The NFL would like a word.

That's the NFL. I could sit here all day and explain all the reasons that the NFL is different than college ball, but I'm sure you're an intelligent person and can figure that out for yourself. In a nutshell, those are guys that are paid and have nothing else to do other than football, not teenagers in college.

When Saban was making his comments about the scheduling, he also brought up Georgia's situation. They obviously have it worse than Alabama. They were in a 12 round heavyweight fight with Oklahoma on the other side of the country. Now they have to come back to Athens, and then leave again Friday. That leaves you with a solid 2 days of practice at home. In this case, I think it is a clear disadvantage to Georgia. As an Alabama fan, I'll take it. And Saban certainly isn't advocating solely on Georgia's behalf. But it's not very fair to Georgia, and I think that it is a perfect illustration of a flaw that they should probably fix.

Who here thinks Georgia's situation is fair?

fuck you

If you think college players are just "teenagers in college" you are in for an awakening, sir. Like I posted earlier. Saban's always gonna complain. About everything. Rinse. Repeat.

Smartest thing you have ever said on here. Get rid of the conference championship game. I say play 12 games with two off weekends- 9 in conference games, 1 OOC Power 5 School and 2 whomever.

Take the championship to 8 games: 5 Power 5 Championship winners and 3 at large. Get rid of the rest of the bowl games or at least 80% of them.

Pfffffft....get that well thought out, perfectly sensible plan out of here. It has no place in the real world.

As for the other bowl games, I honestly don't mind the 400+ meaningless bowl games played every year. Admittedly, this was the first year I really didn't pay much attention to them, but I love having the option any time of turning on some free foosballz. Plus, I think most of the players would love the chance to travel and play an extra game. More exposure too.

When you say "5 championship winners", do you mean the declared champions, not from a game?

Your words, they confuse.

Foosballz is great, but personally, I'm a quality over quantity type of guy. I watched bits and pieces of 2 or 3 lower tier bowl games. But I watched all of the big boys play. 99% of the time, there just isn't much entertainment value in watching two 6-6 teams play terrible ball. Sometimes you get a few unicorns, but for the most part, it's just meh. I'm sure that you're right, and most players do love the opportunity and exposure - especially the seniors. And I can get behind it from that standpoint. But man, some of those teams just have no business playing in a bowl game. Especially some with interim coaches.

I know, but I think you get where I'm coming from on that.

Yeah, Saban complains, and he's an asshole sometimes. But he's right on this subject.

4 regional conferences.
16 teams in each conference.
64 top teams based upon different formulas to determine the top teams.

10 regular season games within your conference. No conference championships. After 10 regular season games that rotate regardless of traditional rivals, the top 4 teams are taken from each conference and placed in a 4 week 16 team playoff. Winner takes all. The team from each conference that makes it the deepest into the playoffs is considered the conference champion.

If you commit any NCAA violations you are removed from major conference division and moved to minor conference division. At that time, the best teams from the minor divisions are allowed to moved into those conferences. After your probation you may begin working your way back to the top of the minor division in hopes of jumping back into major divisions.

ALL problems solved. ALL problems stay solved.

He was asked a question. He answered. I don't know if anyone has asked Smart. Saban is an asshole, but he's right about this one. If you think it doesn't create a disadvantage for UGA, I can't help you. Like I said, of course he's not advocating for UGA. But I think that he sees the clear disadvantage they are at and looking ahead, knows Alabama could also be in that situation at some point in the future.

you are assuming he is speaking on uga's behalf and genuinely. Dude is speaking on HIS behalf. Im surprised an "allegation" about Roquan Smith hasn't arrived on Al.com yet.

As I said earlier, I agree, he's not being an advocate on UGA's behalf. I think that he sees the clear disadvantage and knows this scenario in the future could put him at a disadvantage at some point, so he's using what's happening now to illustrate his point. The fact that he's trying to help himself out in the future doesn't make his point wrong, though.

3 wild cards would create speculation. Top 4 from each conference would more times than not sort itself out. Regular season counts.

Take the regular season back to 11 games. 8 conference games, one Power 5 OOC and 2 trusty servant Patsy's. Then take the winners of all 5 conference championship games and tell them to fuck off, because bammer gonna get in and win it all anyway.
