I know there are other suggestions and none of these will happen, but I like thinking of the possibilities. There's a 16-team Power 5 model, and even a 12-team Power 6 (back to the early 2000s); both could use the current conference names. #CFB #collegefootball #CFP #realignment #NCAAfootball #ESPN

There are several ways to divide up the Power 4 20-team conferences -- close proximity, traditional conferences, previous year's ranking/FPI, etc. #CFB #collegefootball #CFP #realignment #NCAAfootball #ESPN

If we have to have large #CFB conferences, can they at least be regional? A Cal-Miami "regular season conference game" is ridiculous. I'd love to see a Power 4 of 20-team conferences, made up of four 5-team divisions. #collegefootball #CFP #realignment #NCAAfootball #ESPN

1. Don’t lose to unranked teams. 2. At least get into your conference championship game (or conferences don’t matter; I don’t care how big the conferences are). 3. Don’t lose 3 games; unless you did 1 and 2, then you can debate.

Amid the backdrop that more than a dozen members of Trump's Cabinet are billionaires, a reminder that this is what happened to income inequality in this country once the tax rate for top earners was slashed after 1980. Trickle down does not work and top earners' priority is themselves.

I think planting a flag on the home team’s logo after a win is kind of cheesy, but it’s still far less destructive and disrespectful than digging up sod from home team’s end zone. So spare me your indignation, Coach Novell. #Gators

The “let’s reduce the government” is actually “let’s sell it for parts to our billionaire donors”. Just like Putin did. It’s a money grab like none other.

A little bit. This year’s class was definitely behind last year’s ranking, with only 12 or 13 commits, out of a target of 20+. A losing season last year was hurting, but the emergence of DJ Lagway and wins vs LSU and Ole Miss gave UF some huge buzz. Good reasons to be hopeful for next year!
