Peach Bowl
Posted by saban4prez17 on 12/5/16 at 3:03 pm
This year's Peach Bowl is essentially a home game for Alabama. Will be surprised if 1/4th of the stadium is Washington fans..mainly because I have never seen a Washington fan, and it is so far for them. I am excited to see how this Washington offense stacks up to Alabama's top tier defense. What are some of your score predictions?

Playoffs

Do you think CFP playoff committee should switch to 8 teams?
I like the 4 team playoff way more but they keep pushing the narrative about 8 teams. I think we are getting closer to 8 teams because teams are getting "left out". I really hope we keep the 4 team system and not switch too fast. I feel like Ohio State and Penn State are both deserving but there was no way to have the both in.

A little late but Thanksgiving and College football
Posted by saban4prez17 on 11/29/16 at 3:33 pm
Is it too much to have collegiate athletes playing on Thanksgiving? I feel like Thanksgiving games for NFL is understandable but in the NCAA, these are just kids. I assume it is probably challenging for families trying to get together. There has not been much of a stir about it though. I just feel it might not be fair to the families.
Late post- LSU fans
Posted by saban4prez17 on 11/16/16 at 12:46 pm
I recently went to LSU for the Alabama vs LSU game to stay with some buddies whom are all LSU fans. I was surprised to find that almost every LSU fan I encountered was nice and welcoming.
My buddies had warned me about the fans being harsh on Bama fans and I was the only Bama fan at the tailgate but everyone was very welcoming. Sure, there were some jokes and making fun of me here and there, but overall I was shocked at how nice everyone was from beginning to end. I sat in an LSU section and people were not trash talking or anything, just normal conversation. It was a pleasant surprise. Although they would not stop talking about "Bama Privilege".

Did College Football Playoff Committee mess up?
Posted by saban4prez17 on 11/16/16 at 12:39 pm
How is it that Michigan did not fall a spot after losing to Iowa? Should Louisville have gotten into the top 4?
I think Michigan should have AT LEAST dropped to 4 or 5 after losing to an unranked Iowa team. Most teams drop at least a few spots for losing to a ranked team, I just do not see how this makes sense.
Thoughts?

Are coaches paid too much?
Posted by saban4prez17 on 10/24/16 at 5:18 pm
Do we as a nation invest too much in collegiate sports? The ncaa makes a ridiculous amount of money every year and it is either distributed via salaries, equipment, or other expenses.
Could we find a way to distribute revenue in order to help fund more opportunities within our schools?
I find it crazy how the average tuition for a University in Germany, for example, is about 500 euros per semester, while ours in the United States is well over thousands per semester. That is not including books, housing, or food.

Will the SEC ever not be dominate?
Posted by saban4prez17 on 9/28/16 at 3:40 pm
It is obvious that the SEC is the most dominate conference in the NCAA. But do any of yall think there will be a time when they are not?
More and more teams are getting recognition on a national scale like never before seen. 5 years ago I would have never guessed that Houston would be in the top 10. I would love to see the SEC stay as dominate as they have been but it look as if it will be harder and harder to maintain that dominance.

Is the NCAA Benefiting too much?
Posted by saban4prez17 on 9/15/16 at 2:52 pm
Does the NCAA benefit too much off of college athletes? The NCAA almost topped 1 Billion dollars in revenue in 2014 (USA Today). That is a lot of money for the hard work from college athletes whom likely will not ever earn money for the sports they play.
I know that there are ways in which players are paid such as scholarships, free room and board, and also there are players illegally paid. Should the NCAA find a standardized way to pay these athletes or would it be too complicated? Because some schools, for instance like in the SEC make more money than say, schools in the Big South so it would be hard to form some sort of payment system.
I personally know athletes who have such little time that there is no way for them to have a job and play a sport at the same time. Some say "well it is their choice" and yes I understand that but playing a sport is a full time job now a days. Just want to start some dialogue and get some thoughts.

Football Effect
Posted by saban4prez17 on 9/12/16 at 1:58 pm
The worst time of year is over and football is finally back :cheers:. College football's effect in America is without a doubt astonishing. Just this past week, the "Battle at Bristol" game with Tennessee and Virginia Tech made front news in France!! Other countries cannot fathom how we as fans can gather over 100,000 people to watch amateurs play a sport. Those countries just do not understand.
They do not understand is how much football brings us together, how much we love the sport, and how much it helps us escape the harsh realities of life on occasion. We only have football about half of the year and the other half is spent anxiously waiting for our beloved sport to be back. We even spend our time reading reports about how players are doing, recruiting, and going to spring games.
When looking at it from the outside, it may seem crazy to other countries but they just do not understand our passion for the sport! :usa:
