Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion

Easy to provide an objective path? LOL Please give your objective path so we can all be enlightened. Yeah...like the Massey Composite...(a compilation of 94 computer rankings and polls)...which would have had Georgia, Alabama, Michigan, and Cincinnati as #1-#4..and had no other G5 in the Top 25... ....

Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion

UTSA was CUSA Champ this year...played San Diego State in the bowl and lost 24-38. They would not have had any business being paired even with P5 runner ups like Georgia, Oklahoma State, Iowa, Oregon, etc. UTSA did not play a single team in Sagarin's Top 30....And Sagarin ranked them #62 In fact, UT...

Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion

LOL...circular logic ? Just what exactly in my statement is circular....That Georgia, as a non-champ,is a far better team then some conference champs ? Very simple, straightforward statement. I think, myself, that you react emotionally rather than logically.' If my statement is circular logic, your...

Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion

I agree that the champ will probably come from the top 15%, but it that is the case why can’t you take all conference champs and play them off? It wouldn’t matter and all the critics would be silenced. I don’t see a down side. Well...sometimes the best teams may not be the conference Champion....le...

Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion

Cincinnati got their shot because they went 13-0 in season against a fairly weak SOS..their signature win was Notre Dame, who a bad FSU took to overtime. Cincinnati only played that one Top 30 team (Sagarin). Teams like Ohio State (played 6) Alabama (6) Georgia (5), Michigan (6), Oklahoma State (5),...

Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion

You mention a FSU or Miami...and gawd, how we hated the Big Ten who were born with "football priviiege". Old blood programs that won national championships. How could we ever break through? A New Blood like FSU was can break in.... by being good...and by being good in more than in one flas...

Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion

in the current and any future environment....unless you pick a champ by lottery out of a hat. Or handicap. Give the weaker team 10 points. Team strength is distributed, as most things are, on an arc of a Bell Curve....There will be 15% of the teams that are the strongest, 15% the weakest, and 70% th...

Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion

All teams DO have a path...and that path is long and winding and not for those that demand "Justice" meaning "I want things my way". The path involves decades of developing an athletic department base, fans, boosters, facilities, money raising etc. The path includes the developme...

Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion

He basically said...if you pick the top four in the country and play them against each other....and some games are lopsided...well, watch the the bowls instead. The problem...Alabama and Georgia would have beaten any teams put before them......Cincinnati and Michigan lost the game a month before it ...

Happy New Year guys....looking forward to another season on the board... Coming up on a "challenge year"....long time anticipated. My next birthday puts me at 76. Not a propitious number in my family. My dad died at 76, my grandfather died at 76, his brother died at 76, a great aunt on my ...

Re: There Ain’t No ‘WE’ in ‘ME’……….

A stint in the Corps would bring that stuff to a halt. At least 50 some years ago, in my time, the self was submerged and you were a disciplined cog of a fighting unit.

There was no "me"....

Re: No Clue At All………..

To fly a team on a chartered plane, haul equipment all the way to California....only to be notified 4 hours before kickoff that UCLA wasn't playing..is really tough....the practices involved, the giving up of Christmas with family, the cost to the school...give them the win for a forfeit... They gav...
