The NCAA is getting pushed around by courts. Its not a shock that they are being fairly deferential.

I think the sixth year thing should be subsiding now. Covid season *should* be out of the system now. I think a lot of the sixth year guys had taken advantage of that. I think the NCAA should just do a blanket "five years to play four seasons" rule. You get a redshirt if you want. No waivers. At all. If you can't play four seasons in five years due to injury, I'm sorry but that is life. Its time to get a job at Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

Morgantown - "Take Me Home, Country Roads" LSU - "Callin' Baton Rouge" Alabama - "Dixieland Delight" Tennessee - "Rocky Top" Minnesota - "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"

I knew Michigan was very insecure and doesnt respond well to Notre Dame getting headlines but what the heck lmaooo

There is maybe 5 or 6 bluebloods. Notre Dame isn't more important than the others. If Ohio State, Michigan, Texas, Alabama, or USC want to go independent, I'm sure rules would be put in place to address that as well. There are plenty of reasons people don't like Notre Dame. The world revolving around them isn't one of them, no matter what people try to claim lmao.

Conference championship games should be gone. You play about half the teams in your conference now. Its a total crapshoot.

"make college football a !@#!$ knockoff version of the NFL" is not a winning formula lmao

What are you talking about?

Past performance? Brother they made the national championship game last year.

Eh, financially sure. There is much to be desired there but it is the brand so it is what it is.

They finished with a higher strength of schedule than multiple p4 at-large playoff teams this year, with a relatively down schedule. The issue regarding a conference is not having other schools shill on your behalf (for their benefit and your own, appearances mean money). In the case of the SEC and ACC, they also happen to be TV partners with ESPN...you can take a guess who they want in the playoffs lol

I do trust my eyes lmao

Do you know how old the guys are who played in those games are now? At the old end, about 35. At the young end, like 24 lol

Yes lol I'm pretty sure. The AP, the coaches, all the different statistical rankings, and even the committee would have Notre Dame at 10-2 or better against that schedule lol

Not really. They lost by 60 points.
