i am not sure I understand. Why are they having to trim rosters? I thought they were allowed to dress more than the 70 for bowl games.

The 1/3/4/7 offenses are in the playoff.
Those teams are 1/3/27/48 on defense.
The top two teams in the NFC just played a 46-42 game this weekend. The #1 scoring offense in the league is Baltimore. 8 of the top 10 scoring offenses in the league would make the playoffs if they were to start today.
I am not going to say that a great offense and a mediocre defense will not win you a few football games but statistics will prove that having a better defense wins more. In that NFC 46-42 game, which team had the better defense? Do you think that #48 defense in the CFP will win it all?

My question for Notre Dame fans is how long are they going to keep Brian Kelley around without winning a national championship? I can't think of any other coach for the Irish that has been their that long without winning one.

So what you are saying is that NUMBERS do lie!!!
I am just saying that you have to look at the correct numbers. 😀

"Defense wins championships" is the most outdated idiom in football at the college and pro levels these days. Have a semi-elite offense and a defense with a pulse and you should win 8-9 (college) 10-11 games (pro) minimum in this era.
Look at the four teams in the CFP.
Look at the top of the NFL standings.
Records/numbers don't lie
I disagree.
"Look at the four teams in the CFP." Clemson, Ohio State have the #1 and #2 ranked defense
"Look at the top of the NFL standings" Dallas has the best offense in the league and sitting at 6-7.
New England has the best defense and the 15th best offense.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they join the ACC by 2024. Probably the most likely move. Whether that lowers the number of big TV games or not is another story.
I am not sure that a big TV contract in today's world is as big of deal as it used to be. In today's world you can pretty much watch any Power 5 school that you want to see every week.

I have a problem with the whole "My team is better because we played more ranked teams" argument. Most college football schedules are made 5 to 10 years in advance. How does anyone know that far out what kind of team they will be playing. There needs to be a better way to measure teams.

The point the article makes is valid: Did anyone else who finished in the Top 25 play 5 other teams that also finished in the Top 25?
And I wouldn’t say they have gotten the “benefit of the doubt.” What they have gotten is a Bowl bid that sometimes exceeds their season accomplishments because the bowls are about making money and drawing TV viewers ... and they still are the biggest draw in college football.
I think now that there is a football playoff you will see a decline in viewers for the rest of the bowls. Teams that had hopes of a national title at the beginning of the year look at the rest of the bowls as a participation trophy. You are going to see more and more of the stars on those team sit out the bowl games and without those players there, you probably will not fill the seats. It's time to expand the tourney.

While I do believe that the committee got the top 4 spots correct I think 5 - 25 is a complete joke. IMO Notre Dame will continue to get punished for being independent. If they played Clemson's schedule this year they would be undefeated.

I thought Evan Neal, freshman all-American, ended up starting over him?
That is true but Neal can play multiple positions. I think Deonte Brown(redshirt junior) will go to the draft this year and Neal will move over to the right guard position and Ekiyor will start at left guard. But that is just my opinion.

I have a feeling Emil Ekiyor from Cathedral who is currently at Alabama may enter the portal. Was given a shot earlier in the year and got hurt and may never regain his spot.
He came back from injury and saw a lot of action towards the end of the season. I was at the Arkansas game were he played a lot and he looked really good. Of coarse it was Arkansas but still looked solid. He is second on their depth chart so I would doubt that he leaves.

Just over a week away, and wow, what a difference just one year can make. Based on what we saw last season, I would say Navy has exceeded expectations, while Army seems to have underachieved. Army broke the losing streak last year, but having seen Navy play a few times, I given them the upper hand. I LOVE watching this game every year and hope to experience it in person some time. I love the pre game traditions as well. This is a game EVERY football fan needs to watch.
The Navy unis are pretty sweet
Army's are too.

I don't think it would work out to well for Urban in Dallas. Actually won't work for any coach as long as Jerry Jones still owns the Cowboys.

I am assuming that you don't have to win all 300 in Indiana? Either way congratulations to both coaches. A great accomplishment.

So your breadth of experience watching the border bowl says Owensboro isn't worth our time? There you go again Junior... I can tell you that Owensboro Senior and Henderson would be significant upgrades over Forest Park ,Tell City and North Posey for the larger PAC schools (no offense to my small PAC brethren). That said I agree with P74....SOS is the biggest fallacy on the GID....nice to have but not necessary for success.
I agree with that. As a fan I just like to watch competitive football games. I would pick a 8 point loss to Southport over a 74 point win vs Pike Central any day.

Across the River is no challenge unless u head east on 64.
Owensboro Finished in the final 4 of Kentucky's class 5 tournament. Their only regular season loss was by 2 points to Central.

Well on a positive note, after HH gets done with Danville tonight, I doubt that we will ever here from ole Jimmy Boy again.

100% agree.
Danville would have been the 5th best team in sectional 32

Not at all. Heritage Hills has a great team this year. It will be fun watching them play in LOS.

GS doesnt know much lately about playing in November.
That is funny coming from a Danville fan who has only played in Nov 4 out of the last 10 years where GS has played in Nov 7 out of the last 10 years.

I think Memorial's dominance the last three years has gone almost unnoticed.
2016- 9 wins 4 losses 3A Sectional Champs
2017-14 wins 1 loss 3A STATE CHAMPS
2018- 14-1 3A STATE RUNNER UP
2019 they get bumped up to 4A and win regionals and currently are 11-1. They are the favorite to win semi state as well.
What other team has been bumped up due to the success factor and made it to semi state or state?
I know of Cathedral and New Pal

Yes, the game day itinerary says a Mooresville student broadcast team is streaming the game.
Correct me if I am wrong but don't you have to get permission from the IHSAA to broadcast any tournament game?

You made it out of the regionals one time in 34 years. Yeah I just hope one of these days we can be as good as you.

I would have thought that those conversations would of happened after the spring practices before the new recruits are officially on the team.
