Somebody is always going to get screwed. Besides, getting screwed is an artifact of an aggressive, progressive, politically oriented and tilted-to-the-powerful society.

If we are treated as if we are not D-1 NCAA schools or conferences, and distinguished by everyone, the NCAA, the media, and even it seems our own alumni, as inferior, and unworthy to eat at the same table as the Walmart schools, then we will never have the opportunity to grow into "relevant". On the other hand, if our conference champs are guaranteed a spot in playoff each year, that at least removes the stigma of being an acknowledged step child of the " real" ESPN worthy programs and conferences. Moreover, recruits would know, like they do in basketball, that if they play for a good football MAC school, they have a better chance at playing on the big NCAA playoff stage than say an Indiana, Vanderbilt, Rutgers

Preach on, brother!

Wait, what?

Narduzzi leaves the press box, comes down field-side, and suddenly MSU is on a 14-0 run.

MSU will not be the same football program without this guy.

Wow.

I guess Baylor got screwed too.

So many keep underrating Dantonio and his program.

Guy is absolutely one of the best, right up there with Saban, Meyer, et al.

Someone on here wrote that Baylor was going to destroy MSU. Not so much.

Good coaches get their teams to Fight the Fight until the Fight is done, regardless of circumstances they find themselves in.

Hard to believe, we have so many experts on here.

I don't attribute much of MSU's win to D'Antonio. His gameplan was stifled by a less than stellar defense from the start.

It's no coincidence MSU trailed by 20 pts. until Narduzzi came down on the field to rile up the troops and get them re-focused. As I said in an earlier post, MSU is really going to miss this guy... a lot.

Until Narduzzi started putting heat on the QB it was pitch and catch.

If it's all Narduzzi being on sideline - why doesn't he do it from opening kickoff?

Now go Oregon and OSU. I don't like OSU, but bama is #1 on my hated teams list right now.

I disagree. You can't use TCUs big bowl win as more credit toward where they should be before the bowls.

TCU didn't win the B12 just as Toledo didn't win the MAC West. That's very key. B12 could expand and have 2 divisions to have a b12 champ game which helps teams' resumes, that b12 teams Lacked.

But guess what? Even if they did, Baylor and TCU, both Texas schools, would be in the same division. Thus, TCU wouldn't have even made the b12 championship game, but one wants them to make the Final Four? Ehhh.

MSU beats de facto Big 12 champs (who beat TCU).

Sparty's two losses to the teams in NC game.
