Beating the (whatever is permissible to say here describing Briles elimination products) out of them. There is no more arrogant a team, or school, in the US of A than these folk from University Park, Dallas Texas.

I understand the sentiment but Ivy League schools think they’re above logic and reason, so there’s that.

For our next two league invites we should take both Cornell AND Hofstra. Slaughter..

I like the divisions, but prefer a 9 game schedule. However, I’d also like to see all P5 conferences go to 9. The primary holdout, and it’s obviously working for them, is the SEC. From what I’ve read, they’re considering 9 to coincide with their expansion.

We need to play the same number of conference games as the SEC. Big advantage to play fewer conference games in a larger conference.

Florida, Tennessee, Auburn and LSU are good enough programs to have been able to win national titles in the past 25 years. What conference can even come close to having that kind of top to bottom success? And it's not all because of their scheduling. They beat up on each other quite a bit too. They play 8 conference games, not 5.

It's just the best college football league by a good margin. Period. How anyone doesn't recognize that is beyond me. Best recruiting classes, highest paid coaches, best facilities, most passionate fans, best of everything really. It is what it is.

You forgot highest paid players. LOL

I agree, but I’d rather watch an extra conference game…if the other conferences play 9 also.

Peterson: A plan to preserve Big 12's fair football scheduling even with 12 teams, two divisions

“Re-shuffle division members every two seasons. Or re-seed, if you prefer that word.

Place the first-place team in one division, and the second-place team in another, and so on, back and forth. The odd-numbered finishers in one division, the evens in another.

Sure, that means switching up the divisions every two or so years. It does, however, provide some semblance of equality in a conference that no longer will have that equal scheduling we liked so much.

Why every two seasons? To preserve home-and-home scheduling.”
