See SUCCster’s the Butkus and Lott award winner is only good enough in poll voter eyes to make only one first team All-American.
Yet SUCC boasts/claims 11 FB NC’s based on the same cockeyed, useless, sordid poll process – NC’s not worth the cost of the paper to print the cheesy poll FB award on.
Tell Alabama or Notre Dame that; they’d tell you you are stupid and to shut up or they’d make you.
And I suppose the present system is perfect, what with the voters deciding who are the “Final-4.” Better than the old systems, but still not waterproof.
Not perfect, but those four teams will COMPETE to win the first, fairly real, Div 1 FB NC. Competition is a more realistic evaluation of who should be crowned a FB NC.
John, these trolls don’t want genuine dialogue. Do us all a favor, and just pretend their entries don’t exist. Even a troll will get bored eventually, if treated as though he’s invisible.
There’s that talent any coach in the conference would trade for, right? What a maroon.
USC has B- talent in PAC-12.
