Exactly. Once the top 40 (or whatever the number is) breaks away, then you have some name schools with large followings that could make a “G5” playoff successful. There will be some Texas Tech, Kansas St., Baylor type schools that get left behind and become our equals. That’s when we break away, but not before then.

Thank you. That was supposed to be my point, but I botched it.

A backup to a Heisman Trophy finalist. Hmmm.

My previous post was off topic, but I’m not sure about a guy who left a team that ended up in the playoff. Winning doesn’t seem to be much of a priority.

Not sure if you’re serious or tongue in cheek, but I still maintain that it’s the schools that drive the machine. College football fans are, to a great extent, alumni of the schools they support. Doesn’t matter who the players are, I’m supporting UNT. I strongly believe it’s the same for most other schools. You could run out Denton Ryan* in UNT uniforms vs TxSt at the bowl game and I’ll be cheering for (theoretically) the team in green. *no jokes about how it would be a closer game if this were true.

Not a fan of Deion, but credit where credit is due. He says that zero Colorado players will opt out of their bowl game. “Every last one of them are gonna play," Deion Sanders said. "We don't tap out. We don't sit out. This is a blessing to play this wonderful game. "Our kids are going to play in our bowl game because that's what we signed up to do. We're going to finish. We're not going to tap out because that throws off the structure of next season."

The portal giveth and portal takes away, but it sucks regardless. That being said, I wouldn’t mind the portal if there were limits to how many times you can transfer.

Look at his stats in 2021 and 2022 in what should have been his junior and senior seasons assuming a redshirt season at Texas. Also, Utah was 20-8 with 2 Rose Bowl appearances in those two seasons.

Thanks. I didn’t notice him there. I was hoping he’d get mentioned at some point .

Haha. When I posted, I almost said that “my friends rightfully think I’m an idiot.”

Friends think I’m an idiot for tuning in to (for example) UNT vs Memphis when I could be watching UT vs Georgia.

I don’t think we’ll ever see another deserving player. They may lower the standards to get in just to fill a class, but I don’t think there will be anyone that we, as fans, agree should be in. I think this is pretty much true for all college and professional sports. There will be exceptions, but generally I don’t think most players will stick around long enough to be considered HOF worthy.

Thanks. I also wasn’t considering his contributions as a kick/punt returner. It seems he’s definitely a better WR than I realized.

I agree. Travis Hunter is a special athlete, but is he one of the top WR’s or CB’s in college football? That’s an honest question because I haven’t seen him play much at all. I feel like he’s maybe a very good CB and an above average WR, but not one of the best in the country at either…that a good assessment?

I’ll probably get downvoted, but that’s the way it should be in my opinion…for both players and coaches. Finish out the season that you signed on for.
