The Rest of College Football

It makes me wonder if he's really that good a coach or if he is just a guy who benefitted from early adoption of the spread.

I think good QB's see that he's a loud mouthed a-hole, and choose to play for a coach who will teach them the game and prepare them for the NFL, rather than being in their grill all the time.

Big ten about to get richer...

Almost $18M per school a year for only half the total non-BTN games? Wow. That tv package would end up dwarfing every conf but the SEC...and the SEC might be trailing by a sizable margin too.

[froot loops]

That secured Delaney a 10 year extension.

[entropy]

Isn't it 15 today strange? So with half they already increased...

Also, what is the sec's?

Going just by the article the current deals are a worth $100 M annually (ESPN for football and some basketball) and another $12M annually from CBS for hoops only. This new deal with Fox, if accurate, would more than double the current contracts for only half the current inventory of games. That'd be incredible if true. If the second batch of games gets only 40% of that, it'd still nearly match the current contract. And this isn't counting BTN revenue.

Not sure about the SEC but their last conference distribution was around $31.2M which includes bowl payouts, NCAA tourney money, playoffs money, etc. Ours was about $32M as well, but if this tv contract is true...that number's going up a lot

Fox will have half of Tier 1, Tier 2 along with half of the BTN. The rest of tier 1 & 2 is open for bidding to ABC/ESPN, CBS (has SEC), NBC (Notre Dame) & TBS/TNT...

A return to ABC/ESPN (Disney) seems pretty likely, B1G pretty much set their asking price with this deal. ESPN might come up short but the B1G probably won't take significantly less than what Fox offered for the other half of Tier 1-2 unless they want less inventory, which is very possible (they have tons of other CFB.) What inventory doesn't get bought by Disney or Turner goes to the BTN, which just makes the BTN more profitable.

Saw this on twitter from a writer for TSN and thought, hey, it's the offseason! So, I think it's pretty clear that Alabama and Ohio State are currently atop the CFB landscape, in that order, and that #3 is many furlongs back........

Good stuff.

I'd take issue with #3 is many furlongs back and it probably has something to do with class size. In this instance, once you get into the 3-10 of the 247 Composite Rankings it gets dicey.

Both ND and MSU are trending downward and I didn't look at the rest of the numbers that closely but USC hasn't delivered on its highly ranked 2014 and 15 classes and neither has LSU ...... yet. Maybe they both will.

Based on 247 there is a clear break between 1, 2 and then 3 but I remain skeptical.

I do think ND is ranked too high being on top of tier 3 and until Les delivers, so is LSU.

MSU? Meh ....... there's no way they are going to sustain their success which was built on M's monumental decade long collapse.

I'm good with FSU and Clemson in tier two but I'd put M in tier 3 somewhere after LSU or OU, drop ND to the bottom of that group at 9 and drop MSU to 10 in tier 4.

Georgia with a new coach remains an unknown,. They could be good to great, they could be shit.

So .......

1. osu
2. Bama
............

3. FSU
3b. Clemson

............

4. LSU
5. OU
6. M
7. Oregon
............. (this line is really fuzzy)

7b. ND
9. MSU
10. USC
11 UF

This is probably the trend going forward, as ESPN's "bubble" has burst and FSN1 is drowning. Neither entity has the cash to pay the kind of contract they signed/bidded for the SEC and ACC within recent years, but the BIG can raise the ceiling by going dutch.

Buchanan:

That sort of reads like a recruiting post as opposed to top program post. But you may have been focused on the future and hence looking at recruiting. Also, there's no way Clemson can't be on your list. That had to be an oversight.

Anyway, I feel pretty good about my top 4. The rest is murky. I readily admit I like ND more than others. And I think only a M fan would put M at #6...I think they firmly belong w/ Florida and USC as under-delivering name programs with a good chance to remedy that.

[Jeff Buchanan]

.......That sort of reads like a recruiting post as opposed to top program post. But you may have been focused on the future and hence looking at recruiting. Also, there's no way Clemson can't be on your list. That had to be an oversight.......

Right, fixed that and, UFR, added another tier.

You are also right about your view that only an M fan would put M at #6 but I'll defend that by stipulating, yes, this is a forward looking list. In my view, M has the most potential of leaving all the teams I ranked below them in the dust and gaining substantially on the teams above them.

Wow...so 11 PAC12 schools voted to retain satellite camps, with UCLA being the 1 vote to ban them. The PAC's rep to the NCAA went against instructions, and cast the PAC's vote for the ban.

That rep was UCLA's athletic director, Dan Guerrero.

Interesting. I thought it was odd that the Big Ten was the only vote in favor of retaining satellite camps. If nothing else it was an opportunity for the rest of the country to stick it to the SEC/ACC.
