I do feel bad for Washington tonight. Coming up short in the big game always sucks. We know that all too well. But it stings even worse for them IMO with the PAC-12 dissolving. Oh, you're the reigning champs of a defunct conference. Yay. Nope, now you're just another team in the Big 10 whose champ just beat you for the national championship.

Ouch.

While your comment rings through the fog that was the CFP process the last few years, let's not casually look beyond the dissolving of the Pac-12; the Big 10 becoming the Big 20, or whatever it looks like; apparently being a part of a "Power 5" doesn't matter anymore; how much the transfer portal is simply looking like collegiate free agency with the NIL in place, and a 12-team tournament next year.

The end of college football as we've known it for decades is officially nothing but history now. For the record, I have no allegiance to any NCAA team and could not have cared less who won last night. But I can tell you this with a fairly decent amount of certainty- Georgia would have clocked either of those teams last night, and likely any of the 4 teams in the tourney. 

Mark my words- in about 5 years, there will be but 3 "conferences" with about 15-20 teams each that will rule the land and the CFP. The transfer portal and NIL have ensured that the already rich schools will get richer and those smaller FBS schools.... well.... you're left begging for the scraps and maybe a chance to schedule a power house school just too make a few bucks for getting your asses kicked.

Saw it this morning on Get Up and that other morning show on FS1.

 

They were just bringing it up. I don't think there is any legit noise behind it. Just ESPN trying to get clicks and views.

Would you be excited if we hired Belichick?  He is very old but it would cool to see what he could do and I think Evero might stay too

I mean I don't really want him but if we can't get Harbaugh or Carroll then I guess BB is our best chance. At least he brings some credibility to the franchise.

    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
    • The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
