Crum didn't do that winning with 7–8-man rotation after losing 3 of his top players. No HC is going to do winning you're outlining here after losing 3 of their top players, especially in this era.

How many coaches would continue to play a style that requires a 10 man rotation when they only have 7 healthy players? The onus is on Kelsey to now give his players a way to be competitive being down players. Continuing to play at the pace he likes to play will result in fatigue and since he likes to shoot so many threes, poor shooting.

Of course I was not saying he could win without his best players. The comment was more about his system and his doing the things that will help his team. The same legs you shoot with or the same ones you play defense with. A tired player will not be productive.

So who plays?

If they are,we might as well chuck it in...the program not the game. Those wheels better already be in motion to keep Brown and Watson on campus. If they're not,what's the point anymore?

I agree. If we can't hold onto freshmen who got to play full time in their first year of college, what's the point recruiting them? May as well go with just transfers from year to year until this madness ends.

Unless you are Clemson and win your league ship game. Then you can be in.

Do you think if TX beat UGA and gave them their 3rd loss that they would have been left out?

The SEC mafia would have gone berserk. Even worse than Bama, Ole Piss, and USC jr being left out. The hissing would be unbearable. Suchi s life in the fast lanes.

Right. I forgot about Clemson having 3 losses.

I was praying for Texas to win that game just so we could watch the talking heads bend over backwards to justify putting a 3-loss UGA team in over a 3-loss Ole Miss team that beat them by 18 points, even though all three Ole Miss losses are worse than UGAs'.

College Football began its slow death spiral in 2012 when Missouri and Texas A&M moved to the SEC.

How on earth are we supposed to take the playoff seriously when the #1 sports network in the world has a 10-year contract with one specific conference? When you combine the initial shift in 2012 with the TV contract and the seismic and absolutely insane move to add Oklahoma and Texas to an already 14-team conference, you can clearly see what the college football playoff is angling to do. They are setting it up so that the SEC can dominate the playoff and consistently get at least 3 but as many as 5 teams in the 12 team field. The fact that Alabama was even in the conversation for a spot is all you need to know. You can't even realistically use strength of schedule rankings because a lot of that is based on rankings and points spreads which ESPN also interferes with. It's hard to get ranked wins when ESPN doesn't rank you. Promoting Alabama when South Carolina and Ole Miss both have better resumes is yet another glaringly obvious example of what the college football playoff is trying to achieve. Alabama's nonconference schedule included WKU, USF, Mercer and Wisconsin - you can't schedule much weaker than that.

Miami has nothing to complain to about. They should have lost multiple games this year and still lost to Syracuse and Georgia Tech - two "not bad" losses but two losses nonetheless. You can't put Miami in over SMU. Unfortunately you can't put them in over Penn State and because of the Penn State and IU wins - you can't put them in over OSU.

The 12 most deserving teams got in. YOU CAN NOT LOSE 3 GAMES and be considered for the playoff. In the end not losing games matters more than who you played.

Man how do you really feel?

If it wasn't the ACC doing this whatever conference we would be in....likely would do the same. Like you I used to think just win and it won't matter. Not so sure about that anymore. The Cards are just the red headed bird that gets no respect.

I strongly dislike what CFB and CBB have become. I am losing interest fast. Maybe its my older age setting in and truly understanding that $$$ is the root of all evil that is turning my POV. Its like, 'Well hell, what's next?"

Its just not fun anymore. I really feel for the coaches. The players are just a product of this 'Me first, everything goes Wild West environment that has been created for and by them.'

I wish they wouldn't play this game this way. It truly is toxic and unsustainable. The ACC is what it is. I would prefer the B12 or some combination of 20 ACC/B12 with 2 dividions that excludes the NC mafia. That would teach them. Alas, that is just my pipe dream. UNC/Duke/WF/NC State can just bite me. We got to know you and you are .............
