He basically says that Alabama and Clemson are going to play yet again, and the ratings are going to stink.
Even admits they're the best teams.
He then says it's all about "access."
Says they're resistant to change because of "exclusivity" and money.
Insists he's unbiased and tries to deliver "the game."
Complains the people in governance have a charge to move it forward, to make it better. Complains about the Power 5 taking care of themselves but not growing the game.
Notes the Big Ten is "out" yet again and has the most homes.Thinks the ratings should match AFC/NFC title games, har har.
He IS right about the after-the-fact justification by the committee. "Whatever is convenient at a given time." True.
Says it is "borderline corrupt" and then thinks UCF should be in it. And it wasn't right that UGA fell after almost beating Alabama.
Says Alabama would have made it even without beating UGA.
They talk about UCF.
Thinks UGA is "one of the four best teams." Says they only picked OU because of politics. Basically, they excluded UGA because of Notre Dame (says Tim B). Says he doesn't understand why Kirby Smart got stupid on 4th and 11. Says Saban assistants repeatedly do this - and he cannot understand why. Smart was basically admitting they couldn't win it straight up. "Alabama did what they always do."
"Most of the Twitter storm comes from the Alabama fan base. They are the most vile fan base out there (on Twitter). They always miss the point."
Brando now dismisses the Fiesta Bowl - and starts making the case that LSU has "built-in excuses" if they lose, it is a glorified exhibition. You see, UCF should play Clemson in a 2 versus 7. The NY6 are awful bowl games other than UGA/Texas and maybe Ohio State/Washington with Meyer leaving. Advocates UGA playing Michigan rather than Florida. Says the playoff has RUINED the bowl games (but advocates an eight-team playoff which further reduces it. Logic is not his strong suit).
Now talking about Les Miles hired at KU. How is Miles gonna do? Brando loves the hire, recommended Miles, instant credibility, enhances their base. KU is a Group of 5 job in a P5 league. Now have hired one of only four active coaches who have won national titles (he forgets Dabo in his list). Les can put together a staff and recruit Texas. Says they hung with OU for 3 quarters.
Bores me. Now talking about Kelly Bryant at Mizzou.
