College Football News, Rumor & Humor

The more I've thought about it, the more irrationally upset I am getting that a credible entity like FOX College Football would even entertain the idea that Iowa State, and Minnesota to a slightly lesser extent, are top 25 most valuable CFB programs.

Interesting hire

True to their DNA. Perfect hire for Wazzu.

For programs like WSU and OSU which aren't going to outshine UW and OU for recruits, they got it right with their approach. Both have identities that are a bitch to deal with. OSU is smash mouth, pounding you over and over with 220 lb RBs. WSU is high powered passing, putting all sorts of pressure on you. That's the recipe if you aren't like CU which can go into any living room in the country at any time in the recruiting process and expect to land the recruit. When you can't dominate across the board, you have to specialize.

Do we have to drape our balls all over everyone in every post? What a wild Prime centric world we live in

Things are really picking up in the Pac-12. Recruiting and coaching hires are vastly improved.

This one feels more accurate, but again, where are USC and Ohio State? What is going into their value $$ amount number? Oregon has the richest booster and biggest brand in the country basically funding the entire operation and they aren't on the list?

Those are three year revenue averages

Where Pac-12 teams are ranked on Forbes' list of most valuable college football teams in America

Like it or not, conference realignment is directly related to team value. So which Pac-12 teams have the highest value in the nation?

With the new 12-team CFP format the top 4 teams would get bye's and those 4 would be required to be conference champions. So this year that means that Clemson would have been the #3 seed and KSU the #4 seed. Yet TCU and tOSU got into this year's 4-team playoff as non-champs.

Are adjustments needed to the 12-team format? It certainly seems like it. I've never been a fan of automatic bids for conference champs and certainly not a guaranteed bye as is the new format. And Tulane would get a bid despite being ranked #16 in the CFP rankings.

It’s what’s best if you want to reward a conference championship, so yes I’m for it.

I get that's your opinion but teams like TCU and tOSU who had better overall seasons yet lost or didn't make it to their respective CCG's should get shoved down in the pecking order in favor of teams like Clemson and KSU who each lost 2 games? I guess it comes down to how much emphasis you put on a team winning a single conference championship game at the end of the year, or even getting to that game. I've always been in the corner that even though you didn't win your division or a single "winner take all CCG" you can still be the 2nd best team in the country.

Did you think nebraska should have played in the national championship game in 2001?

I'm a big fan of providing incentives for conference championships and linking that to the playoffs. I think it will result in better, and more meaningful games.

Once divisions are done away with in the power conferences, this will be less of an issue. Regardless, though, as long as CFB is going to recognize 5 power conferences, winning one of those conferences should mean something. Maybe the right move is to just do autobids but not automatically give them byes? Either way, until it becomes a true P2 set up where it’s just those teams vying for the Natty, there should be incentive to win a conference

And, it will allow for more teams to make the playoff or advance deeper into the playoffs, thus engaging more fanbases and indirectly spreading out the talent and creating more parity, which at this point, I think most people want to see

Also, if the new format was in place it would have been Utah at the 4 spot, not KSU, as Utah finished ranked higher

1 - UGA - Bye
2 - UM - Bye
3 - Clemson - Bye
4 - Utah - Bye
5 - TCU vs 12 - Washington
6 - Ohio State vs 11 - Penn State
7 - Alabama vs 10 - USC
8 - Tennessee vs 9 - KSU
