'19 LSU's defense wasn't just "not great," it was the worst NC defense since 2010 Auburn's, and idk how far back you'd have to go to find one as bad as that.

To be fair, defense is sort of regressing, statistically, like annual inflation adjustments.  But still.  A bad defense, when compared to other NC teams.

Yep, going 9-3 (.750 win %) will be considered elite, just like the NFL.  With the differences between college and pro dwindling, who will want to watch college anymore?

It's basically the worst-possible long-term plan ever.
BTW I don't think I ever called it a good plan. 

That doesn't mean it's not going to come to pass...

Yeah, idk if I'm optimistic or pessimistic, I'm just focused on the FACT that it doesn't have to happen.

There are ways, dude.

Well, there may be ways, but none of them are remotely within my ability to affect outcomes, and honestly nobody is going to bother to ask me. 

And even to an extent that we can say that there is a governing body (like the NCAA) setting the rules, the issue with things like the NIL, transfer portal, House settlement, stuff is that it was forced upon them by outside forces. It can be one thing to try to set the rules that are best, but if state legislatures or the judiciary say your rules can't be enforced... You've got a problem outside your own ability to control.  

Even then, the CFP and the NCAA are distinct legal entities... So even there, the NCAA may only have limited ability to determine how the champion of its premier sport is determined.

So you've got a lot of chefs in the kitchen, and we all know how well that typically works...

Probably won’t be considered elite. It’ll just drive fan bases more crazy.

Depends how much fat is trimmed.....how many peasants fall away.
Initially, no one's going 13-1 or something like that, and won't for a good, long while until there's a regression to a bell curve.

In the summer everyone is supposed to be at their most optimistic, with the season right around the corner. But it's all doom and gloom around here.
