QMany Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 The SEC is going to be allowed to make up their own rules. What's new?!? Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 16-2 vote - wonder who voted against? Quote Link to comment

louisianared Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I have no problem with the P5 autonomy vote. However, I am totally against a P5 only schedule. One of the things I enjoy about college sports is watching the little dogs have a shot a the big boys once in a while. To me that is what makes college football great. If it becomes P5 only it will be more and more like the NFL, which is a bad thing. I have no problem reducing the number of games against non P5 schools, but I don't want to see those game eliminated completely. It was fun watching Appy State - Michigan, Georgia Southern - Florida and Boise - Oklahoma. Quote Link to comment

With the championships on the line, and ticket prices becoming more and more expensive, no one wants to see Nebraska play 3 out of the 4 non-cons they have this year. Tell me what would be more intriguing to watch, Huskers vs Oregon, Oklahoma, Miami, Georgia or the schedule they have now? Quote Link to comment

My question is how many people will continue to show up to games when these 8-4 and 9-3 teams start finishing 5-7 or 4-8 because of the lack of rent-a-wins. To me you will end up with the same 3 or 4 teams winning every year and the gulf between the haves and have nots will get worse and worse. And to be honest, I think it would destroy college football if you kill off the smaller schools and turn it into NFL -lite. A great draw of college sports is seeing the little guy make a run. Take that away and you take away a big part of college sports. Quote Link to comment
Micheal Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 So the SEC might actually have to play some non-FCS opponents mid to late in the season, don't see them voting to play only Power 5 schools. Quote Link to comment
AgMarauder04 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 There are plenty of bottom feeders in the Big 5 who are WORSE than FCS schools. Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 There are plenty of bottom feeders in the Big 5 who are WORSE than FCS schools. Even K-State lost to NDSU. Quote Link to comment

huKSer Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Should change thread title to: "Power 5 conferences + 1 extremely arrogant has been school" Sorry Notre Dame Joe Quote Link to comment
