12 teams. The 5 highest ranked conference champions (which will by definition include a mid-major), and the 7 highest ranked remaining teams at-large. Now most years, those 7 teams SHOULD include 1-3 out of the Big 10, and the SEC gets the rest. But will politics come into play? Will they try to impose an artificial conference quota and throw an extra ACC and/or Big 12 team in there? When I look at the SEC for next season, I see at least 6 teams capable of making the field. Maybe more depending on how LSU and OU reload. If they all play up to expectations, will they make it? Or will 1-2 of them get snubbed in favor of a middling Clemson or Texas Tech team (for example)? You know, out of "fairness". What you are saying is that if ANY team will get screwed over, it would be us.

We've talked about you being in IT, but what your specialization?? You probably told me, but my memory seems to be fading Business Systems. I own the HR systems for 8 bottlers across the US. About 60,000 employees. SAP, SuccessFactors and various bolt-ons. I consider myself very lucky. In the middle of my Junior year at UT, I took an accounting systems class. It was hard as hell but I loved it. My job today is really just a macro version of that same class. You are in Networking, right?

Oh okay. I was in Dobb's major. Aerospace Engineering. Was a junior in 87-88, I think they did the transition in 88-89, but I was a junior two years in a row because I was a co-op student. I graduated in 90. If you were a business major, you were probably one of the guys I always heard talking about what to do the rest of the day when walking home from class. I was always studying...business majors were always like "should we sun on the roof of Carrick? Go to the strip? Hang out at Gus's". I get it?. You were one of the nerds who couldn?t get laid?

Me too! We were there at the same time, apparently. What was your major?
Accounting. Went right after and got my Masters in it as well although I am an IT guy.

He's coming back He may be our starting RB in the Citrus Bowl
IMO Wright is gone to the NFL and I somehow doubt Small plays
I'm just excited to see what more more year of off-season conditioning could do for him. He could put up historic numbers.

Everyone knows the LV Mafia is going to install Kara Lawson next. They'd rather lose with one of Pat's girls than win with an outsider. But maybe this time will be different. At least she has National cred.
