Money is the cause of much of this no doubt. But fans have clamored for playoffs for decades. With that those with the most power were never going to be satisfied getting shorted their seats at the table and their dollars. People are complaining about the top 12, but it’s also the seeding that matters too. That won’t change. If you expand it to 16, you’re introducing more into the argument. And you still have the issue of too many teams with too few games in unbalanced schedules. With 16, you’ll have to do something with the conference championships because now there’s no byes. Right now you get people arguing over Miami versus Notre Dame because they won a coin flip game late on a FG in the first game of the year. Is it the best 12 teams or those with the seasons? I’d say Texas and Notre Dame are both top 12 right now based on the available information. Theres more of a debate whether Notre Dame and Texas have had one of the 12 (or 10) best seasons. In my opinion they have. With each attempt to get the playoffs right, you give away something that was meaningful over the 100 plus years of college football that made it a special thing. Bowl games and conference championships meant something. You know what season was perfect? Texas-USC. Last year Ohio State didn’t even win their conference but were national champs. Not making the conference championship likely helped that effort. The super conferences are the only way to get this consistent. You can schedule as you like in non-conference cause advancement is not dependent upon it. You can then somewhat balance the conference schedules. Then the divisions within the conference determines who advances. It sounds terrible, but that’s the path.

Wonder why it took them this long. He should have been one of the first options.

If there is no increase to the total pool of money from which we can pay the extra players I agree the intramural fields is where we should recruit!

Also might be able to hang on to more of those kids thinking about leaving as well

LFG 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Happier with him going to Ohio State than Oregon. F- Oregon

Both conferences might have had a little help from the networks.

Hence the more inclusive playoff slate is necessary! 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

You'll have cam coleman for 10 million a year while Arch gets mauled and you're gonna love it

There's a difference between using the money allocated to getting IOL in the portal and having that money already there sitting and just getting to use more in the portal cause you went below budget in HS recruiting. What bobby was saying is that with the latest NIL offers at HS guys they weren't tapping into the portal budget they already have in plan.

What women's sports will be added? Not just Texas. This will require cutting mens sports or adding women's.

Really fun back.

Been told multiple times by other mods that these are completely separate pools.

Lame just like not holding a spring game.

I'm with you.

Well, more importantly like stated above, it’s like another spring of practices to teach a young team and fix problems going into a new year.

Totally

Doubt OSU will be better next year...they lose 2 defensive players in first 5 picks NFL draft and another terrific LB. Tate WR a 1st round pick Also think they lose several olineman---but sure they will be top 5 team.

Big time stuff! Atkinson is going to be a monster in college.

He’s also 1 of 3 finalists for the Gatorade National POY, along with Jackson Cantwell and Landen Willis- Callis.

As a fan, I love bowl games. I watch every one of them that I can. I love college football. Before you know it, it will be April, and I’ll be watching reruns of Toledo Techs spring game. It all means something to me.

Let's just not talk about OSU right now lol let's try and enjoy the off season

actually relieved he didn't select Texas. More money to get needs at more important positions.

There's ~$1.5M more to go spend on portal offensive linemen. Fine with me.
