When trying to figure out how the CFP24 gets divided up between the Networks, you got to remember one thing before you start with your math. The number you use is 23 not 24. That is the number of games that there are in a 24 team tournament.

It’s not just Oregon, it’s a CFB challenge. OL is HARD. And to be frank, I believe the money some young players are making has impacted their hunger and resolve to develop.
Development isn’t a one-way street. Some players think coaches wave a magic wand and BOOM, they become better players. It can be ugly and uncomfortable. And that’ll never change.
But early financial success can create a false sense of arrival. So the discomfort can turn to DISCONTENT real fast. So coaches have to now manage that.
We’re all witnessing a period of developmental purgatory while the game course corrects… and it will.
Yes, due to the transfer portal there are a lot of teams that come together as teams during the season rather than prior to the season.
That is the old age of CFB. The new age of CFB is portal based and far less predictable.

Early buzz is that Baylor is looking for a candidate with deep Texas roots and an offensive background, sources tell @On3.

Uh oh, everyone better lock down their OC's right now.
Oregon is set to part ways with offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer, sources tell @CBSSports
Had quite a few compliments on the rankings last week. It feels like maybe some of those same people are not going to feel the same way this week about them and where some teams may end up.
Another crazy week of CFB is now in the books.
NC State fired both their Head Coach and their football GM. Quite the message. There is urgency in such a move.
There is no resume if they have to mention that they interviewed for a HC job.
Replying to @JTalty
One early name that has come up with industry sources: Former NC State great Philip Rivers.
The successful Alabama HS coach interviewed for the Buffalo Bills HC job in January and has a son committed to the Wolfpack.
What? That cant be a real thing can it? He has had a little bit of high school level coaching.
Maybe hire him as a QB coach in order to get his son.

I was thinking of perhaps doing a series of posts on realignment and what each major conference will be looking for as they move into the Age of Autonomy. Of course money always matters but if you follow all the changes close enough then you begin to see that money is not the only major motivating factor on whom each major conference might see as expansion candidates.
There is a lot to dive into and when that PCSA situation is wrapped up, one way or another, I think we may be on immediate realignment watch.
Is that something you folks are interested in now?
Number 3.
Josh Pate has an issue with how the Big 12 scheduled BYU against UCF:
"If I were Brett your mark and I looked at one of my potential playoff contenders playing Notre Dame and then going on the road in conference play across two time zones to play a rested team. I would have redlined it and I would have sent it right back to the scheduling department and said do better."

Two days later...
Potential changes could be coming that would make reclassifying to DI from DII a *lot* more expensive

The PCSA was drafted to maintain current conferences & prevent formation of a college 🏈 super league.
But in a twist of irony, the push for the bill may have done the opposite.
Schools are becoming more biz savvy with athletic programs and independence is an option for some.
NEW: If independence works for Miami, it would also work for a lot of other schools, via @AndyStaples👀
"If Miami can find a way to financially exceed what it makes in the ACC by going independent, there probably are another 20-30 schools that also could."

The Super League Private Equity folks seem to have found another angle to attempt.

I don't know, maybe? Guy seems to be able to win over a locker room well enough.
NEW: Biff Poggi says he wants the Maryland head football coach job, calling it "one of the great honors of my lifetime"🐢
