What if this is the ultimate troll job by Saban? What if Ruiz is silently committed to Bama? What if he and Saban are planning a Signing Day Troll Job Flip just to punch back at Harbaugh? Guys, its a FUUUUUUCCCKKKKKIIIIIIIIINGGGGG TRAP! Sabans gonna come out with a commercial on ESPN on signing day, and he's just gonna ask the question into the camera, "You really think I wouldn't take the top center in the country?", and him and YouTooCesar will be laughing while they both throw up one finger. Holy shit, this could get bad.
I only agree to not completely write off Peters. Longshot, but maybe his arm talent is as good as it looked in his highlights and O'Korn and Speight keep making the wrong throws.
So if Michigan and Alabama go undefeated this year, and every other team has one loss, you think Michigan and Alabama should have to play 3 games to win a championship. You totally shit on their regular season accomplishment. This system ain't perfect, but it's no less perfect than a rigid system that doesn't account for what the teams actually did on the field that year.
So you legitimately think that if 2008 pops up again, there should be a 4 team playoff? Why wouldn't you want to include the other 4 teams that played their way into it on the field?
And that is why you have the greatest football minds of all time on the committee, so they can use common sense to overrule scenarios that break the system. It all comes down to establishing tiers of teams, and tier one has to be some mixture of wins and common sense. In your scenario, obviously these things are taken into consideration and these great football people who are completely nuetral will make the obvious vote.
So in a year with 5 one loss teams, you want a 4 team playoff, and in a year with one undefeated and one one-loss, you want a 4 team playoff, and in a year with 8 one loss, you want a four team playoff, etc.?
Well that's why you ask the question "is Alabama in the same tier as Iowa / Clemson"? And if you had the right people on the comittee, they would have overwhelmingly voted "yes", and you expand from there. Understand there is no perfect system for any given year, even this system, but it at least makes an attempt to get the closest to what it should be on any given year.
Why wouldn't you want an 8 team playoff in 2008? There were 8 teams that should have been in based on W/L. Also, I don't really care if a 2 loss team would have wound up winning the playoff, if there were 2 undefeated teams and no one-loss teams, they didn't earn the right to be in the playoff in the first place.
Yes, I just realized this too. 2003 should have been a 4 team playoff. I disagree with you because I believe wins on the field should be the single most important factor in deciding who plays who. In the scenario of a one-loss SEC team vs two undefeated teams from other conferences, this is why you need the human element. If there were 10 guys like Brian Billick voting, given the reality of the inequality of that conference compared to others, they would probably overwhelmingly decide that the one-loss SEC champ deserves a shot, and that's the way it should be. But wins on the field still have to have the most meaning.
There should be as few playoff games played each year as absolutely necessary. This keeps the most amount of importance on regular season games as possible, which is what College Football is all about.

It's not like I want to see this happen, but I'm not gonna pretend it bothers me, either.

Sooooo much Fear of Harbaugh in that video. It's as present in their faces as it is on college football message boards around the internet. Love it!
Aw man that sucks.
Obviously. You're not a golfer.
We shouldn't be having this thread until breezy has an interception or a sack.
This is my first time seeing this picture, and for some reason, I am not the least bit surprised by it. It was almost expected.
Good get. Hope he gets sudden real sudden.
they came...they saw...they ate........................they didn't fucking commit
Wonder if he said "oh sweet, the numbaa faahhh" when he opened it.
Those flowing locks tho
His ballz keep changing colors, and it's a little worrisome.
Yeah, those don't count.
I think we are about to watch a legend unfold.
dual notes being duly noted
Lotta hype behind j breezy, would be awesome to watch him live up to it.
ND vs Texas is first week, but that'll probably be USC Bama.
Wait. Writing poetry can be a day job?
Agreed. Rishan and Mone at the end, make this for me the best hype vid yet. I almost forgot the crazy potential of this defense. GB!
I think every Michigan fan should have this opinion at this point.
I only agree to not completely write off Peters. Longshot, but maybe his arm talent is as good as it looked in his highlights and O'Korn and Speight keep making the wrong throws.
Poetry and a prediction! What a treat!
Let me try:
Although rhyming is a past time phagtivity
Harbaugh will brilliantly make use
Of Johnny O'Korns run run ability
Or so I peruse, now heres the caboose
2008

This is not a discussion of what will be, but what should be.
You think it's inappropriate to post the first time we see Rashan fucking Gary as a Wolverine? Maybe step away from the internet for a while.
Camo alternates?
Anyone who doesn't think they look good has a horrible, horrible opinion.
I'm so happy I could cry
One of the best looking football numbers
We're gonna look like a pro team in 18 & 19
the same ones that look really good on a football helmet
Can someone photoshop the side of a helmet full of stars? Really think it would be an insane look:
I don't really believe you TBH.
I laughed. I cried. I fell in love.
WTF is an Ipod?!?
