Mario just said "imagine eliminating big games becuase when you play big games the results don't matter" - he's got the talking points!
Goes on to say that the ancillary data points are fine... if there is no H2H. Otherwise what is the point of playing the games
Also mentions that in the history of CFP, never have two teams that played each other had the loser ahead of the winner - he's killing it
Ends with - FOR THE INTEGRITY OF THE SPORT, WINNING AND LOSING, IT IS IMPORTANT TO GET IT RIGHT

Think he means the CFP in its current playoff format, which is accurate.

Also a great showing from Bear, pushing the agenda STRONG. Great to see an alumnus standing strong in the paint.

Agreed - his dig at bama with the FSU loss was impeccable

One of Mario's best appearances. He really presented well and didn't sound bitter, angry or take shots at anyone.
He seems pretty positive it's all going to fall the way it should....

This was my takeaway as well.
He doesn't seem at all tired after a long season. Or distracted by recruiting. Or angry about the disrespect.
He seems happy about this team and what's to come.

Thought I was gonna come in here for some actual hot takes from Mario.
“Season 1&2 we’re great but then they got too cute by half and the writing suffered the last couple of years. The Clare pixie dream girl character was eye rollingly bad. Richie’s redemption arc is everything that’s great about American film making.”

I gather that's him as a person and as a recruiter.
Don't get the sense he negatively recruits kids. Just offers them an opportunity to play at the U and outlines all the benefits of doing so.
Same here - clear, concise message. We beat Notre Dame, we have the same record, we beat our common opponents more convincingly. Why are we even having this conversation?
