Indiana scheduled North Texas, Howard, and Western Kentucky in the non-con.
5 of their 6 B1G games have been one-score and every conference team on their schedule who played lost last weekend.
This isn’t hard.

Dare I say who he sounds like
Kalen DeBoer on Hey Coach: "I can tell by the questions as I go through interviews throughout the course of the week that everyone outside of the building hasn't watched Vanderbilt. They haven't watched them."
"Our guys understand what it looks like. They're preparing for it, and having a good week of practice right now."

All CFB decision makers had to do was add a 13th or 14th regular season game, mandated as cross-conference weeks like CBB does, and keep conference titles.
You’re playing the same amount of games, elevating the regular season, and whittling down the best, most deserving teams.

This is much better than last week.
The logical inconsistency of Alabama > Texas > Tennessee remains but (1) I understand their reasoning and (2) it will sort itself out.

Coaches are finally saying the second and third order consequences of all of this out loud.
The soulless corporate bureaucrats didn’t take 5 minutes to consider or care about the logical conclusions of their actions.
Eli Drinkwitz's comments on the elimination of conference title games.
“You know, I’ve thought long and hard about this conference championship question. Times are changing, so you’ve got to adjust with the times. But my question is why are we associated with conferences anymore if we’re not playing for a conference championship?
"If the point now is just to be playing into a sea of 24, are we just doing it for scheduling affiliation? If we’re just doing it for scheduling affiliation, is there a reason to be flying all the way across the country to play games from a national perspective?"
Considering soulless corporate bureaucrats have destroyed the sport, a G6 playoff would be their best route forward. It might even yield enough money to keep a few players from being poached by the G4. Embrace the idea of being a national champion in your own tier.
Sources tell me a G6 playoff would be worth approximately $200 million annually. That’s about $3 million payout per school annually. Given that the average g6 budget is about $21 million. A 14% annual bump would be attractive. I wrote around 2019 that a G6 playoff would be worth $166 million. So a 21% increase in that projection is significant. Nothing imminent but interesting numbers especially with @Brett_McMurphy reporting 2/3 of g6 coaches favor a playoff.

When Pate’s in a flow state, he’s unmatched.
The intellectually bankrupt framing of CFP expansion as this 1:1 value proposition of trading bowl games for playoff games is the stupidest part of it all.
Whatever value bowl games had was fixed to begin with…you either care or you don’t. The only value you’re actually redistributing here (not creating) is coming from regular season Saturdays.
Unfortunately there is a small but influential group of people incapable of defining value in CFB unless a CFP sticker is slapped onto the sentence.
Here’s to hoping proper leadership is in place by the time this deal expires.

Absolutely yeeted him.
Alabama made a point last night to be the more physical and nastier team. Which has been a criticism of them a lot during the KDB era.
