I've got that same houndstooth hat somewhere in the depths of my closet. In 2006, I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Me too - as I recall, the University gave them to the first X number of students at the Ole Miss game. It wasn’t until some time later they sold them in stores. HAD to have one.

Nick Saban on CFP Expansion: "I don't see the logic in it"

Saban noted that an expansion of teams in the CFP would likely reduce the importance of bowl games, something that he has argued since its inception.

Bowl games have already lost importance … might as well make things more important for few more teams and cut down on opt outs

I am not a big fan of Danny Kanell but he said instead of giving the guys bowl swag for attending the bowl game they should give each of them 10-20k for playing in the bowl game. I kind of agree as it may entice players to play the game.

But in the end I feel there are way to many bowl games and just not the national interest to watch them all.

Interest used to be there but not anymore. I watched less bowl games this year than ever before . Covid cancellations didn’t help either but it is the playoffs or bust pretty much now. Sad really

I like the 12 teams and 1-4 get byes

How do you determine who is worth the 10-20K? All-conference, or starters, or kicker. Who? Could anybody on the 2 deep opt out only to pick up some cash?

I would have gladly taken seven years at the time. I also would have gladly signed off on two SEC titles or just one natty.

His comment was every player that is on the roster and attends gets the 10k or 20k.

Only get money in place of the free items they give if you opt in and attend.

I doubt most bowls could afford that. Those swag bags are limited to 500 dollars in goods, I think .

If they are the four best teams I don’t see the problem with it

Do you want to see more cheez it, mayo, , Texas bowl matchups with players not playing ?

Either way Saban said as soon as the CFP started bowls would lose importance. He was right and it has only gotten worse
