Time for the 2023 NCAA football primer!

Latest recruiting rankings... A few more seasons of this, and ND is back! 

102760.png

In order to create the most comprehensive Team Recruiting Ranking without any notion of bias, 247Sports Team Recruiting Ranking is solely based on the 247Sports Composite Rating.

Some updated news, UCLA and USC petitioned and were accepted into the Big10. A shrewd move my both teams. I can understand from the Big10 perspective that in the modern era of college football regionality doesn't matter as much as it use to. The Big10 and the Pac12 has always had a tie through the Rose Bowl. Also, if we are heading towards few, and larger, super conferences then the Big10 is solidifying they will be one of them. 

The next domino to fall might be Notre Dame to the Big10. ND's primary TV rights is with NBC, which now has succeeded in getting rights to Big10 games. ESPN has been locked out of Big10 games under the new Big10 media rights deal. Right now, ND needs to spend about $100 million to get out of their contract with the ACC. Teams in the Big10 are reported to get like $65+ million per year in their new TV contract. So, I could see ND easily absorbing that amount. 

I try not to be such a romantic about things. I do not mind eliminating regionality to college football. With the now every expanding NIL deals for college football players, restructuring makes sense to me. I think the current 120+ schools for D1 football should be split up into the top 40-50 teams who actually want to spend money on football seriously, versus those that don't. They can still have football, and still play the upper devision, but they can have their own championship. 

Only 13 teams have won the BCS championship or college football playoff. If you look at the top 40 teams who are willing to spend money on college football, close to half come from two conferences, the Big10 and the SEC.

  • iacas changed the title to NCAA Football 2023
  • 1 year later...

Well quite the opening day! But the predicted winners pretty much came through with of course the exception of Ohio Sate stinking it up with their 20-3 win over cupcake Indiana😃. OU took ArkSt to the cleaners with their 73-0 humiliation. Oregon 81-7 to poor Portland St. Best game was Colorado beating TCU! Congrats to coach Prime!!

Afraid I missed the games but might need to find a replay of Colorado-TCU.  1 game does not mean Colorado will be a contender.

It may have been that TCU could not prepare a game plan given lack of video to understand Colorado’s abilities & style of play and then was not “good enough” to adjust when needed.  Next week Colorado’s opponent will have tape to review.

Yea, new QB, three new OL, on the road, and very bland play calling equals that! I am just glad to see the defense give up one play over 20 yards. Last year, they just had big malfunctions on defense. We pray the OL starts to gel.

Well they’ll be unchallenged for the next couple of games until they play ND. That will give Day some time to figure out what’s to be done. Did you watch the CO/TCU game? I thought it was easily the most entertaining game Saturday.

2023 gonna be monumental as we lose some famous rivalry games for 2024. No more Bedlam, no USC/Stanford. I’m looking forward to the 12 team playoff program, for now. A win vs ND for OSU will probably be the spark for them. They still have enormous talent on that team.

You missed the best game of the day.    It was an entertaining, fast-paced, and very offense-oriented game.   TCU had plenty of game film to prepare for Coach Prime.   If anyone watched Jackson State last year and their great season it was very similar but with better overall talent.    If Colorado continues to improve, they will contend for a good post-season bowl.
