While I agree with you, unfortunately, AQ's or at large,

the SEC and BIG will get their slots one way or the other. There is no other option than to start winning in the playoffs and bring home a championship. The scales are tilted, and it's a steep hill, but the right coaching (if you can keep them) and right recruiting will still be a winner. If they can get rid of the player free agency, which I still think they will, beating them on their field will be the pathway.

It is the B10 that really wants the AQ model. As I said, DON'T TRUST B10.**

It’s the P2 that wants you to think they aren’t working together.

You’re right it’s not perfect, but it’s better, I like being rewarded 4 SOS
Stech • 06/03/25 12:14 PM ET
You, and others seem to be worried about the SOS. All you

Sure you can get there by winning a P4, but the at large bids need

Hot off the press! ESPN pre-season strength of schedule rankings.

Don't be cute. You understand full well why people are concerned about SOS-

I don't disagree, but there just isn't much
Big12 guy • 06/03/25 03:00 PM ET
This chaos is the direct result of over expansion and conf champ games
HokieAl • 06/03/25 09:10 AM ET
One caveat I'd add is that the P2 can't create a scheduling agreement
