>>157561426cfb is for the few, not the many
>>157561426Because my longhorns were not allowed into the playoffs. This is the consequence of that. A clear message was sent that playing a tough opponent in non-conference is suicidal for your season. You could have avoided this fate if you let my longhorns into the playoffs but you didnt and so you get no sympathy from me. All incentives are to never have a good game in non conference play ever again.

Could be something. >Ohio vs Nebraska Ohio beat WVU last season, Nebraska really isn't much better >>157561808Fair analysis
>>157563415Fresno State vs USC back then was one of the best games of the year aside from USC vs ND. Fresno State put the actual blueprint on how to beat USC. Paul PineGAR vs the rest of the USC retards. That was an amazing game to watch really.
>>157563415P4 teams have such an advantage now with NIL. It's hard to see upsets happening.

>>157563631That Tulsa one is fake as fuck. Tulsa won last year, but OSU was genuinely the worst P4 team I have ever seen. This year they're basically all of 2025 UNT, should mop the floor with Tulsa
>>157563553South Dakota St is gonna pretty motivated on becoming a D-1 since their big brother moved up. I think the Jackrabbits are will join up another level next year on wanting to become the next big thing.

>>157563415In all fairness, Oregon State was never really considered a heavy-hitter in those days. I would also argue that the Big 12 is not a power conference.
>>157563241Cope harder, they lost to South Florida and got blown out by Kentucky
>>157563482You're thinking of UCLA and Jake Haener. Last time USC played Fresno State in 2022 it was 45-17.
>>157564619>You're thinking of UCLA and Jake HaenerNo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC3nU4uYPgQ
>>157564648When you're talking about a blueprint to beat a team I assumed we're not discussing games that happened before most current CFB players were born.
>>157564672These past games do mean something for USC and Fresno State. Current players should watch older games to motivated and understand how to find ways to win. Today's player didn't even exists to see how Fresno State almost beat USC but it's still the blueprint.
>>157561520>Boiselol. no. ZERO chance Boise upsets Oregon It's far more likely Oregon wins by 40 than Boise keeps it close The disparity between power conference and small conference talent has never been wider
>>157564519Oregon State was ranked #12 for a couple weeks in 2023. They were good before they got neutered by realignment
>>157564817>The disparity between power conference and small conference talent has never been widerTrue, but Boise State is the exception proving that rule. They retain most of their talent instead of getting completely raped by the portal every offseason. Oregon has a new OL and two new coordinators so that might cause some issues.

