You may be right, part of that parity I’d argue was due to the fact the “champion” was decided by a group of writers strewn across the country so it allowed for a few glitches in the system. They were more the exception than the norm. The BYU championship was in 84 and GT/Colorado shared it in 90. Outside of those 2 you have to go back to 1960 Minnesota to find an “other” winning a championship. It’s all Nebraska, Miami, OU, OSU, Mich,ND, PSU, FSU, FL, USC, LSU, Bama.
The previous system allowed for some opportunities of someone sneaking in, but it was more for sure than reality.
I will continue to believe we are heading towards a super league for college football that breaks off the top 25-35 teams from the rest. The expanding SEC is just a step along the path.
The last first time national champion was Florida in 1996. I think that fact says all that needs to be said about anyone not currently in the power structure competing at the very top.
Now watch me have to eat crow as TCU wins 2 games.
Word was the OU qb (cant recall his name) could RS and the Badgers would depend on a vet transfer for the yr. If that is the case BA could be in the mix although I think he’s an awful fit for even a new look Wisconsin
BA needs to go to Ok State, put up 4,000 yards passing in Gundy’s offense and get drafted in the 5-7 round range. Would be a great way to end his college career.
He’s taking advantage of the extra year the NCAA granted all UVA seniors due to the tragedy. It’s how Faumi, Micsh, Kam Butler and others are able to return
What year was Canty? Was he running around Watson?
He actually used to host a pregame radio show in Dallas when we was with the Cowboys that I caught a couple times. Flexin with Chris Canty - he was really good.
Man, agree this was obvious, but I hate when guys transfer in conference so much. My rational brain has to respect that a guy has to do what he has to do to feed his hypothetical family, but my irrational uva fan brain just gets really mad about the betrayal, especially since it is already so angry about Tony bennett’s utter incompetence when it comes to lineups and recruiting and jersey colors and such. Damn, now I’m not sure I can even get to sleep tonight.
I’ve run into Canty a few times in nyc. Awesome dude. Extremely fortunate one night to walk into a bar in meatpacking and he was with Ray Mann, Justin Walker, Jay Dorsey and a few other former UVa teammates. Chris has a camp in the summer and brings in a number of his ex uva teammates to work camp and hang with him in the city. One of my best all time trades; tequila shots for uva fball stories. Bar tab left a mark but no doubt i got the better end of the trade. Ray Mann alone was worth every penny.
BA the all time everything QB for UVa by numbers and may finish at another acc school is too much for me. Would be like Shawn Moore played his last year at Maryland or some shit
Nah not even close to me. Shaen is all time Uva carrier the program to the greatest highs. BA beat VT once. The stats are impressive but not the full story like saying Russ is the greatest player of this generation.
