It’s a strategy yes. But 29-40 seniors, 9 of the RS is in uncalled for and should be capped. Why? FIQ. Another why? The next coach has to restructure. It ruins a lot more than you think. I’m not whining, people have their opinions and seems like the overall consensus is half and half. It’s not like I just lost to him or something and I’m dishing it out. I’m simply magnifying ideas that could better the game. My solution? Keep the strategy but add a cap.
I don’t know why we’re arguing about what’s a strategy in the game or not. It’s a loophole that needs to be capped with a more reasonable number. Oh and trust me. I have tons of ideas that can make this game great. I run two businesses, successful ones. Wanna hear my thoughts on real life college football?
Expand to a 24 team playoff. Shrink to 11 in season games. Get rid of conference championships. Rank conference based on in conference records. 2 non conference. 9 conference. 5 auto bids from P4. 4 bids from G5. First 8 have byes. First and second round are at home. Quarter finals (elite 8) have bowl locations. Elite 4 another bowl location. Championship is rotated. Bring back the Computer ranking system instead of committee. Appoint a commissioner (Andrew luck? manning?). All players have an amateur contract. Transfer school has to buy out the contract. (USC pays Pitt for Addison). Demote some G5 schools to FCS.
wild idea but could work: Final 4 and National championship at same location. One big mega fiesta. Example: Location: Jerry World
SAT JAN 14, 11 AM (Ohio State vs Alabama)
SAT JAN 14, 3 PM (USC vs Texas)
SAT JAN 21, 6 PM (Winners)
24 team playoff? Yes, let's just totally ruin things. 12 is pushing it for me, but I'll accept it with the auto bids if it keeps SEC and Big 10 from total control, which they may try for anyway. No conference championships but have auto bids? Good luck with as many teams are in conferences now sorting the tiebreakers. Computer rankings instead of committee? I actually agree, but those rankings relied on polls too, just less so and more people than 12 in a secret room. Commissioner, fine. Contracts are fine, but how about the player who blossoms between JR and SR year? Agree the Portal needs controlled better, hence the commissioner idea might help. Why demote G5 to FCS? That doesn't really fix the biggest issues.
Back to class stacking here. Why is it uncalled for? I told you the better fix for FIQ is to have it's growth largely plateauing after 2 years, maybe even a good bit after 1, in the system (start of JR year). That's much more realistic than FR and SO QB's tossing picks left and right even if they have elite skills. If FIQ is your issue, fix it directly, not just something that only has an indirect consequence of it. The redshirt limit, as I also said, already deters the strategy, and I'd like that maybe raised to 5 or gone altogether.
