NCAA Football, 2014-2015

[Berkut]

There is no way anyway gets out of the Pac-12 this year undefeated.

If we've learned anything at all about the Pac-12 it is that the bad teams are pretty good, and the great teams aren't as great as they thought.

The parity level is almost ridiculous.

[MadImmortalMan]

Yeah, I know.

But there are 4 spots and 5 power conferences. I don't think the Pac-12 is going to end up without one of those spots one way or another.

We really need an 8 team playoff. Each power conference gets a bid, and then three at large.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the (financially)weaker of the power conferences dissolves and it resolves itself naturally. We fixed the glitch.

Impossible.  The conference are all too big as it is.  Where would all those schools go?

I don't know, but there is a bit of a size mismatch even in the five conferences. Bringing them all up to 14 each in four conferences would only leave like two or three teams out in the cold.

...which is politically impossible to do. What conference commissioner would ever agree to such a thing?

[Valmy]

Huh?  The Big 10, ACC, and SEC already have 14 teams (and the ACC has 15 if you count Notre Dame).  Eight would get left out.

And 14 is an upper limit.  Those conferences are stupid big, like they hardly ever play a lot of their conference mates.

[grumbler]

A conference commissioner brought in to do just that?

But I agree that it won't happen.  Costs would skyrocket, and thus profits plummet.  Who in the current ACC (which is, I believe, the wekaest conference financially, though that may have changed) would agree to play in the Pac-12 to bring them up to 14 teams?

[CountDeMoney]

My prediction is that Arizona get's ranked 26th;  it would be 25th, but the mere presence of Notre Dame will be the one reason they're pushed off the radar. 

[Ed Anger]

Maryland got a proper introduction to the Big 10. Snap snap fags.

[Eddie Teach]

Nice one from the Other Bulldogs.

I haven't seen the vaunted offensive line of A&M get this whipped since the pre-Sherman days.  That does not bode well for Sumlin moving forwards.

Enjoy it while it lasts, before Mrs. Meyer finds out about Little Miss Buckeye Dance Team.

[katmai]

Down goes Alabama, down goes Oklahoma, 2,3,4 all lose this week?

[CountDeMoney]

Maybe now people will take Notre Dame seriously. 

[Valmy]

Good day for TCU and Baylor, bad day for Texas and Texas A&M.  The state is being turned upside down.

[katmai]

Maybe now people will take Notre Dame seriously. 

woah let's not get carried away

Not until they beat Florida State.
