All seniors staying and playing ,no transfer portals leaving and all NFL prospects still playing since they can still win a National Championship? I doubt we'll have opt outs for teams in the playoffs 1 1 I Don't Agree With What I Posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a hunch this won't last. With the the realignment and loss of the PAC12 it's hard to imagine they'll guarantee 2 spots to non power conferences 1 I Don't Agree With What I Posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyBT Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I also don’t think they’ll stop at 12 teams. FCS has 24 in their playoff after being at 16 for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then you had 8-10 teams in a conference and everyone played each other. Not possible now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually there will be a slot for the sec east and west division champ. Same for the big 18 or whatever it is. Again the spots will go up higher than 12 eventually too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyBT Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Michigan dismantles Washington. Pure joy to watch. And to think there are people that still think FSU should have been in just because they were undefeated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mspart Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 FSU should have been in. Unfortunately they lost a good portion of their players so they did not look good against Georgia. The Dawgs lost horribly. I am saddened by that. It should have been a more competitive game but wasn't. The Dawgs just couldn't get offense going. I do not like Mich but kudos to them for a great season. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyBT Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I’ll take the four best teams over the four most deserving teams every time. FSU was not one of the top four best teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrestlingRasta Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Michigan v Alabama was the most high level, competitive game of the entire bowl season. There’s a reason they all (committee) get together to watch all the games and discuss what they are seeing. The committee did their job well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mspart Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 That was a good game. Ended wrong of course, but a very good game! mspart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrestlingRasta Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 You have to respect the Harbaugh tree, between a father and two sons running the championship table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offthemat Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 While not a fan of either team, I appreciated the game, and though it was my opinion that Michigan would win, an uninjured Wash. QB and RB would have tightened the game, I believe. Now Saban has retired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mspart Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Offthemat is correct. Without those injuries, I think it would have been a much tighter game. Penix came out with the flak unit on and I don't remember seeing him with that. Johnson was fairly ineffective with his foot injury, yet they played him. But that is the way of it. Saban leaving the Tide? Yes, not sure what this does for Alabama in the long run but usually a coach change is not good near term. Someone on the radio today said that of the years that Saban was at Alabama, everyone that played for him not including the new guys played on a national championship team. That is saying something. He will be missed. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Harbaugh first got to Michigan he came off as a very stuffy. Very unlikeable. I believe it really affected his coaching and his teams. But he seems to have made a transformation for the good. It has showed up in his team's success. But I believe he will be heading back to the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mspart Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Oh for sure. I wouldn't doubt that the portal and NIL were considerations for Saban. I know he didn't like NIL and I doubt he really like the portal thing much either. mspart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
