So maybe Notre Dame should have to play an SEC or Big 10 team in lieu of A CCG. I’m tired of the special handling they get.

That's probably a good change to the playoff format. Have the top 8-10 programs that don't make a CCG play a game CCG weekend and only the winners will be considered for the playoff. Part of me wonders if someone who plays 3D chess like Lanning would rather play a first-round game in Eugene than play tOSU in Indy and hope for a bye. The difference this year is I think both teams in the Big 10 CCG will get a bye unless it's a blowout. If it is a blowout, just cancel the playoff and give the winner the trophy.

Welcome to our 3 year nightmare

Are they going to try to convince the new HC to keep Knowles? On one hand he has been successful, but on the other hand the 3 year clock is probably restarting after the purge this offseason. I feel like Patricia has shown that the defense last year might have been more of a result of the players and whatever happened after the Oregon game than Knowles. The difference is nobody would make a comment like that about the impact Matt Patrica has had on this team.

I think you’re looking at it too narrowly. Yes, there clearly is a shortage of NCAA head coaches good enough to win a championship. Remember that many of the championships over the past couple decades were won by guys who are no longer coaching, such as Sabin, Myer and Orgeron. (I’m too lazy to look it up, but maybe even the majority of championship coaches in the 21st century are no longer on the sidelines?)

But the shortage doesn’t stop with championship head coaches. There’s also a critical shortage of little known, almost behind the scenes guys who can, wholly on their own without head coach knowledge or guidance, create cheating schemes to win games and championships. Those guys work cheap and can keep the cost of head coaches more reasonable…..if a program is sleazy or lucky enough to find one!
