Is there $600 million dollars in Alabama?

Yeah, Alabama is unabashedly proud of being a football school at the expense of everything else. CU will never be that. Personally I'm ok with CU's priorities.
I don't think it's about priorities so much as available resources.

And it's not like this investment is going to put their recruiting or performance over the top or anything...
Yep. Next guy could be hated for having success similar to how Gene Stallings did there. Despite that, there won't be any shortage of candidates.

Yup. Team who wins everything every year spends 600 million to upgrade everything = will have difficulty recruiting or winning.
It’s going to take a long time of Alabama sucking at this point for them to start losing the recruiting battle.
They were recruiting just fine and still struggling before Saban. Bama never stays down long, but they definitely have bust cycles.

He’s worth 25M a year. At least.

I’ll give you that. But at this point with how money is being thrown around for winning? Coaches will line up to fill his spot. Urban Meyer will probably have another heart attack!
Watching the second episode of the Bama Training Camp series and they focus on Tosh Lupoi a decent amount. He seems like a fairly impressive coach, tbh. Add to that a terrific recruiter, and do you think he’s going to be a guy like Kirby Smart who sticks around as DC for a while until the exact right big time HC job becomes available or is he a guy who is going to have to be an HC at a smaller program first?

Think Positive and life will be Positive.
What about him.
Klatt weighs in.. ****s on Pac 12
Pac12 **** on itself.
I get that the bowl performance was bad last year (even thought the regular season record against other P5 teams was solid and Rosen and Falk didn't play in their bowl games) but Washington, Stanford, USC, Utah and Oregon seems like a pretty solid top 5 in conference to me.
1. Washington/Alabama/Clemson/Ohio State/Oklahoma
2. USC/Auburn/Miami/Wisconsin/West Virginia
3. Stanford/Georgia/Virginia Tech/Michigan/TCU
4. Utah/Mississippi State/Florida State/Michigan State/Texas
5. Oregon/South Carolina/NC State/Penn State/Oklahoma State

I could see P12 and ACC being interchangeable at 4 and 5, if you're looking from top to bottom, but Clemson is almost a lock for the CFP and bumps them a little higher. Not sure there's an argument to move the P12 any higher than 4, though. Big 10 is the clear winner, though.
Yeah the Big-10 is no question number one and would be number one if it was just the East lol, but I could easily see how the Pac-12 moves up. The ACC doesn't seem very strong, atleast in my eyes, and that is why people think Clemson will have a really easy time getting to the playoff. The Big 12 looks pretty meh and at this point looks like the conference that will miss out on the playoff and the SEC looks pretty top heavy with Auburn and Alabama (Georgia lost a **** ton of seniors off of last years team so I think it will be a lot tougher this coming season).
I think Stanford is going to be a completely different team this year with what looks like a game changer at QB instead of their normal crap they throw out there. Utah has the bodies in the trenches to compete with anyone as they have shown the last couple of seasons. USC is a competent freshman QB away from being in the playoff conversation, which by all accounts he has impressed those in the media this fall. And Oregon has what might be a first round QB if he can stay healthy. Should be a pretty good bounce back season.
I just went with the media poll for the Big 12 BTW.
Ya...
Just because Texas is going to be good this year, doesn't mean that conference as a whole is going to be better.

Klatt has Horns at 14!?!?
We have no idea if Texas is going to be good this year. That is simply an assumption that more often than not is wrong.
I have a lot of faith that Herman is going to turn that program around. They have the talent, and now they have the coaching. I think they will surprise this year.
They're a QB and a healthy OL away from being top 25.
Well if everybody has them ranked and expects them to be good, will that really qualify as being a surprise?
...every year since 2010.
