I have always believed the BXII could compete with the SEC till yesterday. I think the air raid is great if you wanna win a BXII championship, but it stands no chance against a pro style play action offense like a Georgia or Bama. I hope Dykes makes adjustments in our offense going forward so we emulate tOSU, Georgia and Bama. Lastly I’m not sold on the 3-3-5 stopping a top tier offense either. Hope the coaches really make some changes if we are serious about winning it all.
Does anyone still think the air raid will get us a NC?

The air raid can’t succeed because the other teams runs a pro style offense? Huh?

I don’t think Bama and UGA run the same offense.
Basically do we keep our identity or adopt a SEC style identity. Seems to me the BXII a very small chance of beating the SEC for the big one.

I think offense was tailored to what we have. The defense was definitely an issue and 3-3-5 did get smashed as JJ predicted. I guess I'm confused about the Michigan now. Clearly it was an outlier.

Did the air raid give up 60+ ? This was a complete team effort
And this isn’t a classic air raid offense anyway

I've often found it a wise decision to base an entire offensive identity on the results of one game.
Or maybe Georgia was the outlier....one of them was, but the reason we lost had as much or more to do with defense as we never stopped them. Not being a football expert it looked like we lost the game on the Line (trenches), both sides.

After Monday night, I am convinced that in the playoffs scheme doesn't matter, players do...and any scheme offensively and defensively can get you to the playoffs.

Good grief. The entire philosophy behind the Air Raid is to give teams with less physical size and talent a chance to compete with those who have more. Leach and Mumme said that from the start. It's about having an offense designed to leverage the strengths of your particular personnel.
If we had the personnel of Georgia, Bama and Ohio State, then we wouldn't need to run it -- or really, we would need to run "less" of it, because elements of the Air Raid are in nearly every playbook in the country today.
Additionally, it was pretty obvious to me this year that this wasn't a pure Leach/Mumme Air Raid. Because we had greater skill, size and athleticism than any of their teams ever had, Sonny and Garrett moved this offense more towards what would be considered a "pro-style" offense in today's world.
If you can't see that the NFL (as well as Bama/Georgia/Ohio State) have adopted many facets of the Air Raid, then I don't know what to say.

Yes, there isn't a team in college or pros that doesn't run mesh concepts...

Yea, too many people taking a National Championship season, adding a crap performance in the NC game, and deciding we need to burn it all down. It was really bad timing, but get a scheissing grip.
