CFP….what a farce…

I hope everyone will see this year how ridiculous a 12 team playoff is in FBS college football and it will be even worse if we go to 16. There is to much money in college football and the top 8-12 programs have most the money and decided advantage. The first four games were all blowouts and the sad part is the way it is set up is next year the games in the next round are OSU v Oregon, ND v UGA, PSU v Boise, and Texas v ASU. The sad part is the 4 best teams right now will be forced to face one another in the quarters….Boise and ASU have no business and will get exposed…but sadly we’ll lose two of the best teams in the quarters because of all this ignorant yammering for inclusion…the truth is, and what I have been saying for years, at most in any given year only 6-8 teams have a chance to win a title. ND, PSU, and Texas all lost key players the past day playing a useless game where only the ignorant didn’t know they would win handedly.

A fun look at the history of bowl games

FOOTBALL RECRUITING Bulls Scoop 12/1

Here is the latest on where things stand with several targets



The long-time USF commit Sean Poret took an OV to FSU this weekend. The Noles are losing another OL commit any day and I expect they will take Poret here late. He has been taking a lot of visits and seems to be fishing for something in the P4.

JUCO RB Waymond Jordan got to see fans boo and yell F-Gus and all kinds of stuff on his OV. I can't imagine that went well. I'm waiting to hear back from him but given his timeline I like USF's chances to close there.

The Bulls remain very active in trying to close on WR Carl Jenkins. There hasn't been a lot of movement with him and new schools lately. His recruitment has been very odd. He was supposed to take more visits and then those didn't happen and he has really just been to USF and UCF this fall.

CB target Akondrae Chaney and WR target Christian Neptune are two guys I'm keeping a close eye on this week ahead of NSD. They Bulls would like to land both and they have some serious P4 interest, but USF has done a good job there.

I expect LS Alex Nocco to end up in the class as well.

There is one surprise guy at least I can't put out there yet ahead of NSD as well.

FOOTBALL RECRUITING Michael Penix Jr. update

Lot of stuff going on with him right now, he completed his OV to USF and is up at Indiana right now. He left from USF went to the airport an flew up there. FSU is pushing to get the last OV next weekend, the Noles offering is certainly a curveball, but he is third on the pecking order at QB for them behind Justin Fields (UGA commit) and James Foster from Lanier HS in Bama.

USF staff felt like they made up ground with Penix, but as many have said it is an uphill battle.
