I think recruiting is ruining the sport. The best players go to the same schools that they believe will give them the best shot of making the NFL. I don’t like the idea of putting restrictions on it, but maybe they should only allow something like 3 5*s per class, 7 4*s and so on. But even that has a lot of flaws. I don’t think it’s the playoff, it’s how you get players, but I don’t know how you fix the system.

I think you're right.

One of the reasons they added the BCS was because the perception was that the ACC was weak, and Florida State was running roughshod/undefeated through the conference every season.

Now Clemson has just replaced Florida State, and the same concerns remain.

It's not the system, it's that a handful of these teams keep repeating their success in-conference without a unified scheduling process across the board.

The premise sounds nice, but it won’t work in reality. Recruiting services which are already subjective will adjust accordingly and nothing will change.

Sorry, but this is a pretty danged stupid take.

Until very recently, schools could give as many scholarships as they could afford. All the big schools signed kids just to keep them from going other places.

The talent is more evenly distributed now that it has ever been in the history of college football.
