Meanwhile, Syracuse and North Carolina National Championship banners are still hanging despite 20 years of academic fraud to keep players eligible.

My original point that you tried to disprove with "numbers". By my previous point and count, there are 7 players that play the majority of the minutes, 6 that all played 20+ together last year. Thanks again for confirming this.

Just pointing out that the mostly sophomore team are more experienced than their classification indicates. The core 7 players played together for 30+ games last year and 18 this year and most averaged 20+ minutes a game last year. That's a lot of game time for freshmen last year, which...

Majority of rotation players are SO, JR, SR. By today's standards, I consider that veteran. Unlike Duke, UK, KU that turn over their rosters every year.

Missouri is a young team that is starting to gel and it has superior talent to UT. That's why they won. Recruiting rankings exist for a reason and usually don't lie. The Vols are a plucky veteran bunch that plays hard. This will lead to success early in the season, especially vs younger...

Because they tend to lose these games? Check the W-L record of the G5 vs P5 New Years 6 bowl game the last decade.

Was thinking the same dang thing. With all the emphasis on targeting and defenseless receivers, how they missed a blatant clothesline was insane.

If an 8 team CFP playoff existed, there is no scenario where a G5 school is excluded. Otherwise, I believe there would be a major lawsuit filed by the non P5 schools. So yes, they would have been in the playoff.

You do realize they were 12-1 3 years ago and have played in 2 Fiesta Bowls in the last 10 years, right?

Boise is not a one hit wonder. 1999 10-3 2000 10-2 2002 12-1 2003 13-1 2004 11-1 2006 13-0 2008 12-1 2009 14-0 2010 12-1 2012 11-2 2014 12-2 2017 11-3 Peterson was the coach from 2006-2013. Boise has had almost 2 decades of highly successful seasons, with 4 different coaches...

Except they beat the 4-8 team by 4 touchdowns while Michigan and Michigan State barely beat said 4-8 team. When P5 schools won't play UCF, Memphis, et al, the only comparison that can be made to judge how good a team is to compare how "respected" P5 schools fared against the common opponent.

Most experts' 8 team playoff would have all 5 Conference Champions, the Group of 5 representative, and 2 wild cards. The current system sucks when a team that didn't even play in their Conference Championship game gets to play for the National Title. It sucked last year when it was Ohio...

They were 12-1 in 2014. The cupboard wasn't as bare as the ESPNtards would have you believe. 0-12 More a product of aging coach mailing it in and then quitting midseason than lack of talent.
