JFC, grayshirting has NEVER been cheating in any way. It in no way takes anything away from a player, nor does it get a program extra players. Seriously, learn what you're talking about.

As for no sites giving a players age, then how do you know Bama has 25-30 year old players? This is like your misinformed nonsense about penalties and refs every week.
Yes It has.

Not knowing the thing exists and cheating is a very fine line.

It was Cheating to recruit and not need, then send them down the line. Just to keep them on the line.

If my child got recruited by Bama, and then they sent him to Alabama St./you name it FCS school... for 4 years, to juice and play intermittently... only to get benched and scourged for 5 years with the promise of something that will never exist....

Then be told You should have chose differently....

Ya might wanna look into the kids that are used before you defend something you don't understand.

Cheating/Ethically wrong/... Same-same

Looking at that FSU v L play just now made me realise I'd love to see some arse WR go to jump a defender and get mid air thrown into the crowd.

Bama would beat Texas right now. Milroe is a different player.
I agree with you, but if Bama jumps Texas, that basically means the results of games don't matter. The Committee has always been consistent in respecting head-to-head matchups- they'd be crazy to change that now

The quarterback who beat Notre dame this year… my god this year was disappointing
I wouldn’t say he “beat” ND with 145 yards passing. He participated by not doing his normal Jack Plummer things like turning the ball over in the red zone staple

There's more to it than just that single data point. The committee's supposed to look at a team's entire body of work, not just a single game. They also, like almost everyone, give more weight to recent performance than what happened months ago - teams get better, others get worse. They're supposed to determine who the four best teams right now are. A head-to-head matchup 3 months ago is just one factor in that equation, not the only one.

By all means, explain. Even better, show me the NCAA rule it violates. You know, right after you show me all the Bama players who are 25-30.
This Is the same arguement I hear in politics. Show me.... It's actually childish and you are above this.
I'll leave It alone If you can show me 18-22 year olds on Bama's roster. The starters.

Easier for a fan of the team they defend to show the team's information to someone else, then it is for me to find the hidden information you say exists.

Well ND has a strong case as we won our last 2 handily.

Oh man! That FSU-Louisville game is a real barn burner! 3-0 late in the 2nd quarter. It's like watching sex at the nursing home.

Their recent results are pretty similar all things considered. Probably doesn’t matter. FSU ain’t getting in so it’s probably Bama, Texas, Washington and the team that’s struggling with Iowa.

You're the one who made the assertion on grayshirting being cheating and Bama's roster being full of 25-30 year olds. I asked you to show the rules it violates or provide any such ages. If you make outlandish claims, it's on you to back up your assertions. If you can't, be big enough to admit it.

These nightcap teams stinks. Even more depressed about ND’s season now

It's not outlandish. It's just not talked about on main stream networks now days... It's really not that hard to see. But Ok

I don't need a psychologist to tell me what is already easy to understand... as usual tho,... It's what they're best at.

I think Michigan, Washington and Bama are in. The fourth team is the big question. I agree that FSU is probably out. They're mediocre. I think the last spot is Texas or Georgia, and you can make a compelling case for either. No real idea what the committee does there.

Texas has to be ahead of Bama, I don't see how you avoid that. That means Bama at 4, Texas at 3. So Georgia would be out.

To be clear, I doubt that Texas would beat Bama or Georgia now, although its not a slam-dunk, but its one of those 'otherwise why play the games' situations.

Lol. Michigan’s offense is not that good.
Well, they've looked like crap against the only 2 teams they've played with a pulse.

They may manage to score more, but that's just because Iowa's defense will be continuously left out to dry by that other side of the ball.

What isn't hard to see? The NCAA rule you claim is being broken? Show me what NCAA rule you insist grayshirting breaks. Show me all these Bama players that you insist are over 25. If you don't like me holding your feet to the fire, then stop saying ignorant, misinformed nonsense. Don't make stupid claims you can't back up.

Iowa Is a top 4 D in the Country.

Iowa and us have so many similarities, I just puked my dinner up....
Iowa played one of the most offensively inept schedules in the country this year. The best offense they played this year was Penn State, and they gave up 31 points to them. And as we've seen for much of the year, Penn State's offense is very mediocre.

Iowa's defensive success is neutralized by their sheer ineptitude on offense. They're constantly being left out to dry.

As I said. Show me the ages of any players on a CFB team. The SEC has been doing this little secret since Circa 2005-08. I know this because I know 3 different players that are no longer on the teams they had It happen on.

Are you calling me a Liar? It's fine, but a little misrepresented.

As I can't name my source's, you can't show me ages on any roster since the mid/ to late 2000's.

Feel like ND would have comfortable been 12-0 right now against Iowa’s schedule.
