With him there they will get all kinds of attention. ESPN will pee their pants to interview him every chance they get.
NEW STORY TEN THOUGHTS ON THE WEEKEND IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL
- Thread starter GabeD
- Start date
Probably because they lost two games to Southern Mississippi and UCF.
At least he was good in the NFL. Some of the people they pull up from college just make me scratch my head. Kliff Kingsbury? Seriously?
Neon Deion has been relevant for over 30 years. I’m highly doubt going to Colorado will make him irrelevant.
I can’t see a scenario where a 10-2 SEC team is ever left out.
If Purdue had won last night, no way are they a top 12 team deserving a spot in the playoffs.
In some years, it would be unfair, but it would eliminate the subjectiveness every year.

Ohio State lost to #2 Michigan. TCU lost to #11 K-State. Plus once you have determined who is in based on resume it should be seeded by best to worst team. Ohio State is better than TCU based on the entire season.
If Purdue had won, then they would have had a lot better team than the one that got blown out last night.

Uh they got blasted at home, not an ot loss… Ohio state beat penn state,,. And? What exactly is impressive about their season?
I get in reality they shouldn’t get in- but by your same logic why does TCU get in over Alabama. Alabama 2 losses were against better teams. If you are picking teams strictly on losses and where they finish in standings- the logic needs to also apply in favor of Tulane.
there would be so much money made in that 12 team deal they could dump most of the crap bowls…dont tell me any bowl is a “great reward” for kids..bs..obviously a whole bunch of kids have no interest..all these lower bowls do is get unearned coach bonuses for being extremely average… exhibit A… drinkwiz eli…
play the 12 team playoff..split the $$ money evenly to all schools.

Look how meaningless the 12 team playoff will render games in the regular season, and even conference championship games. We're already seeing it with a four team playoff. TCU goes into the conference championship game in which a win will secure them a spot in the 4-team playoff. They lose. The result? They're still in?
Then stop having “championship” games.
Such an odd game to use as an example. That specific game becomes more important with a 12-team playoff. KSU wins that game and they are in the playoff; lose, and they’re playing in a meaningless bowl.
Here’s the Bullshit issue
Ohio State is in no question which means they should be the 3 and then the committee can debate if it should be TCU or Bama and whoever it is, should be the 4.
But for reasons many have mentioned they won’t do it that way… whoever is chosen will have to be sold as they were the 3 and they were always going to be in and that Ohio State edged out Bama because they have two losses

This. He's like what Kim Anderson was at CMSU. He simply out-athletes every team he goes up against in the SWAC. He wouldn't last 2yrs at any SEC school.
That being said, its not like the Pac12 is overflowing with crazy good teams. If he can recruit significantly better than the rest of them then he's got a shot to make some noise.
I really don’t think Alabama belongs in the conversation. They don’t pass the eye test for me. Every successful offensive play is a broken play. The WRs aren’t good. Young is constantly running for his life. By bama standards, this team is a mess.
It’s kind of funny to hear / read people talking smack on Bama. We all know if Michigan, tOSU or TCU played the same schedule they would have a loss or 3 as well.
For those that said we needed an expanded playoff to determine the true national championship and let truly deserving teams have a shot, TCU getting in dashes that argument to pieces. For those clamoring for an entertainment extravaganza, they'll get it (but at the cost of individual games throughout the season having diminished significance).
Well, by the time there is a 12 team playoff they won’t have divisions and an 8-4 Purdue won’t be in the conference championship game.
Let’s get 9-10 wins and find out? I’ll bet we’d still end up in a pretty sweet bowl. KState playing Bama in the Sugar Bowl.
It's most likely the money. It almost always plays at the top of thinking, even if there might be another in a tie for the top spot.
Then we better expand the playoffs to 16 teams. Oh wait! Then the debate will be over the 16th team. so we better expand it 20. Oh wait! Then we better expand it etc.,etc. Take me back to the good old days when the 2 best teams in the country played for the championship.
Say what you want…. We all know those teams would have lost a game or 3 if they played the schedule Bama did
That’s why the odds makers in Vegas say Bama is the better team
From Colorado's standpoint, I think it's certainly worth a shot. They weren't getting a top name, but should be able to recruit with Sanders. If he has good coordinators, I think he will be fine.

I have no clue what your point is. What does any of that have ro do with Tulane not getting in because they have two losses? Nothing is the answer.

It’s circular. General public perception is that BAMA is BAMA and is better than those three schools and Vegas sets lines based largely on public perception so they’ll get money. Bama’s best argument to get in is that it‘s been great in the past and people expect them to be good.
He's better than our current head coach. What has Drink done besides recruit good on paper? His offense he ran at NC State and Appalachian State can barely score 20 against SEC defenses. So if we compare resumes all I can go off is Ws and Ls.... How is a coach that in 2 years lost only 1 game considered a worse coach than the guy with a 500 record? Don't answer too quick now. Explain it to me?
Has Drink lost to Louisiana-Monroe, South Carolina State, Alabama St, Southern, and Alabama A&M?

Not to poke this hive but drink was 12-1 as a head coach when we hired him…Deion may be great, he also had talent superior to his peers in the swac. Will be interesting to see how it goes at Colorado
because they're ranked lower than K-State. None of this is subjective. It was literally just going by what the guidelines will be of the 12 team playoff.