>>157563492NIL was one of the worst ways to pay players. So many perverse incentives that exacerbates college football's rich-get-richer problem that drafts and revenue sharing in pro league's like the NFL and MLB try to mitigate.
>>157565150They are playing a bad FCS team. Utah Tech hasn't had a winning season since 2019.
>>157565252Blame the NCAA boomers deciding to fight to the death against paying players until the SCOTUS unanimously cockslapped them into accepting NIL and the Wild West environment surrounding it. If they relented 10-15 years ago when this issue started bubbling to the surface and put together a sensible way to pay players, that might have withstood legal challenges.Most of the NCAA's legal defeats about NIL were due to sob stories in court from athletes about how they went hungry because the NCAA forbid them from earning a penny off their athletic talent. Combine those stories with the massive media deals and sold out stadiums and 8-9 figure private donations and it's no surprise they lost. If the NCAA dropped regulations about how much athletic departments could feed their players instead of chimping out over players getting an extra burger, bumped up stipends and instituted a trust fund alongside the schools/conferences where student-athletes get a nice lump sum upon graduation maybe judges rule that it's fair compensation. You could even make the lump sum bigger for harder majors, higher GPAs and players that don't transfer to encourage academic performance and discourage transfers.
>>157565277It was so gay hearing them call themselves The People's Champions despite not even being close to sniffing the natty while they played ESPN's Slop Bowl™ against UGA's Jannetty.
>>157565302>Blame the NCAA boomers deciding to fight to the death against paying players until the SCOTUS unanimously cockslapped them into accepting NIL and the Wild West environment surrounding it.They brought it on themselves, I agree. However, I think NIL as it works in practice was one of the worse ways to get players paid.
>>157565398NIL as it exists shouldn’t exist because all they’ve done is slap “fair wage for fair work” which just means DaQwuan Tay’Von’Martuvius von Hamburgersphere has to go shake hands at Exxon for an hour or go play at Chevron’s charity golf tournament and gladhand 70 year old Lawrence Cornelius Standard Oil (Buck Breaker Emeritus of the African continent) for a fat check. If we would just go back to the old days of stud bucks getting a brown paper bag things would be far better.
>black coaches
Why are there so few games on the /sp/ confidence pickems group this week? Legitimately retarded how few there are and if it's like that this week it'll be no different the rest of the weeks.
>>157565063>paco angry the doyers lost to a white statekek!
>>157565302Yeah good point. Also clinging to the 'amatuerism' argument yet a college undergrad can work at the campus owned cafe and be paid by the school. Physical ed/therapy majors can work for the school in a part and full time clinical capacity: what would be any different if they paid athletes as employees of the athletic department? My friends in D1 soccer and swimming say their whole college schedule revolves around their sport and their coaches don't care of even talk about academics, so I imagine it's far more involved for football and basketball players. Why keep the charade up? This isn't the 70's where going to college basically gauranteed you a great life.
NIL is still way better than the "SEC pays players under the table" setup we had before
>>157566035How did Alabama get all the great players over say Texas? Texas alumni are heralded as the richest in the country, yet you mean to tell me for a decade they were just mid while Alabama got every 5 star recruit?
>>157561197Wisconsin got busted for shopping a black guy into their application cover 25 years ago
>>157564961How would that make a difference?
>>157563492Within the P4, the P2 has a huge advantage over the ACC and B12. Tennessee is getting $12 million a year for adding a sponsor patch to their football jerseys. The Big XII is getting $20 million per year for plastering everything with the Monster logo. That $20 million is split between all sixteen members.
the bucs wouldve been a on a roll of playoff runs and titles if they had promoted white coaches like coen and canales but instead they doubled down on the leftwich and bowles baboons
Who is the best black head coach in college right now?
>>157566110>How did Alabama get all the great players over say Texas? Because the SEC managed to force their schools into an Omerta Code (most likely by paying massive bribes to their garbage teams) while the SWC and BigXII, respectively, were busy forming circular firing squads so Tejas could never get away with the shenanigans 'Bama, LSU, JawJaw and Florida routinely pulled.
>>157566536Memphis' HC.Dude's legit. He's built successful, disciplined programs wherever he's landed.
Alabama brought in pro player Charles Bediako without penalty so why is everyone now upset over LSU doing what Alabama already did? Does Alabama get special treatment?
>>157566297As trashy as the Big 12 monster deal is, it puts the patch on the same part of the jersey as the conference logo, so Big 12 schools still have the traditional advert space on their jerseys free to make 3rd party sponsorship deals like Tennessee did. Also the money is only one part of the agreement with Monster. The other part is that while the Big 12 has to shill Monster, Monster now also has to shill the Big 12 in other spaces where they have partnerships like WWE, and that’s probably biggest reason why the deal is so underwhelming in terms of $$$. It’s a mutually shilling agreement.
>>157566536>>157566626As somebody who thinks Marcus Freeman is overrated af, the answer is still obviously Marcus Freeman. He’s the best coach ND has had since Lou Holtz.
>>157566650Bediako's TRO lasted three weeks, in which he played 5 additional games before a judge shut his ass down.If Wright suited up for the LSU-Clemson game this weekend but was found to be ineligible by a judge next Tuesday, there would be angst but I think it would be manageable. What's spooked everyone was that between Bediako and now, the Sorsby thing went down and the NCAA's appeal wasn't going to be heard until next February when it would no longer matter. So, conferences realized they couldn't (and shouldn't) rely on relatively quick legal resolution and tried taking matters into their own hands.

>>157561089>9:00 - Idaho vs #21 Utah ESPNUHow will /cfb/ react when MY Vandals vandalize a ranked FBS team to kick off the season?
>>157565302The fact is the NCAA literally never had the legal authority to do what it did. Whenever it got exposed to the court it was going to get assraped. Figuring out how to pay players in 2010 would’ve just kicked the can down the road. It was always an illegal cartel that was restricting athletes in an illegal manner, it just got away with it because the people in charge really liked the sports and thought it was ok to just look the other way.That’s why they are pushing for that law, it would essentially grant the NCAA an antitrust exemption similar to what the pro sports league have. Without that exemption, college sports is essentially every university running a corporation and choosing who to hire and who not to hire. As you know, a company doesn’t have too many restrictions on who it can hire, how much they can pay them, how long they can be paid for. Just like I could say take a year off college and go work and then go back, there’s no real reason within current labor law why a person shouldn’t be able to leave college, go work somewhere else (the NFL), and then go back and play for greasy Lane.
So far the only lucrative head coaching positions that will likely open up at the end of this season are USC and Clemson?

