come across as a guy who would be managed like that. Nebbie went out and hired a guy who has run a number of different programs successfully, and had a sour cup of coffee in the NFL. I would be shocked if he took directions on how he staffs his program, runs things, calls...

This has been discussed, but a lot of people on the ground here have said that the AD had no role in this at all. I don't see megadonors getting involved at the OC level midseason. Its too much of a micro approach. I honestly think after the UCLA game, and after seeing how his golden boy...

He also walked into Assembly Hall on his first day on the job and told 16k people that Purdue sucks and he was going to win. Fortune favors the bold in this sport.

That is exactly why the local media is questioning whether this is desperation. Rhule presented himself as a process guy. A program builder. No panic. Its about direction. Development. Etc. In other words, he is a version of KF, and I mean that as a compliment. Is there anything less KF...

I probably feel a bit differently about Rhule. Not much. I think he is a good fit and unlike Frost, is an adult and a leader. I also don't discount what he did at a very broken Baylor program and he turned things around at Temple, for what that is worth. Obviously, he fell flat on his face...

BTW, I see Iowa beating Maryland and then splitting the Nebbie/bowl game. 8-5. That's football.

Interesting move by Rhule to fire his OC and bring in a guy off the street who will immediately be calling the plays. The Omaha radio guys are debating whether its desperation or just realization that the current OC sucks. Either way, the transition will have bumps. Holgorsen is legit. No...
