  1. With 4 non-cons to play with, 13 of the 16 SEC schools play only one P4 non-con game in 2025: Arky (v. ND); Auburn (v. Baylor); UGA (v. GT); UK (v Lou); LSU (v. Clemson); MSU (v. Ariz. St.); Mizzou (v. KU); OU (v. Mich); Ole Miss (v. Wash St); Tenn (v. Syracuse in ATL); UT (v. Ohio State); Aggy (v. ND); Vandy (v. VT) Granted, some of them are helmet school matchups that the Big XII won't get, because we don't have any helmet schools left: Bama-FSU; LSU-Clemson; OU-Mich; UT-Ohio St. Some non-helmet schools have good matchups: Arky-ND; UF-FSU & Miami; South Carolina-Clemson & VT; Aggy-ND. Every SEC school but Texas has an FCS opponent. The SEC is better than the Big XII by every metric, including more big time non-con matchups. I just have to always push back on the notion that the Big XII schedules nothing but scrimages in the non-con and are somehow unique. The 9 game conference schedule is also a factor as shown above with the conference strength of schedule metric.
  2. Each result individually is plausible, but all of them happening together seems really, really unlikely. It would be absolutely nuts if it happened though, lol.
  3. Here's a look at the surly Mayfield fanclub. Brotastic!
  4. I just don't think they can "punish" SMU for losing the CCG. If they play Miami and lose then either Miami is the lone ACC team, or Miami and SMU are both in, they can't just let Clemson leapfrog SMU in that scenario. Otherwise, they are confirming all of the concerns that CCG's can be a negative with more risk than reward. They are trying desparately to avoid that perception.
  5. Yup on both. It's not even like Jordan Love was making crazy plays with luck involved, receivers were running wide open without a defender within 5 yards. It continued the entire game, not a single adjustment. Fuck him, forever, and fuck fat mike. If jerry extends him, I'm just not gonna watch until they both are fucking dead.
  6. Very true, I was watching with my then brother-in-law, an OU fan who never attended and held some online degree from university of something. It was glorious.
  7. Yeah no flag in that is complete horseshit. Shedeur probably wasn’t flagged because the ref was trying to separate the players and didn’t know if he was shoved directly or if he was just in the way of the shoving match between players.
  8. Refs got it right adding a second to the BYU-ASU game for a last Hail Mary after the fans stormed the field. ASU coach looked dumb as fuck arguing otherwise. Was probably just embarrassed that his stupid ass clock strategy didn’t end the game. Just ice it with a score and if you fail it’s a 90+ yard Hail Mary.
  9. I see for some they're in the "Mayfield Looks Pretty Good" part of the cycle. That's the part where his teammates say they like him. When he fucks up again and gets moved again we can start all over!
  10. The I-State logo is great except for the bevels. Death to bevels. Whirly bird is hideous.
  11. JFC, you guys are a broken record with alternative facts. Every Big XII team has at least one P4 non-con on their schedule these days (UH and Tech playing Oregon State being the only realignment related exception). Nobody is doing the Bill Snyder schedule anymore and haven't for more than a decade. Of course, some matchups are way better than others, but they aren't all G6 and FCS. Here's are the Big XII P4 noncon matchups for next year: KSU @ Arizona (pre-realignment noncon) ASU @ Miss St. Auburn @ Baylor Baylor @ SMU Stanford @ BYU Cincy v. Nebraska GT @ Colorado UH @ Oregon State (non P4 anymore but still good) ISU v. Iowa KU @ Mizzou TCU @ UNC SMU @ TCU OKST @ Oregon (FUCK!) Tech v. Oregon State (see UH above) UCF v. UNC Utah @ UCLA Pitt @ WVU
  12. I’m talking about going into the game, neither of those was for a national title shot.
  13. Literally nothing to do with fucking “woke” whatever. It’s mocking pretentious fashion commercials like the Johnny Depp one. This country’s brains are fucking broken.
