Yes, I agree with what you’re saying. As a fan, I often fall into the trap of believing college football, at the highest level, is about competition and providing a quality product. Then I have to remind myself it is not. It’s about providing money for the university, scholarships for a few, and the salaries of a relatively small number of folks. Of the 130 teams in the FBS division, roughly 90-95% have zero chance of winning the CF Playoff on any given year. Every administrator is aware of that and they do not care, as long as they’re getting paid. Parity is an after thought because we are still willing to pump millions into the industry without parity.

Prediction: The champion for the 2021 season will be one of the following:

Ohio State
Ala****
Clemson
Oklahoma
Oregon
Georgia
Florida
Miami
Penn State
Texas
Notre Dame

And realistically, that list is probably way too long. That leaves 119 (118) teams with zero (0) chance of winning the CFP. They are only playing for the fun of it and/or to provide money for the university.

Edit: I’ll throw in LSU, too. But that’s a stretch.

You can put Tennessee in there for 2021 and put a 100 on it.You down for a bet $100.00,?

When Maurer is out there don't it to you look like it's the missing part of the offense? I am probably wrong but he looks like he could be great if given a chance and not hurt. It doesn't mean I am set with him I hope HB and Slater know they can beat him out. JG didn't have turnovers this game so that is a good sign but I just think there is a limit there.

I really don’t. It was probably what caused the most of our little argument a couple weeks ago. I don’t see any quarterback as the missing link as of now. I think BM has abilities JG doesn’t, but I also think JG has abilities none of the other qbs have as of yet. There’s a lot of problems within this team though. The quarterback just gets the spotlight. If the o line doesn’t improve, an doesn’t matter too much IMO. I also realize blitzing six makes it really difficult for the o line. There’s problems everywhere except for #11 on defense realistically imo

What are the exact terms of the wager? It must be something clearly defined and exact. Nothing ambiguous that is left to interpretation.

Tennessee wins the CFP?
Tennessee makes the CFP?
Wins the conference?
Wins the division?

Or what?

But Gray was running good and Chandler backed up good , if Maurer was in he could add running yards and he can throw and he is healthy. JG had good passes he didn't turn over heck play both but if JG goes south again Maurer becomes the QB if he is bad and I just don't think he will be bad but if so I am down for HB and next year it will hopefully be Maurer Bailey and Salter competing we are getting better in positions it's just taking 4 years. Year 3 is a messed up year 2020 is crazy I didn't think I would see football.

It’s posts like this that make me regret ignoring the zone for so long. I don’t know if this a true story, a Zoner inside joke, or a movie reference that I’m not recalling.

We disagree greatly on Mauer’s passing ability. I think we need to leave it there.

True story.
114 worked for me for a while. He was sitting outside the house while my US Marshal Neibor thought he might be a criminal so he tapped on 114s window with a gun.

Did you see the time JG had against Al@**** to throw the ball I would have hailmary to Hyatt before half and after I don't think they would stop it.

I have nothing in him but if he could play and not get hurt he would be like a Tee Martin. Except I think he could go pro early. Next year possible and that would be great for Tennessee.
