Drones is happy to collect NIL money and hopefully a degree
Nice start to life to have a couple hundred thousand in the bank, at least I hope that is the case. All of this NIL money will change the trajectory of a lot of young people's lives. Glad they are getting it and not the schools.

If Az St can do it so can VT
Pry needs to get out of the way and find some good coaches and a game manager.

ESPN and Fox hold all the power - they like it as-is
They get all the games and don't have to pay more money out. Nothing will happen until all these contracts expire in 2031-2033. By then VT will be a shell of what it used to be. ESPN actually owns the SEC network.
B10 - 71M per year per school
SEC - 55M per year
B12 - 22 million per year
ACC - 17 M per year (2036)

They shouldâve kept the seedlings as is
The conf champs can be given a spot but the fake elevation because of that is what messed it up. Oregon got screwed and Penn St got a gift. They should also reseed after the first round like the nfl does.

They created the polls there needs to be some point of reference
And agree Boise is good but who else did they play? How would they do in the SEC?

They do that to prop up the non B10 SEC conferences with artificial
importance. How to you move someone from 12 to 4 "because they won the B12". That is laughable.

That would be more fair for sure
And to think these dopes are running a multi-billion dollar enterprise. Athletic and college admins. Nice.

Yeah I stated that - I'd be pissed if I were Oregon - now Penn St
will likely get through. I don't think Oregon will beat OSU twice. Oregon should've played Indiana or Boise.

I actually have no problem giving the P2 the top 4 seeds
In this scenario you have B10 vs B10 in one semi and SEC vs SEC on the other is top seeds win. Then you'd have B10 v SEC in the championship. They were trying to project the lesser conferences for sure but now you have a jacked up quarterfinal.

It's probably been discussed so apologies to the board police to post again
But they really screwed up by automatically giving the bye to the conference champion. It makes no logical sense to do that. Boise vaults 6 spots to 3 and Az St 8 spots to 4. You can't do that. In addition they move the seedings drastically. You can't do that either. Two critical errors. Idiots running the show.
The final poll is:
1 Oregon 13-0
2 Georgia 11-2
3 Texas 11-2
4 Penn State 11-2
5 Notre Dame 11-1
6 Ohio State 10-2
7 Tennessee 10-2
8 Indiana 11-1
9 Boise State 12-1
10 SMU 11-2
11 Alabama 9-3 (out)
12 Arizona State 11-2
Clemson is 16
Clemson should have played ND and the winner gets Penn St - this would have been a better game
Az St should have played Ohio St with the winner getting Texas (Texas Ohio St would have been epic - Az/OSU likely a blow out as well)
SMU should have played Tennessee with winner getting Georgia
Boise St should have played Indiana with the winner getting Oregon
I could understand giving the conference winners the home game.
Now you have Penn St playing Boise and Oregon having to play Ohio St - that's outta whack!
