@utee94 it's apparent you just want to argue... condescending? eff you. i went out of my way, if you would have read, to explain my position and it isn't giving one team something nor taking away from another. it's a freakin' concept. it would be a good thing to discuss the 'concept' without team blinders on.
take your longhorn glasses off and give it a shot- or don't.

player position while the play unfolds either O or D.. scheme.. executing... right now, is
still the best measure. there has only been a few games so far where teams got under each others skin. week five behind us, week six inbound, conference games and cards on the table insofar as recon of the opponent- we'll likely see more, but not as much as we'll see after week nine. so WATCHING the 'execution'- the timing routes, the misdirection in the backfield, the LACK of procedural penalties, we can see who is better coached and who is better prepared, and which teams
understand their purpose. And... the top tier down to the "point five" tier offered are playing heads and shoulders above the rest. .... this isn't unusual... what is a little unusual is the very top tier is playing a game with tools others CAN'T, and it's my 'offer' here that THIS 'attack' is not only the RIGHT NOW, but the FUTURE of the game.
I recall watching the SECCG when Saban and Meyer met.. I recall thinking "it's old school vs new wave", and old school won. However NOW, 'new wave' IS the game Saban plays... along with that top tier. HE moved. Riley already did under Stoops but with his own tweaks.. Clemson is playing same, but following a trajectory more akin to Bama's approach.. tOSU is playing that approach, implemented by Meyer but being expounded upon
now. Texas under Herman who is from Houston has been doing it for a long while but is positioning the Horns to follow right into this {right now} 'exclusive' club. LSU may be in 'it'... UGA may be 'in'. Auburn may be 'in'. Oregon has been fiddling with it a while but seem to have faltered of late. The pirate made his career on 'it'. Boise may be where it started but never had the tools to pull it off like the big boys can.
how the hell someone can take this discussion as 'condescending' and an affront is freaking beyond me... it's about schemes and components and STYLE of play... what i'm suggesting is a changing of the guard and pegging the direction of the game for likely the next ten seasons, until someone else comes up with something that 'works better' and has the balls to implement it.
