If Z-Man were to be doing Mason-Dixon CFP proposal with CBS, he will automatically receive pink slip.
Also, Z-Man you need keep Mason-Dixon CFP Proposal to yourself unfortunately it’s a distraction to all of us.
Pardon me for doing this to you & last thing I want to see you Z-Man to be in hot water during Christmas season & I really do not want to see it happen & I care about you buddy.
Miami (Fla.) has a win against an FCS opponent. Notre Dame hasn’t.
Miami has a win against Notre Dame.
…they also have a win against Notre Dame.
Texas A&M is sure getting the SEC treatment. They didn’t even play Bama, UGA, Ole Miss, or Oklahoma!
Yes, they should be ranked ahead of Notre Dame since they beat them, but they shouldn’t be ranked ahead of Oklahoma and Bama! I don’t even know if they should be ranked ahead of Texas.
Also, Miami should be ranked ahead of ND since they beat them.
this is what happens when you put too many teams in conferences with unbalanced schedules and not enough head to head common opponents….this sport is a joke now. also, enjoy the exhibition SEC champ game which used to be one of the best games all season. Greg Stankey ruined his own league and the sport bc he wanted money from Austin
While Sankey is a culprit, I wouldn’t place the blame on him. I would place the blame on the NCAA for not limiting the amount of teams per conference (should be a maximum of 12 to ensure competitive balance).
