He might be coming and planning to start but it's a helluva jump to the SEC. Even took the great Peyton Manning some time to gain the job and run with it. Hope Nico grabs it and rolls the minute he hits campus but it's a big ask.

Fair enough my friend. That is true. We shall see soon!

He and Sallee think the BCS had it right.

They just shouldn't have rewarded Bama in 2011. The second that happened it threw CFB into insanity.

yup took an entire year and a summer.

Peyton had a diff body build, and, while Nico's head could be same as Peyton's - Peyton was child of a former NFL QB, a very hands on Dad at that.

Now, I hve no idea if they broke down film. But I wager knowing Nico just focused on fball recently, and, perhaps not having an NFL legacy parent - Peyton started race a lap up.

Peyton was also 6'4", 220.

Tht said, talent wise, Nico is head and shoulders above Pey'un. What made Pey'un accel was knowledge of game, and findamentals. Once Nico focuses on proper weight gain, refines his technique in this system - he def has a really really high ceiling.

Def think he needs to come in early thinking its his job. But understand he's only a freshman.

That's always been my take. I dislike the playoffs immensely. They take away from the season, from bowls, and give us a terrible product in their place. It always comes down to 2 teams being miles better (every now and then there's a 3rd) than everyone else.

But then teams like 2022 Ole Miss baseball who finish 9th in the conference would never have a chance to win the tournament…

Conference championships, make all play one.

Remove 8 useless bowl games. Name 4 other non Poulan Weedeaters as part of the new playoff, remove tie ins.

Put SoS back in quotient.

Game, set, match.

Does anyone see a possibility that anyone outside the top 3-4 teams will make noise once the playoffs expand? It’d be wild to see a 10-12 seed when a national title.

And like single-elimination tournaments are any more "legitimate" than just letting the top two over the course of an entire regular season play each other. But bigger playoff means bigger money, and money will always win in the end.

With the top 4 conf champs getting a bye, it'll be difficult. It would take a team like osu, bama or uga that goes undefeated but loses the conf title game to win it without a bye. But this teams would still most likely be inside the top 6.

Nico COULD start next year, but I highly doubt that’s the plan. Heupel doesn’t seem like a guy that says “this guy is too talented, we need to get him on the field whether he’s ready or not.” If Nico wants to start, he’s not going to have to just keep up with Milton in spring / fall camp, he’s going to need to blow the competition away. If all things are equal, expect Milton to start.

I would also argue that Milton starting and having a really good year is better for the program. If Heupel can resurrect Hooker and Milton from the transfer QB graveyard and then Nico comes in and kills it, UT will have even more top high school QBs and top transfer QBs beating down the door to play for Heupel.

JMO.

Even moreso, he’ll need to win the locker room over as well. Not saying beat Milton for the locker room, but absolutely have their support. The current locker room loves Hooker and Minton. Given Nico’s charisma, I don’t see that being a problem.

“The great Peyton Manning” didn’t have the benefit of year round 7x7 football instruction and EE (happened rarely back then…Eric Zeier was the first I remember). He played different sports and enrolled/reported in Summer. Totally different circumstances. And Jerry Colquitt was the established starter with Todd Helton on hand.
