Chaos Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 19 hours ago, Tabe said: My guy took a demotion to a different school in the same conference. What a backhand to UCLA, which somehow views itself as a should-be-power in football despite NEVER doing anything in football. It's an interesting middle finger from Chip to UCLA. There were rumblings that he was all but fired before the end of the season, and then they didn't (I'm guessing available coaching landscape). Now, it's even more dire for UCLA because the coaching carousel is all but shut down for the year now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 If there’s anything to be learned from Kelly leaving UCLA and Elliott leaving Georgia State, it’s that you should definitely FIRE your fucking coach when you have the chance. Guys are not going to coach out obvious lame duck years anymore. Elliott will now get paid comparable money to be an SEC position coach and not have the stink of “fired G5 coach” next time he wants to go out for a HC job. Hafley leaving BC was the same deal, too, really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Man, not counting things where a guy gets fired for off-field shit, this feels like the latest we've ever had the carousel keep spinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, I get his family and maybe some of his former players refusing to admit to themselves that Paterno just didn't care what was happening at his facilities by one of his assistants, but dear God everyone else needed to move past "but Joe won a lot we love him" a long fucking time ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 So when I heard that the playoff format would be a 5+7 Proposal on this 12 team format, I was completely confused. After hearing what it is, I am less confused but but still weird as hell. So it is the 5 highest ranking conference champions and then the 7 highest ranking teams that didn't win are included. How the seeding of 1-12 is set up I have no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the seeding of 1-12 is set up I have no idea The 4 highest ranked champs get the top 4 seeds, regardless of where they’re ranked. (So, if the Big 12 champ is ranked 7th but they’re the third highest champs, they’re seeded at 3 regardless of who’s in front of them.) The fifth highest champ is guaranteed a spot in the field but not a seed, so they could be slotted anywhere from 5-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fifth highest champ is guaranteed a spot in the field but not a seed, so they could be slotted anywhere from 5-12. And practically will almost certainly always be 12. It seems highly unlikely a G5 champ will ever be ranked ahead of a P4 champ, and in the unlikely event that does happen, you've gotta figure it'll be a year where a conference all beats up each other and a shock mediocre team wins a tie break and pulls an upset in the conference championship game.

hammerva Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 the other question is how are the bowl games figured out. are they going to take the last 10 or so bowl and rename them for the playoffs? I mean on one case it would cool if the Pop Tarts Bowl is a first round game but who is going to care about eating a mascot when you are playing for a title. And there is no way in hell anyone is getting mayo poured on them for advancing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 (edited) feels like you could thin the herd for the lower bowl games if the first round playoff games aren't replacing some of the bowls or some nutjob will try to get bowl games matching up first round losers in a meaningless consolation bowl in Charleston Edited February 22 by Cobra Commander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 They really need to do some conference re-naming. Do any of the conferences with numbers in them have a matching number of teams? There are California schools in the Atlantic Coast Conference and Massachusetts is in Mid-America. Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria! The ACC should really change to the All Coast Conference, even though Pitt and Louisville are in states not on the coast, makes more sense than being the Atlantic Coast Conference with schools on the Pacific coast. I also never understood what the Atlantic 10 never changed to correspond with the number of teams in the conference, why hang onto 10? Atlantic 15 has a nice ring to it.

Log Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) I mean, I was 11 or 12 (I'm very old now) the last time the Big Ten had 10 teams. The Big 8 at least had the decency to update it's name when it added four more teams, but now the Big 12 is out here with like 16 teams?!?!?

Cobra Commander Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 To be fair, Amherst is in the left wing of Massachusetts geographically so I’m pretty sure it’s closer to Albany than Boston. The MAC was closer to the ocean when Temple was a member. Of course it’s possible UMass might fare better in basketball in the MAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funniest time was when the Big Ten had twelve and the Big 12 had ten. But none of the conferences have changed their name in several decades except the weird thing where the seven schools that left the Big East bought the name on the way out the door. (Technically even the Big 8 to Big XII wasn't a name change. Legally on paper both the SWC and the Big 8 folded and the Big XII was a brand new conference.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Statement from Johnny Manziel Quote "After careful thought and consideration I will be humbly removing myself from the Heisman trophy ceremony until @ReggieBush gets his trophy back, doesn’t sit right with my morals and values that he can’t be on that stage with us every year. Reggie IS the Heisman trophy. Do the RIGHT thing @NCAA the ball is in your court." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Loving the implication that Arch is such a hardcore gamer that, if he can play as himself in the college football video game, he will care less about playing actual football. Hilarious that someone in the Manning camp thought this would be a good thing to leak to the press. Just say you wanted more money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
