I agree 100% about Cooper. Best recruiter, worse game manager. In 1996 when he had Eddie George, David Boston, Terry Glenn, Andy Katzenmoyer, Orlando Pace, Pepe Pearson etc they should have been National Champs, but he couldn't win the big one. Michigan has three key Ohio guys coaching in Harbaugh (Toledo), Durkin (Youngstown) and Zordich (Youngstown). I know both Durkin and Zordich personally, so I am happy for them...but I'll be rooting against them. Harbaugh's biggest problem is he has a hard time getting along with anybody who is a superior, so it will be interesting to see how he gets along with wealthy alumni and administration.
Oscar, you seem to really know your college football, and I agree an 8 team playoff would be more than fair. starting with a 6 team playoff.
look at TCU ignored by the committee, and goes on to wax Mississippi in a bowl game, they were making a statement, as well they should have, without a 6 or 8 team playoff somebody is going to get treated unfairly.
I agree with you and yes, I eat, breathe and sleep college football as well as the recruiting process in high school. I love the NFL, but I like College football a bit better. And if I were a TCU fan, I understand they are upset. We all know FSU did not belong in the top 4, but they were the defensing National Champions and they ran the table for a second year in a row...so IMO, they should have been there as ugly as their wins were. The first year of the playoffs were a HUGE success...Think about, if the BCS was still in place, they would have had Bama v FSU for the game, in which both teams got handled in the Rose & Sugar bowls.
As Uncle Charlie used to say, "Never get into pissing matches with skunks."
