How dare you suggest that antiquated concepts like hard work, sacrifice, relationships, trust, teamwork, and humility are required to build a championship contender in the modern college football era?

If Deion again fails to build an offensive line through the portal he'll shut down his QB son a couple weeks into the season to not have him or his draft stock getting significantly hurt.

Do all the recent changes allow multiple redshirt years to enable a coach to hold out his son for seasons in which he can be suitably showcased?

10 years, $130M for Kirby Smart.

I’d say he’s worth it, and he’s earned it.

I assume it will get better with time, but this year's schedule is brutal for the big-12

They already play 9 conference games where they beat each other up, then on top of that arizona/kansas state and utah / baylor play each other in "noncon" games.

Then they play like no creampuffs and then have so few chances to prove themselves against the Big-2 conferences.


The entire 16 team conference has only 8 games against the Big-2, and only 1 of those is by a presumptive top-4 team:
Oklahoma State v Arkansas
Iowa State @ Iowa
WVU vs Penn State
Kansas @ Illinois
UCF @ Florida
Colorado @ Nebraska
Houston @ Oklahoma
ASU v Miss State


Then they have 5 games vs the ACC:
WVU @ Pitt
TCU @ Stanford
TCU @ SMU
BYU @ SMU
Cincy v Pitt

And of those 13 games, 9 are on the road



They'll be lucky to have 1 team in the playoffs

ACC has 20 games against Big-2 / Notre Dame:

FSU v Florida
Clemson n Georgia
Miami @ Florida
Louisville @ Kentucky
NC State n Tennessee
Virginia Tech @ Vandy
BC @ Mizzou
Wake v Ole Miss
California @ Auburn
Georgia Tech @ Georgia

Virginia Tech v Rutgers
Duke @ Northwestern
UNC @ Minnesota
BC v Michigan State
Virginia v Maryland

FSU @ Notre Dame
Louisville @ Notre Dame
Virginia @ Notre Dame
Stanford @ Notre Dame
Georgia Tech n Notre Dame


(Or, it's probably better to count ND as an ACC team, then ND plays 3 big-2 teams, ATM, USC and Purdue)

Even if the Big12 champ finishes unranked the selection committee still has the option to rank only one group of 5 champion which would leave a playoff spot available for an unranked team. That could go to the Big12 champ.
