can we take that game? I think we're already schedule to play them, but I'd rather play ND twice than have to play GTech, SMU, or Louisville next year... Not even close to joking.

I hope you're coming from the angle of ND is a marquee opponent while those other schools are not instead of Miami lost to GT, SMU, and Louisville the last time they played each so let's duck them.

It's not about the fact that we lost to them *****, its about that fact Mario is incapable of getting his team ready to play lesser opponents with good offenses. I'd rather play ND if they were ranked #1 in the country twice than lesser opponents. The matchup is just better. If we had to play ND twice, and those other 3 teams I listed once each, I'd bet we'd have more wins in the ND series than the other trios series... Maybe tied....

I hear you, but Mario and the Canes need to get face those demons and get over it. Running away from it does no good.

Lesser team

Consistently LOSES to them

That means they really aren’t the LESSER team

Wow. **** is getting real. Michigan out of the Big 10 one day? That would be a doozy.

How's this for a conference: UM, USC, U-M, ND, FSU, Clemson along with maybe another ACC school and a BIG XII school (UCF?) or 2. Make it a 9 or 10 team conference. Everyone plays each other. Best conference record wins the conference. No conference championship game. Just CFP bids to worry about.

Long shot for sure. But, what the ****.

it would probably be UNC and instead of UCF, but most likely BYU

Dabo spit'n truths!!

He's speaking some truths (although, it's 14 NFL playoff teams not 16 Dabo). However, didn't hear him being the sage voice last year when his team was getting an invite to the CFP. It's funny how it takes a dud season for this guy to come to the pulpit.

He is right about college football trying to emulate the NFL while still following a lot of the traditional college football template. It would most likely be best for the conferences to get together, hire NFL league execs, hire a commissioner, and set this thing up so it can be a truly functional league. College football is officially a pro league now. Better to be proactive. Who am I kidding? They're not going to do that.

As far as the firings go, that's what contracts are for. LSU is already trying to get out of their full buyout with Kelly, but Kelly and his lawyers are saying we'll see you in court. Enough of these schools eat big buyouts and you'll see firings be more judiciously made. FSU is already keeping their albatross until they can get the funds to get him out.
 
Not sure if this is being discussed in the conference realignment thread, so please move if necessary.

The Big10 is in the process of selling a piece of their revenue to a private equity firm. They’re trading their long term money for a little bit of short term cash because even with their HUGE TV contract, some schools are still coming up short with revenue sharing. Michigan and USC are ****ed (I don’t buy the USC to the ACC hype). So one of the supposed “big two” conferences is already desperately selling themselves to the highest bidder, does that mean college football is just going to be the SEC and nobody else in a few years?

It definitely seems short-sighted and desperate.

They have 3 of the top 10 teams and 6 of the top 25. Won the CFP last year. 4 of the top 10 teams in recruiting according to 247.

They seem to be keeping up just fine..

I'm not sure if they're trying to separate themselves from the SEC but that would not be a good strategy long term.
 
B1G is probably a better overall conference but they don’t recruit the same as the SEC so the SEC will always get the benefit of the doubt. We need to find our way into either and soon because the gaps are widening each year.

B1G is nowhere near a better overall conference than the SEC. Currently the bottom 6 SEC schools are UF, Kentucky, Miss State, Auburn, USCe, and Arkansas. I'd take any of them over any one of the bottom 10 of the B1G. And I'd like their chances over Nebraska, Minnesota, or Iowa as well, the next 3 ranked in the B1G. IMO the B1G is what the ACC would be if Miami, FSU, Clemson, and one maybe 2 other ACC teams managed to all consistently be Top 20 teams at the same time. EXTREMELY top heavy.