>>157567587For Idaho, that would be a killer accomplishment if they slaughtered.
>>157567709For what it’s worth fans of actual big ten schools want califaggots out too. I despise the judaism that brought the west and east coast into our conference. Penn State was the first soulless add and it’s only gotten worse.
>>157567709How much would the B1G charge to leave?
>>157567729Big 10 should want them out too. Big 10 is a Midwest conference, not California and New Jersey and Maryland
>>157567599>The fact is the NCAA literally never had the legal authority to do what it did.The NCAA is 120 years old. That they got away with their amateurism rules for over a century is quite the accomplishment for something illegal and high profile.

>>157567709>Have the best collegiate baseball program in the country>Didn't even make it to the CWS
>>157567747Yea I’m curious about how the NCAA got away with it as long as they did because as I said they NEVER had the legal authority to do it. They basically set up these rules and I guess got every school to voluntarily agree with them, and then enforced them, but that’s a cartel. Corporations have gotten into serious legal trouble for doing far less especially when it comes to labor.
>>157567789They choked in the round before that, it happens. They should still be a contender next year, and made it the 2nd round of the CWS in 2025.
>>157567747>>157567791The amount of money in college sports exploding in the last 20 years is why the NCAA stopped getting away with it. Before the money became insane, a scholarship was seen as fair enough compensation. It stopped being seen that way when coaches became the highest paid state employees in every state and athletic departments spent hundreds of millions building excessively lavish facilities. If you have that much money to throw around, most people's bullshit detectors go off if you then claim you can't afford to pay players. It was also easier for the NCAA to claim a scholarship was fair compensation back when a degree actually guaranteed you a prosperous life, before it was turned into another box to check by the HR Industrial Complex.
Out of the four west coast schools to join the big ten, why do Washington and Oregon seem to be prospering from it while UCLA and USC cry and shart their pants over it? Are they too retarded to coordinate travel or something?
>>157567782Oklahoma-Nebraska
>>157567839If you were a well run department, moving to the big 10 meant more resources. But the retard running UCLA just saw more gibs and used that money to run it into the ground. It’s in a much worse situation now than it was before the move.
>>157567755Return to tradition.

>>157567921I’m not even sure if they regret the move. I hate the move as an alumnus but my opinion doesn’t matter. The point is the extra money wasn’t a panacea.
>>157567804The value of media contracts for live sports comes from being temporally restricted. It's one of the few things that can be broadcast where advertisers still have a good shot at reaching consumers and they pay a hefty premium for that access. For anything else, most people skip over the ads. In a weird way, Tivo started things into motion that got us to where we are now, though if Tivo didn't do it, someone else would have.
>>157567782>Apple Cup>Oregon civil warActual historic rivalries are relevant to people beyond the teams directly involved. Nobody outside of WA or OR gives a shit about those games.USC vs ND is a legitimate one.
>>157567971I’m not an unc and don’t remember tivo at all. As far as I know it’s just a plot device in tropic thunder, another unc movie but a good one at least
>>157567892tbf, this one was pretty much killed by the BigXII
Let's keep the racist remarks to a minimum during the Colorado game tomorrow please
>>157567978nta but i completely disagree. rivalries are really important to a sport that is both national and regional, and it's a big part of the culture of the sport that makes people care about lower-quality teams full of teenagers.
>>157568113Yeah, the people that are fans of those teams. No Illinois fan gives a shit that the apple cup ended and no Wazzu fan cares that Illinois and Mizzou stopped playing each other 15 years ago. And so on and so forth.
Let's keep the racist remarks to a maximum during the Colorado game tomorrow please
>>157567989You'll never understand what it was like to skip commercials and watch 10 Mythbusters in a row for the first time.
>>157567989I remember the very moment Tivo was debued on Oprah and I knew the information age was really kicking off. I did not predict the absolute horror that would follow with it though. You now have flock cameras everywhere and a vast AI infrastructure to monitor you. I am constantly reminded of the quote by George Orwell:>If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.
>>157568063That's the problem I have with faggots bitching about muh dead rivalries. They don't give a shit about anything before they came of age. None of the rivalries they mention matter(ed) as much as Oklahoma-Nebraska. You have to go back in time to the fucking 40s if you want true regional conferences with rivalries that matter.
