Counterpoint - how many shitty coaches get extensions and raises because they "made the playoffs"?

What happens to the bowl games? While six bowls are incorporated into the CFP rotation, roughly a dozen other games that traditionally host power league teams will see their participants slip out of the top 25.

As reported at Yahoo Sports this spring, conference executives have been discussing the creation of a 10-bowl lineup that pits power conference programs against one another in a deal where the media rights would be controlled by the leagues and not the bowls.

What kind of shitty acronym work is this?

Whoever it is will be hilarious and terrible.
Their coaching searches are must see TV, though.
They'll start with a Bear Bryant/Tom Landry/Andy Reid Voltron coach, and end up with a coordinator from Kansas.

At some point, most of your athletic budget will be earmarked for paying men NOT to coach.
Please proceed.

Not everybody had the luxury of working with budgets of $30 million to $40 million (or more!) when building out their college football rosters for 2026. Most programs had a ton of work to do during the January transfer window and had to move quickly while spending their money carefully.
No matter how much the market has changed in the past few years, successful transfer recruiting still comes down to sharp talent evaluation and the ability to identify under-the-radar or undervalued players capable of becoming good fits. And when more than 7,000 Division I transfers become available in a two-week window, lots of good players are going to slip through the cracks.

It's time once again for us to celebrate the September surprises. This is our annual all-sleeper team we put together four weeks into the season, composed of players who did not make ESPN's top 100 transfer rankings but have made strong first impressions in nonconference play.
The squad we put together last September featured unexpected Ole Miss stars Trinidad Chambliss and Kewan Lacy. Our 2024 team had a transfer QB on the rise at Vanderbilt named Diego Pavia and seven future NFL draft picks.
This year's September surprises include more hidden gems from the Group of 6, FCS and Division II among the many transfers making the most of their new opportunities early on this season.
