Maybe I'm not up on the lingo these days, but how do you "quicken up a commitment"?

Entirely misleading clickbait headline. The gist of what he said was “Send Texas back to the Big 12, they aint ready for SEC ball”

But even that isn't a truly apples to apples comparison. Ajax can point back in their history (granted back before the current generation of fans that only remember life pre and post Ronaldo) and point to Champions League titles. North Texas has no such history to cling to, and yet we still don't want to abandon a system that has been shown, time and time again, to not truly include us.

The fence doesn't have a gate though, it has the illusion of a gate. And that illusion is kept around for two reasons: 1) Most importantly to the "elites", it keeps programs like North Texas (and their fans) believing that "if we just do this or that and get things to break right, we could actually compete for a championship." It's why you hear asinine things from G5 coaches like "our end of year goal, a national championship, is what we strive for." Every team in G5 is the nerd that is told that, if they play their cards right, they might get invited to the prom queen's post-prom party...because maybe, just maybe, she'll finally admit she's loved us all along. 🙄 2) If you pretend your system has a way for the little guys to compete for a championship, you hamstring the most glaring anti-trust arguments. "Your honor, we haven't built a monopoly in college football, just look at Boise that we let play in the first round of the playoff"

And take a look at Alabama, right after they were left out of the “playoff”. https://www.on3.com/college/alabama-crimson-tide/transfer-portal/wire/football/ Or aTm https://www.on3.com/college/texas-am-aggies/transfer-portal/wire/football/

Enjoy watching them this year. The system is designed to scavenge their roster and ensure they don’t threaten the “elites” for long.

As a prospect. Jase Bauer, Ankeny, Quarterback

He’s safe then

I already get free tickets to this game…so that makes me a maybe.

I would ask you how a team with no wins of significance was #8 to begin with. This was the pollsters and committee trying to pretend the ACC is relevant and being backed into a corner once they realized ranking them all year means you have to honor that.

Make it make sense. SMU is in the playoff because of their “body of work.” So, let’s examine that body of work. They have played two teams that are in the current Top 25…and lost to them both. In the final Top 25, they put SMU at #10. I can only assume it’s because of how valiantly they lost to two teams that are ranked below them, #16 (ACC Champ) and #17 BYU. Where is the body of work?

Tell me how SMU is the 11 seed and the team that just beat them (Clemson, ACC Champ) is the 12 seed.

Southern Miss finished 1-11 (dead last in the Sun Belt). So, what do they do? They’re gonna go take the coach of the league champ. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/42851886/sources-last-place-southern-miss-targets-champ-marshall-coach

We don’t want that. They play decent football.
