Now we are going to see how serious this administration is about winning and improving the athletic department.

Id be lobbying my ass off

I think they got it right. Should make for 3 very good games.

Little surprised they didn't match Oregon v. Ohio State in the Rose, though. Should have been a nod to history.

 

But maybe that's the reason they didn't - clean break with the past.

I'd offer the big 12 an 80-20 split and they add 4 teams with no increase each year.

I'm thinking its Bama vs Oregon for the title and Bama wins.

[BuckeyeBull9257]

Bama has a big flaw but its also their greatest strength:  Amari Cooper.  When he gets covered and can't break off for huge gains, Bama struggles and becomes surprisingly mortal.  When he is able to outrun his cover and make those plays, Bama dominates. 

 

As for the Big XII.  We should to our best to lobby for a spot maybe with Cinci and UCF.  I don't think football-wise we can make a huge "we deserve this argument."  But we have a solid athletic program overall.  That's assuming the Big XII makes a move to increase membership and don't just settle on the petition to have a championship game.

Our Tampa market has shrunk... though

 

 

We need to make some shady backroom deals -- to be chosen over UCF and Cincy
