re: UPDATE..Bogus National Title claims: Alabama claims 18 but most are questionable
Posted by Merritt on 12/24/22 at 8:34 pm
So if the REAL legit MNCs only count from 1998 to present because words,
That’s 24 and Bama owns 6 of them. So… 25% of MNCs belong to Bama.
I’m ok with that. ...

In a 2 or 4 team format I completely agree. Though LSU is the only 2 loss MNC champion since the BCS/playoff era began, so they have that going for them

NCAA recognizes 4 for Texas and 2 for UT
If you want to go to Wikipedia or wherever UT pulls 7 out of their arse then that’s ok I guess, but then Texas has 9

re: What is it like being an Alabama fan?
Posted by Merritt on 8/23/22 at 9:08 pm
2009 was great, finally getting out of the abyss and destroying the Texas program who had been on a nice run was a lot of fun.
Expected to do well going forward, didn’t expect it to be as great as it has been. This run probably won’t ever be topped and being a part of it is something only Bam...

Right. So two teams who have won 10 each NCs since you last won your sole title won’t win a single one before you win all three. Got it.

No, 20 is perfect. We can split into SEC originals and SWC with all the newer arrivals. Plus Aggies will melt when they have to exchange their SEC patches for SWC ones.

re: NIL or Transfer Portal.. Which one is worse for college football??
Posted by Merritt on 6/24/22 at 8:34 am
Free agency without a salary cap is pretty bad, though even in professional sports there are contracts, and thus some consequences.
The current system is a disservice to these young adults, money with no real obligation is not how the rest of life will work out.
If this is the path going f...

I don't want to rank them but I think the winner will be one of these four.

Sure seems like we are headed in that direction. NFL model with 2 divisions, mostly north/west and sound/east. B10 rmerge with PAC and domer, we raid ACC.
I could see Clemson and any 3 of UNC/FSU/UVA/VT. Not sure what would happen to Miami in that scenario, but who cares. ...
