[quote]Lol what does the draft have to do with anything?[/quote]
The best college teams of all-time tend to have a lot of players capable of playing against the best of the best.
2001 Miami, 2019 LSU, 2020 Alabama, etc.

No, you need to take the money and win-at-all-costs attitude out of the fans, coaches, and administrators.

[quote]Lol weren't you just discounting their beat down of Florida because they weren't familiar with Nebraska offense? [/quote]
1995 Florida was not physical defensively, nor were they wise to the Nebraska offense. They were the product of a finesse, pass-oriented coaching style.

Not really.
Neither player accounted for a TD and Nebraska only had 9 pts. heading into the 4th quarter. Corey Schlesinger was the star of the gam...

1995 Nebraska did not have an NFL arm or receivers who were even invited to an NFL camp. They were a one-dimensional I formation downhill running team mixed with some belly and speed option.

You don’t think I can show you far more examples of dominant teams beating the shite out of mediocre ones?

I taught in private schools for 20 years and am in my third year of public school. You can implement whatever programs you want and throw millions around but if the kid and the parents don’t give a shite none of it is going to matter.

I have zero sympathy for major college coaches banking millions of dollars who bitch about NIL and the portal as if all this shite is really about education, or like skills, or a leisurely extracurricular activity for serious students.
It is an absurd entertainment behemoth that the players are n...

Get the best players you can (regardless of where they come from) and figure out from there. Players are a hell of a lot more important than scheme. And with an expanded playoff you have a little more ...

[quote]High school recruiting has always been a total crapshoot. [/quote]
I wouldn’t call it a “total crapshoot.”
It might be to some degree on an individual basis, especially with quarterbacks, but collectively the teams that sign the best classes tend to have the best teams. A team with a rost...
