re: Alabama Class of 2014 Recruiting MEGATHREAD (Goodnight sweet Prince)

Check this out regarding next year's move to the playoff system:

Starting this week, I'll include a section that will show what the new big-six bowl lineup (including playoff matchups) would hypothetically look like if the new postseason format were already in place. For this exercise, I'll use the current BCS standings in place of the forthcoming selection committee's rankings.

Sugar: No. 1 Alabama (SEC champ) vs. No. 4 Ohio State (Big Ten champ)
Rose: No. 2 Florida State (ACC champ) vs. No. 3 Oregon (Pac-12 champ)
Fiesta: No. 5 Stanford (at-large) vs. No. 16 Fresno State (Group of Five)
Cotton: No. 6 Baylor (displaced Big 12 champ) vs. No. 9 Auburn (at-large)
Orange: No. 7 Clemson (ACC replacement) vs. No. 8 Missouri (SEC/Big Ten/Notre Dame)
Chick-fil-A: No. 10 Oklahoma (at-large) vs. No. 11 Miami (at-large)

• The Sugar and Rose bowls are scheduled to host the first semifinals next year, with No. 1 Alabama getting the first choice of geographic placement.

• Big 12 champ Baylor, displaced from the Sugar Bowl, would make the most sense in the Cotton Bowl.

• Clemson would replace ACC champ Florida State in the Orange Bowl, and Missouri, as the highest-ranked available team from among the SEC, Big Ten and Notre Dame, would get the other Orange Bowl spot.

• Stanford and Fresno State (the highest-ranked team from the Group of Five conferences) would make the most geographic sense in the Fiesta Bowl.

• Oklahoma would be placed in the Chick-fil-A Bowl to avoid a conference rematch with Baylor. Auburn would be placed in a traditional SEC bowl, and Miami would be placed in a traditional ACC bowl.

So the #1 team gets to pick the location of the national semi-final? I didn't know that. Of course we'd pick New Orleans over Pasadena. That would be awesome.

Zach Whitley is 100% committed. TAMU has been selling him on proximity to home and early playing time. Oddly enough, the proximity to home is working against TAMU. Whitley says that there are influences in his inner circle guy that he wants together away from. He is graduating in December and plans on being an early enrollee.

Also forgot to mention he is changing his OV to December and isn't taking anymore official visits.

From the UGA recruiting thread

** ‘Kwon Calls It? … An Ohio high school coach was on the field during warm-ups for the Ohio State-Penn State game Saturday night along with one of his players who was invited for an unofficial visit. Suddenly, the coach realizes he’s standing next to Raekwon McMillian and strikes up a conversation with the five-star linebacker. “Maybe I caught him in a moment of jubilation, but he told me, quote, ‘I’m definitely a Buckeye, man,’” the coach said. “He just had this glowing look about him and was saying how much he loves the place. He said, quote, ‘This is where I’ll be playing next year.’” We heard from a different source Luke Fickell spent several hours before the game on Saturday rolling out the scarlet-carpet treatment for McMillan and his parents. It sure sounds like it worked.