  14. Why would he sit out? Players only do that for meaningless bowl games. It would be the biggest game in Boise State history.
  15. At least the SEC and others at the time played round robin division schedules to earn your way into the CCG. Now the spots can be decided by conference strength of schedule tiebreakers. This new system sucks shit. Just add games to the playoff for revenue and award conference titles based on regular season conference records and tiebreakers. Kiffin is already saying it out loud that many coaches don’t even want to play the CCG for obvious reasons.
  16. Not sure how getting your ass beat at home by SMU is a gift. Seriously, ND is gonna lose their playoff game and it would be delicious if it’s to SMU.
  17. So if aggy and Tennessee win the four way tiebreaker goes straight to win percentage of conference opponents (i.e. conference strength of schedule)? That seems shitty, the teams have no control over who makes their schedule and whether those teams will be any good in any given year, but at that point its really impossible to find any real fair tiebreaker. https://bball.notnothing.net/bracket.php?conf=secfb
  18. For real, DeVito is a fun story, even though he'll never be a big time QB, and the Giants are a truly pathetic franchise right now. It would be like if he were still at OU this year and he mocked the QB of the mighty Maine Black Bears in their non-conference matchup. Take the win and stop being a fucking cunt.
  19. If they end up a conference champs with 3 losses I think they are in the playoff but could lose out on the first round bye. Unlikely, but possible. My comment was about the bye.
  20. As discussed in the other thread, there is a scenario where Baylor can win the Big XII CCG and finish with 4 losses. It's a very unlikely scenario but still possible. I'm not sure there would be any valid argument to rank them above 1 loss Boise and 1 loss Army assuming both win out including their CCGs. The odds however strongly favor either BYU, ASU, or ISU being a 2 loss champ in which case they almost certainly get the 4th bye. A three loss CU would be a closer call.
  21. I'm also happy it happened to Dan Fucking Quinn. I will never forgive him for last year's playoff debacle. Fuck him, forever, he deserves this shit with that shitty franchise in their shitty stadium surrounded by shitty fans.
  22. How does a high school not have helmet costs in their budget? Sure they cost a lot but literally thousands of schools of all sizes and resources are supporting teams including costs of equipment. How is this particular school the only one that needs private donations? Or do schools regularly have private donations for this stuff only only Baker gets the headline?
  23. If the Big XII conference champ has 4 losses, which is one of the crazy possiblities as it stands right now, I think they could very easily get left out for a 1 loss Army or even 2 loss Tulane. I think the rule is written pretty well currently. There's no need to reserve spots for specific conferences. SEC and BIG will never be in that position, but Big XII and ACC very well could, including this year since the Big XII has gone full chaos these last few weeks.
  24. If all of that happens and Army wins next week and in the AAC championship game, yes I can see that happening. A 3 loss Big XII champ could definitely fall below a 1 loss AAC champ, a 4 loss Big XII champ for sure would drop below the 1 loss AAC champ Army. Tulane already has 2 losses so I don't think they jump a 3 loss Big XII champ but could jump a 4 loss Big XII champ. In looking into that question, I just realized that Army-Navy are conference mates but their game will remain non-conference and will continue to be played the week after the AAC championship and after the CFP makes its decision. Just another crazy quirk of conference realignment. The premise is that Army is a one loss team but they could get a second loss a week after the CFP decision is made.
  25. I saw him chattering on his headset way more this past week than I've seen in forever and all of a sudden Gordon breaks big runs like last year and the freshman QB looks pretty good. I don't think the game has passed him by, at least offensively. He's been fine adjusting to NIL, etc., considering our place in the national heirarchy. Again, my concern is that he'll be stubborn as fuck about Bryan Nardo, the DC who he plucked from DIII, to try and prove he made a good choice. He just seems to insist on always making things harder on himself. Let him go and find a new DC, anyone really at this point, because the defense is worse than anything I've ever seen, and that's something considering how bad we've been on defense over the years from time to time.
