Im sorry all playoff supporters. If that is what we want, the Rose Bowl as it is will take a back seat or simply be changed.

Urban Meyer on the type of player he wants:

“I don’t go out and recruit a certain player. I recruit the best player, and competitive nature, his desire to win, is without question the most important thing. I used to be into, ‘Is he a three quarter [throwing motion]? Does he have four fingers on the laces or five?’ I don’t care anymore.”


“Will he choke you to win a checker game? If he does that, I’ll take him.”

Doesn't mean they are going to play a playoff in Pasadena, but I'm sure they want it to keep it in a spot of prestige in the remaining bowl games, as it should be, given its history.

It is inevitably going to drop in prestige with a playoff of any kind, even more so with the Big 10 proposal of using home locations for the top seeds. (unless the rose bowl bids to be THE spot for the NCG)

And the more teams you add to the mix for a playoff, the more irrelevant it, and its peers in the current bowl setup become. (again, unless the above)

I guess I understand their thoughts on it, but I just dont see it as very realistic if they move forward.

That was quick

I figured it would follow shortly after the official announcement. I like that Bedlam was moved back to Thanksgiving weekend.
