    That also, means nothing.  The great thing about college ball is the level of unpredictability.  The appreciable level of difference between teams isn't all that great, with rare exception.  Even then, a team loaded with talent can have a bad one, or just flat be out played by a undermanned squad.  

    I’m not disagreeing with that. A&M had a chance to prove they were a legit team this season. In typical Aggie fashion, they got their shit pushed in by the leprechauns. LSU was ranked 13th and got beat by usc. All I was saying is that the sec has had 4 chances to prove themselves and only 2 teams delivered. 

    B1G is 1-1 in such games. The previously mentioned usc over lsu and um getting fucking curbstomped today.

    I'd say its a real stretch to have A&M as a bellwether for a marquee game, but that's me.  (Perhaps LSU as well, but less of a stretch).  

    They were both massively overrated, but I was just looking at top 25 matchups. And A&M was favored in that game.

    I’ve never chanted SEC, except sarcastically. 
     

    but in reality, the sec is the best conference and it’s the best by quite a bit. The top tier teams are the best, and there’s the most of them. The mid tier teams as well. 
     

    We get to find out for real with a 12 team playoff there’s actually going to be a lot more comparison between conferences at the end rather than just bowl matchups. 

    The most recent playoff had 2 current big ten teams beat 2 current sec teams. 

    Both of those team were gutted by turnover since then so it’s not applicable to this year but the SEC being the best by quit a bit is pretty laughable. 

    The SEC has had 4 real tests this season and they’re 2-2 in them. UGA over Clemson and Texas over UM today were both strong statements but probably more indictments of the current state of Clemson and UM. LSU and A&M both shit the bed in grand fashion. 

    but more to my point, 2 weeks into the new conference and you’re already millimeters away from tiger droppings levels of conference pumping.

    Yeah, but what plays are we going to call with our last 30 seconds?

    They shouldn’t have a chance for the miracle play. That kick should have happened as time expired.

    michigan hardly ever plays night games. even #1 ohio st vs #2 michigan would be played at 11AM

    Its fox. Psu - osu and psu - um have been noon regardless of location the last few years. Last time a combo of those 3 teams played outside of the noon slot was 3 years ago when ABC had Psu @ osu. Psu @ wisc, ore @ osu. All should have been night games. But Fox is happy to move the marquee game to noon for a few extra ratings points.

    I don’t understand why the clear marquee game today was set for an 11 AM kickoff. The prime time slate is pathetic. 

    FOX puts their biggest game of the day at noon, have for years. Something about it being the most watched time slot. 

    it’s fully regarded.

    Silver or someone like that tweeted that the winner of PA has a 90%+ chance of winning it all.

    The constant barrage of political advertising I see in PA says that both campaigns know this as well. Watching football is a beating. Every single commercial break has at least one political ad. 

    The overwhelming message from the Trump campaign is that illegal immigrants are ruining everything, inflation is all Kamala’s fault, and she’s soft on crime. That’s it. That’s the extent of their message. Some form of that on repeat.

    Also sort of interesting to see that 1 campaign sends a mailer 2-3 times a week while the other campaign hasn’t sent me a single one. 
     

    Edit to add that some portion of Trumps advertising also claims that he total has absolutely nothing to do with project 2025.

    trump gives zero fucks about the election results. his money will be spent on lawyers post election …

    I don’t think this is all that surprising. Trump was giving up on everything other than PA and GA, while not expecting that NC was in play. 

    in his calculus, he had to win PA and GA, thought that the rest of the blue wall was already lost, and that NV and AZ didn’t matter. 

    Thats still the only path to victory for him. Win all 3 of NC, PA, and GA. Lose any of those and the election is lost for him. The polls show it that way too. He’s most likely already lost the rest of the blue wall and the western states don’t matter. 

    Kamala has to try to win everything that’s in play outside of those 3 to make it so that unless Trump can win or cheat his way to all 3 of those, she wins.
