So ND is in, Miami is out, right? Clemson is in with a win and out with a loss. I think SMU should be in even if they lose. If aggy wins tomorrow and loses to UGA does Bama get in or aggy?

Try telling that to a player. If they agree and walk away they're fucking pussies. I have no problem with them pushing back.

Ideally yeah, but they just supposed to stand there and let it happen? I don't blame them at all for pushing back.

Nah, I don't like either of these fanbases, but Ohio State protected their field from another Baker Mayfield incident, and I don't blame them, take the win and celebrate with your fans dipshits.

Or Ohio State for letting him get away with it, they should have beat his ass.

Shit happens. Considering we haven’t had a year like this since 2005 I’m not gonna act like we should be invulnerable to a shitty season. Gundy isn’t getting fired and the suggestion of it from inside and outside the fanbase is ridiculous. If he wants to retire I wouldn’t lose any sleep but he’s not getting fired and regardless of how you feel about him after this season you don’t fire a guy whose solely responsible for our current relevance because of one bad season. He needs new coordinators though and if he’s too stubborn to do it I’ll be pretty pissed and hope for the best knowing he’s not getting fired.

I’ve been there and agree. There’s nothing intimidating about 90,000 homos swaying back and forth and singing showtunes from the late 1800s.

My SIL got a free turkey from work and I'm responsible for cooking. I think I'm going to quarter it and smoke the breast and roast the legs and thighs in the oven. I've seen both the whole breast section smoked bone in and I've seen it taken off the bone for smoking. I'm thinking boneless, I want it to cook as fast as possible without sacrificing flavor. I've also seen boneless cooked without the skin. I've given up getting good smoked skin but I'm thinking of leaving it on for the smoke for moisture and taking it off late in the cook and reseasoning the breast. Lots of butter involved obviously. Wish me luck.

I have an SMU degree in my wall, I’m all for them blowing up however it happens. I think Clemson’s “blue blood” run is over. FSU is a wildcard, not sure if they’ll go the way of Nebraska or find their way back, I think the latter. SMU will be a regular at the top because most of the ACC is dogshit. Which changes my mind on CFP spots. ACC will get two in more often than the Big XII because the bottom half of the ACC are punching bags to inflate records while the bottom half of the Big XII will always be salty making it harder to come out with fewer than two losses at the top.

Our freshman QB was finally given a chance and looks good. Defense still can’t stop a light breeze. Shedeur and Hunter are gonna have a field day and I don’t see how we stop it unfortunately.

The chaos champ is very unlikely. Each upset is possible and at least one is likely to happen but all of them happening in one week is extremely low odds, but who knows, would be fun to see for the lols I guess. And lol at status being “cemented” in one season. The ACC will have plenty of years with 2 or 3 loss champs and one spot. The fact that SMU came off the AAC bench and dominated those fools says way more about the status of the “mighty” ACC.

I agree. If the top Big XII teams were 1 loss it would be different but both conferences are beating each other up and sec gets the edge.

I want to make sure I'm following the conversation. Are you suggesting that only the Big XII teams should avoid FCS opponents to try and improve its perception in the new landscape, or that everyone should stop schduling FCS? The disconnect I keep having is the criticisms of Big XII teams playing FCS when literally every program but Texas does that every year. I get the sense that maybe some are talking specifically about the Big XII to help perception and improve the chance of getting mroe than one team into the CFP. I'm just not sure it would change anything in that regard.

I guess I just fundamentally disagree that adding an 11th P4 opponent every season would make any sort of a difference in perception of the league come CFP time. The helmet schools will always get that benefit of the doubt, as will the second tier SEC schools, without ever being questioned for playing FCS and G6 schools. If anything, playing a tougher noncon schedule just increases the possibility of an extra CFP killing loss since our margin outside of winning the conference title is razor thin. As far as my school goes, we have Oregon home and away the next two seasons, then @Arky, then Bama home and away. I just hope we get shit back on track for at least some of those years, our non-con shouldn't be questioned in the Oregon/Bama years, and Arky always might be decent.
