Fabregas is great, but he doesn't do the things Xavi does. More likely Mata would step into that position, or another one of Spain's young crop of midfielders that are nearing the cusp of breaking out.

Not sure why you think they made this "fit" or that the scientists, in general, seek to make data "fit." They had a model for what they believed happend, and then sought to test if that was true. That's research 101! It's not like they're manipulating data. I think this is hard to appreciate, but the signal for the Higgs particle could have been found in a lot of places. Heck, they could have found multiple signals for all anyone knew. The fact that it matches the theory is a good thing, and will hopefully help lead to many others.

England has good players, they just don't develop them. All of the countries you mention have leagues where most of the players are citizens, unlike the EPL, and their national teams do a lot more experimenting with line-ups. England plays the same 15 guys all the time.

My wife says the same thing about her family.

I don't think a new plan needs to replicate the current selection of conference championships. The Pac12 was a terrible match up, for example. UCLA had no business being in that game. I would rather see rematches between good teams ( eg LSU vs Alabama ) than I would for for the BCS or other bowl games. If we're going to have rematches between conference foes then lets do it in the conference and leave the bowls to generate new match ups.

Is there any news as to what league they'd play in as a varsity team?
