Barrett's injury was the best thing to happen to Ohio State in 2014. They weren't going to beat Bama with Barrett's noodle arm, they needed Jones's hand cannon.
Will Howard went to Ohio State as a 5th year senior. Sayin is a redshirt freshman.
Also, Sayin was hardly the biggest concern on offense. The offensive line was doodoo dogshit most of the year and it was only because Sayin had such a quick release that Ohio State did as well as they did. Fix the line before throwing stones at the QB.

>>152810781
I'm a casual Irish fan, and I actually agreed with putting Miami over them because head to head HAS to matter, but it is becoming increasingly clear that the SEC did a masterclass job of propping each other up to get 5 schools in, 2 of which clearly did not deserve it (Alabama and Oklahoma). The ACC thing also screwed them because Miami should have just been the ACC champion, leaving only one spot for a G5 school. That's 3 spots that Notre Dame probably should have had.

You people who think the committee only takes one week or one game at a time into account are so clueless. Just come to me when you’re confused and I’ll set you straight.

The committee painted themselves into a corner with their first rankings, which put Miami 8 places below a team with the same record they beat head to head (note that there’s nothing intrinsically wrong with this, but the committee believes there is). Miami and ND had 0 games that mattered since the first CFP rankings - they both played one ranked team (Pittsburgh) and both won. Ever since the first rankings the committee has been on a mission to awkwardly move Miami past ND, one week at a time. Alabama passing ND was just one element of their plan. But you can’t see the forest for the trees.

Running backs are a diamond dozen. The say we are leading for Isaac Brown who is absolutely the best available IMO. But there are several other guys who would be good.

He is 100 percent correct. When you watch Indiana play it literally looks like NFL football. The blocking is “clean” in a way that you simply don’t see from college teams.

Indiana is a professional football team playing against college students. This season has proven that college students even superior blue chip athletes cannot compete with professionals. Because professional means sophistication and efficiency and you don’t get dumbass penalties all the time etc.

Running backs should not weigh over 220 under any circumstance. It’s just retarded and football coaches have literal 1980s notions in their heads about big running backs that are retarded and almost never play out.

Even in short yardage situations they are inferior to smaller RBs

The RB meta is a 5’10 210 pounder with elite track speed. If I was a GM I would try to recruit as close to that as I can get every single year because you need about 5 of the fuckers to just reload after injuries.

Thats not what he has done though. His team would not have an average age of 23 if he was just pulling in kiddos under his wing and teaching them how to be men.

Have you watched him play? He is terrible bro. 190 pounds soaking wet and slow as the day is long.

This is cope. If those players were actually pro level they would have left after year 3 when they were eligible. NFL paychecks are greater than all but the highest paid college players. Team that are full of seniors that were not highly recruited are nothing new, it’s just that they virtually never accomplish anything. I tried to think of an exception and went to 2010 Auburn, but their starting roster was not that old and they also had Cam Newton on god mode, and they still didn’t beat the brakes off any good team except South Carolina.

Indiana is different in that not only are they accomplished, but they are clearly the overall best team of the season 14 games in, and probably the best overall team today.

Cignetti is simply the greatest coach of all time.

>>152816505
Thats literally what I am saying you absolute moron. The rules should be changed or schools need to figure out how to make binding contracts for their players.

Oh that’s good. But do you really agree with it? Would you actually have felt comfortable dropping Notre Dame from #12 to #19 the week after they beat Boston College 25-10?

the average player on indiana is older and more experienced and thus better than the average cfb roster. that doesnt automatically make them nfl calibre and its a fallacy to assume they would be in the nfl

Yes, the greatest college football coach of all time, and certainly in the conversation for greatest of all time at any level of football. I certainly find him more impressive than Paul Brown or Belichick. Paul Brown was revolutionary in a primitive era of the game. Cignetti is dominant in a highly developed era of the game - but that makes him so much greater. He hasn’t made any innovations, he just made his team good at everything. That has been done before, but only by coaches who had already recruited elite athletes. Cignetti has done it with scrubs.

That’s fine, but the rest of your statement doesn’t sound high IQ, it sounds low IQ in fact. That logic falls apart so fast anyone with a 156 IQ would have been able to pick up on it. By that logic Miami would have to be ranked behind Louisville, who beat them. And Louisville would have to be ranked behind Cal, who would have to be ranked behind San Diego State and so on, with every team needing to be ranked behind almost every other team.

Maybe this isn’t your logic though and you just verbalized it wrong.

