That was a pretty good read.
So, today's National Signing Day, and the SEC has the top four recruiting classes and nine of the top 20 (compared to three Big 10, two ACC, three Pac 12 and two Big 12).So, what makes other conferences think expansion would lessen SEC domination of the playoff? Unless they hope to rig it to give conference winners an automatic bid.
NC's top QB and top OL had verbally committed to Florida State and NC State, respectively. Both changed their mind and signed with UNC, which just recently changed coaches (re-hiring Mack Brown after he had left for Texas years ago).Just a reminder that while verbal commitments are wonderful, celebration should be kept at a minimum until the name is on the dotted line.Maybe this happens more in football than basketball? I have no idea.
I am reasonably certain that an expansion of the playoffs would guaranty a representative from each of the conferences. (Not necessarily the conference champion though.)
Maybe.If the selection committee's stated goal continues to be "the best teams," there won't be a rep from each conference. There'd be no Pac 12 team this year, since none ranked in the top 8.If the other conferences wave the white flag, admit they can't compete with the SEC and institute a system that guarantees it, then yes, it'll guarantee it.
I mean, the NCAA basketball tournament doesn't include the 68 best teams. I wouldn't think it would be a great tragedy if the expanded playoffs included someone from every P5 conference.
This is an interesting conversation but I gotta run.Big party at the house to watch the Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl.It's been a tradition in the MU82 family for decades!
What are ya'll thoughts on the Servpro First Responder Bowl announcing its not going to play in the Servpro First Responder Bowl? Personally, I think that if I were a member of Servpro First Responder Bowl's team, and had spent all year in the weight room and on the practice field with Servpro First Responder Bowl, I'd be pissed. What a selfish decision, regardless of the money or safety at play for Servpro First Responder Bowl. I'd like to see Servpro First Responder Bowl tell Servpro First Responder Bowl's teammates that the Servpro First Responder Bowl doesn't matter and that the season is over.
It doesn't matter - it's just an exhibition game. All bowl games are worthless outside of the 2 semi's and the national championship.
Not all, but many. Maybe I am bias from going to so many Rose Bowls, but that is a special game
