Belichick will be 73 by the time next season starts. Why is it so hard for that generation to just retire and be done with it? 

The generation likes to work.

He has a plan.
Coach for 7 years and then run for Senate.

I wonder if a lot of these issues would go away if they got rid of the weekly ranking show. Maybe drop something like the NET to give people an idea of how teams may be sorted, but you only see the bracket when it drops on Sunday. No CFP poll, just coaches and AP, and then some sort of metric that isn’t a true poll. Think FPI or something like that. I may be missing something here though.

ESPN probably gets big ratings on that Tuesday show so obviously it won’t go away, but imagine the CBB selection committee dropping a tentative bracket through January and February. It would be a disaster. 

ESPN probably wants to keep the show and gets good ratings.

Since there are complaints about teams being left out of the  68 team NCAA basketball tourney I assume there will continue to be football playoff complaints each year.

Something I would like to see is setting up 2 bowl games for the teams that lose in the first round. So they still get a bowl game

I mean, it would at least offer extra revenue and TV exposure so those teams could finish the season on a high note.

Well my thinking to is a lot of it is an experience for the players. For that big neutral field event atmosphere. IU and Notre Dame players are now rewarded with a wonderful trip to South Bend.  And after we beat them ND players won’t even get a chance to escape south bend for a little bit

What’s his plan?  Don’t die?!  He’ll be working at Hooters before long.

North Carolina letting 73 year old Mack Brown and going after 73 year old Bill Belichick.

For Belichick, this sounds more about ego than sound decision.

In 7 years his current girlfriend will be 31 and he'll be looking for a new 24 year old girlfriend.

I think his plan is to get his son a head coaching job

Of all the problems every state faces, this is clearly the one that should be at the top of the importance pyramid.   

Ohio state Rep. Josh Williams, introduced the O.H.I.O. Sportsmanship Act Tuesday... The act would make it a felony offense to plant a flag in the center of Ohio Stadium.

 

Osterman with the perfect response:  "You know what else would stop your opponent planting a flag at the center of Ohio Stadium? Winning the game."

I would like to think that his son could get a college HC'ing job on his own.

Lol... it's right before the legislative session expires and has no method to move it through committee. Moreover... a felony! Lololol. 

A solid job of trolling by the State Rep.

Man I really think Michigan has officially broke the OSU fanbase.  Day is so done if they lose their next game.  And I hope they plant a flag 

[Hovadipo]

It is simply not possible for bucknut folks to get any more lame. Maybe if they started yelling "Michigan sucks!" on a kickoff against Bowling Green in September.

If Day wasn't such an a**hole I might feel sorry for him.

Looks like Illinois may have gotten the most favorable and Wisconsin is probably the most brutal. IUFB has three tough conference games out of the gate.

This year UI had only 2 road losses and Iowa 1 home loss. Great chance for IU to show if they can sustain this or not. They could go 2-1 in that 3 game stretch or 0-3. I doubt they go that 0-3. 2-1 or 1-2 are more likely. The first 2 games are difficult but winnable. A win at Oregon is unlikely.

Multiple outlets reporting Belichick to UNC is a done deal.
