[QUOTE="hfhmilkman, post: 3236205, member: 74736"] Again, if you believe TCU was a NC team in 2014, look at what the TCU players on that team did in the NFL verses the other NC teams. Name a National Champion team that did not have scores of NFL talent. I don't know how good or strong the Big12 was in 2014. There is a claim that Boykin may have been a better QB. If he was so good how come he was an NFL undrafted free agent? What about the receivers, the RB's, the lines? Now compare to a NC team. Look at Boykin's NFL draft profile? Inferior size, inferior arm strength, adapted to a gimmick offense, and legal issues last. And why not build an NFL franchise around an air raid route tree? Because it does not work against superior athletes. This is the meta game of why spread and air raid became popular. Both offenses do not require an elite recruiting program to build a successful season. You only need a QB who can run the offense and a few skill players who get it. Look at the NFL drafts for 2015, and 2016. Doctson was the 22nd pick as a receiver in 2016. Dawson as a ILB was the 99th pick 2015, and you had a tackle who was the 183rd in 2015. And you are saying that TCU could match a team stacked with NFL prospects? There is a reason why OSU, Clemson and Alabama have represented half of the positions since the NC format has gone to 4. In fact you could safely pick 2 to 3 representatives before the season began. This may change with NIL as other schools are attempting to buy their way in. If 2014 TCU had a played a NC from 2014 to 2022, it would have been the same. The other program would have two months to tweak their defense and leverage their massive advantage in athletic ability.