>>152816838
I disagree, in that complaining about them using 6th years that are in their mid to late 20s is pointless because it's allowed. I'm saying you have no merit to complain of it being legitimate or not.

And the only part we agree with is that for rules to be changed they have to be presented as being a problem (I don't agree that it's a problem, just the correct actions to take to change it).

I think there is a proper context where its not completely illegitimate but its also stupid to crown cig the GOAT.

I think indiana is much like nebraska. Nebraska was the first team to figure out that steroids and a top tier weight lifting program can make your team champions. Cig (and lane kiffen) were the first guys to realize that they could load up on 23 year old men and kick the shit out of young blue chippers.

They deserve respect for having the correct intuition about best practices and being the smartest guys in the room. But being right about something once does not make you a goat. And old piss and shitdiana will both fall into irrelevance when everyone else catches up to them. (probably next year)

If cig continues to be dominant when everyone is using the portal the way he has then I would feel comfortable talking about his greatness

IU has the largest alumni base in the US, and it tends to be one of the wealthiest. The Kelley School of Business and the Jacobs School of Music are both ranked towards the top globally. Yes, not just nationally, but globally. Besides those two, all of their programs are generally seen as at least average, and most are above-average to great. They do get out-classed in state with Engineering and CompSci by Purdue and with Law by Notre Dame, but otherwise, they are generally seen as the best University in the state and sometimes the entire Midwest for a large number of fields.

Add all that to IU having a few multibillionaire alum, most notably sports-obsessed Cubes, and IU is extremely well-positioned to be successful year after year in the NIL landscape.

Notre Dame could shutout Indiana 84-0 in the natty

no its absolutely not. Those guys are typically great in short yardage. Nobody can get a push because defensive linemen are just superior athletes to offensive linemen. And modern offensive philosophy stresses pass blocking and footwork for offensive linemen. Modern O tackels are like seven foot tall and not built with leverage in mind for pushing a guy backwords.

>>152823478
Probably never. Northwestern's alumni base is less than a fourth of IU's, and that's the key. IU has a huge alumni base that is also above average in wealth combined with super-rich sports fan alumni. For that reason, I see Illinois as being the next likely team to start making waves if they get better coaching staff. The Khans make Mark Cuban look like a bum comparatively, and I could see them also using Illinois as an extra layer of scouting for the Jags.

tbf i don't think beck was viewed as a top option last offseason, not like cam ward. lagway probably has the highest ceiling of the field but i don't know how much interest the staff has in actually developing a quarterback. they have a 4 star true freshman on the roster and dereon coleman coming in so who knows if lagway is actually better as an option. not looking up for next season though that's for sure

Holy shit, we finally got someone who is a good kicker. After Randy Bond's performance last year, it will be amazing to have someone who can consistently make field goals again. That he was able to make a field goal in a high pressure situation like a close bowl game will be great for us since Reed will still be the quarterback which will ensure that we sill do stupid shit each game.

Nobody gives a fuck about non-CFP bowls anymore. They're basically just spring games now. If the playoff field shrunk and we had A&M and Miami playing in a non-CFP Sugar Bowl instead it would have been a half empty stadium and a game full of opt outs. That's part of the reason they expanded the playoff and will continue doing so. It's the only way to make players and fans care about the postseason.

Sounds like sour grapes since his team couldn't build a team better than Indiana. Half of those starters were transfers from last offseason, and Cignetti just did a masterful job at picking the right transfers to replace the players from last years team which also had a shit ton of seniors that left for the NFL. IF they do win the natty there's going to be a lot of 4 and 5 star players lining up to play for Cig and the use of transfers will decrease a lot.

>Also, its not the SEC's faults that the B1G is kicking ass in the new meta (it's courts' fault for neutering the NCAA).
The SEC states should be placing all their anger on their GOP SCOTUS for getting gaslit by communist California of all states into thinking that the previous system of college football was somehow socialism. Now the B1G is finally allowed to fight back without their hands and legs tied, and they're the richest conference is college athletics so they can outspend any SEC school if they want to now.

Their no compromise Ivy tier education standards prevents them from ever getting legit good players even if they backed the Brinks truck.

if it weren't for the amount of money made at classic "big" bowl sites, setting the playoffs at the schools would be so awesome beyond just the opening round in FBS

Bowls are so gay for that reason. We can't have playoff games on campus because a bunch of old ladies think having a football game after their new year's parade is too important of a tradition.

how much worse are these guys compared to like sun belt teams
