Saban got the best talent but a lot of them MFs flamed out in the NFL which says a lot about how great his run actually was.
Won titles with QBs like:
McElroy
Jake Coker
Mac Jones
And had guys like Terrance Cody and Barret Jones looking like potential GOATs at their positions but flaming out fast in the NFL. shyt crazy.
Tf they gon do about itSo basically, the SEC and B1G and can just do whatever and the ACC and Big XII will just fall in line?
the commissioners have now skipped past 14 teams to 16, still with those slanted automatic berths. And not even a clean, simple bracket where No. 1 plays No. 16, No. 2 plays No. 15, etc.
“More likely, the CFP would look to start a week earlier, on what has traditionally been Army-Navy weekend,” writes Russo, “with the four lowest seeds (13 through 16) playing their way into the second weekend’s six-game bracket.”
No one asked for a First Four of college football. Will the games be played in Dayton? Those matchups last season (under the straight seeding model adopted Thursday) would have been No. 13 seed Miami (10-2) vs. No. 16 seed Clemson (10-3) and No. 14 seed Ole Miss (9-3) vs. No. 15 seed South Carolina (9-3). Games like this used to be known as the Outback Bowl.
And to shoehorn two play-in games into an ostensibly symmetrical 16-team field, the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds would get a double-bye into the quarterfinals. Imagine if the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs didn’t play their first postseason game until the third weekend of the NFL playoffs. This would be that, but their hiatus would be even longer because the gap between Army-Navy and New Year’s can be as long as three weeks.
Nearly everyone The Athletic has spoken to about this subject over the past few months says this entire cockamamie scheme is the brainchild of Tony Pettiti, the third-year Big Ten commissioner who used to be a television executive. He needs those four automatic berths for the Big Ten so he can fulfill his dream of creating his league’s NBA Play-In Tournament on conference championship weekend — No. 3 versus No. 6, No. 4 versus No. 5, with the winners going to the CFP. His No. 6 seed last year would have been Iowa (8-4).
Whatever happen to Julian Fleming wasn’t he like the #3 recruit in the country?
