I enjoyed your article on the 4 Super Conferences but have one question. I understand 3 of your 4 conferences would be the Pac12, the Big Ten and SEC. I can't figure out what the fourth would be and what teams would make out that conference. Very confusing.
@Douglas: Thanks for the comments.
My take on Texas and Mack Brown has less to do with his record (141-39) and more to do with his lack of championship success.
And for the record, Bob Stoops is 139-34 in 13 seasons; ahead of Brown's pace.
And Stoops has seven Big 12 titles to Brown's two.
By any measure, Brown can't even be called the best coach in the Big 12.
Again, it depends on how you define success, and for my purposes, I'm comparing him to his contemporary—Bob Stoops—and he's coming up a bit short.
David, I generally agree with your takes but beg to differ with your comment that the Longhorns have been more miss than hit under Mack Brown. He has won 140+ games in his 14 years and there can't be many coaches that can match that record.
I enjoyed your CFB stadium "bucket list." However, as far as the Cotton Bowl is concerned, I believe they were host not to the Dallas Cowboys, but rather the Dallas Texans(now KC Chiefs). Also, I would have included the annual Texas-OU game.
Sommebodddieees Jealous!!!!!!
It's downright disgusting the people who B/R allows to write so called articles. Jag-off.
who asked you?
Big Ten homers are just so desperate to find some rationalization for why the Big Ten is not inferior to the SEC...........

Here is the quote from the above referenced article (that you should probably read) illustrating that you don't know what the hell your talking about:
"That means exactly half of the 26 champions crowned under these rules [Dual Poll Era NC's] either didn't even participate in a bowl game or lost their bowl game after being crowned national champion, while only half actually went on to win a bowl game."
As for Ohio State: "a systemic problem of repeatedly breaking the rules" - are you kidding me? Seriously? Tattoogate was tattoogate and Tressel paid for his sins, and is still paying for his sins. This is a program that has one of the highest graduation rates in big time CFB, has had very very few run-ins with the law, sends kids to the NFL and produces Big Ten title after title. We want the program to be clean and by and large it has been. Yes, Gene Smith should be let go and what he said was moronic; but look at Tressel's full body of work. There is no way that this was a "systemic problem" of repeatedly breaking the rules. The car thing turned out to be nothing. NADA. DiGoralamo over paid a few kids working on his construction crew -- paid them union wages rather than summer wages . You had tattoogate and a few overpayments by a rogue booster and that was it. C'mon, man. Are you really a Wolverine fan? Is that why you continually bash Ohio State?.
Ive looked at your whole list and you dont know very much about college football obviously...four of Bama national titles are dubious at best? youve lost your rabbit ass mind... there are four that should have been counted more like it...1966 should have been 3 in a row for Bama...we were the only team to go undfeated and untied and was the 2 time defending champs...now thats robbery...look you and every other hater just know this Bama has every major record...most national titles and most bowl wins and apperances...ROLL TIDE
