I don’t really understand the conference consolidation when the expanded playoffs have more access

The acc was a joke because you didn’t have the top teams playing each other during season

Marshall is the symptom of an epidemic that’s going to kill the sport.

Teams turning over that much of their roster, I mean seriously they can’t recruit enough players to fill all the holes. And they may not be done losing them.

They’re just the first team that happens to. They may not be the last one this year, much less going forward.

Texas may win it finally but it will only be due to payroll


It’s always been due to payroll. Whoever paid the most.

This age of football was all brought on by Nick Saban buying all the recruits and making them feel entitled. Then when he didn't play them they wanted out. So now instead of him getting nailed by the ncaa we have the NIL and Portal to protect players from it again and allowing single coaches to control everything. Meanwhile he jumps ship and get praised as the greatest for ruining the game.

Oh so Texas was being a good old boy and finally decided to open up the pocketbook.

I’m pretty annoyed with having to watch 4 more top-10 matchups where the loser goes home, followed by another 4 top-10 matchups where the loser goes home, followed by another round and then one more to get a national championship. It just sucks.

I don’t necessarily disagree but at the same time you’re not having to watch anything.

You could make a better argument that Cam Newton paved the way for the acceptance of the mercenary “student” athlete.

Yes, everything in college football is because of Alabama.

Texas is just another 'Cutty Sark' away from mediocrity again. Enjoy your success while it lasts... Or until you all play a tougher schedule.

Oh texas still sucks no doubt. You’ve just been gifted cupcake schedules back to back years but were exposed when you lost to the worst Georgia team in five years twice
