The Big 10 needs for Alabama and Clemson to win big in the first round. Right now the Big 10 and the Pac are looked at as the lesser leagues. Notre Dame getting schooled would make a league championship more valuable.
Urban to teach a character and leadership class at OSU :laugh: maybe he has new tips that he didnt share with his UF players
Meyer had a choice between ND or UF his credibility after his tenure at Utah was very strong, their is plenty of programs in the SEC with more problems than what UF had with Meyer. UF was going to kick Newton out of college instead he announced he was going to transfer and Auburn gladly ended up with him.Same with Chris Carter's son who was kicked out of OSU only to be scooped up by Saban. It's the culture of the SEC : do whatever it takes to win.I think he realized he could succeed without that type of athlete..he had the credibility to go out and get elite players without checkered pasts. I think in taking over Florida he didn't have the same recognition that he has now and took a lot of chances on players. He didn't have to do that at OSU. He also probably learned a thing or two about managing his program and players better.
However with that said, this wasn't thought out very well
Why would the ACC or Big 12 be looked st any different than the Big 10?
Yes i understand that. What I don't know is what would Oklahoma record be if they played Ohio State's schedule. I think there is a good chance Ohio State would be 13-0 if they played Oklahoma schedule.
Eight. But only after FBS gets whittled down to four conferences. The Bowling Greens and East Carolinas of college football are playing a fool's game.They should both be in. Playoff should be 6 teams
I think his arrest record at UF probably speaks volumes to the character of his program
It is pretty well documented his players at Florida were out of control and Urban turned a blind eye. Clearly he got out at the right time and there were rumblings before he left that he lost control of the program with the type of player he had been recruiting. Obviously something changed, didn't recruit as many "problem childs" like he did at UF. He didn't have near rule problems and didn't turn a blind eye like he used to.
I don't think he did anything that wrong in the ZS situation but you cant deny he ran a shady and dirty program at UF and hiring him to teach about character is a joke at best
Which conference gets killed Big 12 or Pac?
I'd have to think the Pac will need to drop some teams if we go to the super conferences bc I envision them taking on some Big 12 teams. It would be cool to see Texas and OU end up in the Big 10. I would also drop schools like Baylor from the new P4 conference.

So you believe Urban to be evil because he had some teenagers in his program that did some dumb (perhaps even illegal) things.
What a childish view.
Wrongdoers deserve the punishment for doing wrong.
Or do you believe every leader of a group is responsible for the conduct of each of their members?
The ACC is Clemson. They go undefeated and they are in. The rest of the ACC is way down this year. Why is a one loss Oklahoma in over a one loss Ohio State? Is Texas really that good? If Oklahoma gets torched by Alabama then there would be an argument for the Big 10 champion to be considered better than the Big 12 champion. Overall the Big 10 would be seen as the superior overall conference. Playing a 9 game conference schedule should count for something. Oklahoma doesn't have a signature win on their entire schedule.
I think the only team that can truly threaten Bama year in and year out in the West will be A+M. Jimbo is building something. The East is pretty much a bunch of meh teams outside of Georgia.
Six is nice because you can keep the process the way it is now, but it allows the OPPORTUNITY for all five conferences to make the playoff AND a Notre Dame or additional team. The way it is now guarantees that at least once conference gets left out, which was really dumb to agree to for the non-SEC conferences. It also retains the importance of the regular season. You can afford to have one off week, but not two.
This would be awesome:
Alabama - 1st round bye
Clemson - 1st round bye
#3 Notre Dame vs. #6 Ohio State
#4 Oklahoma vs. #5 Georgia
I like the bye game incentive, as it makes being undefeated and/or dominant in the regular season meaningful. There's still a desire to be ranked in top 2.
Two yes, 3 may be a stretch.Saban says there should be no expansion ? let’s be real, Bama could have three losses every year and still make it
I don't think you can say a team would go 13-0 when the got manhandled by a completely average team. Sour grapes. OSU has nobody to blame but themselves. Two years in a row they have had embarrassing losses by huge margins.... you cant complain when that happens.
On OSU's best day they can compete with anybody, however for some reason they have had two disappearing acts in back to back years. That just cant happen and I would look into why that has happened. Maybe it is some sort of a preparation issue.
