aggy. Im actually surprised they are taking the "scored at will" angle rather than "shut them down". It's the league of defense after all, big boy football and whatnot.

Agree completely, takes the rankings shenanigans out of play for the 5 guaranteed spots, arguing for the final 3 spots amongst teams who really didn't earn a spot is much more palatable. Would it suck to be voted 9th? Sure. Would you REALLY have a claim? Not really. This year we could easily be that 9th team but I wouldn't say we have earned a spot in the playoffs. the only controversy will be a good 10-2 team who gets beat in their CCG to fall to 10-3 and gets passed up for the 8th spot by a 9-3 SEC team sitting at home. Not all that controversial to be honest.

The SEC bias is bullshit and overall it does affect how the MNC plays out, but the committee over the top bias is disgusting. BCS having 2 polls with more or less bias, several computer models with differing biases built in, and some other factor like SoS... well, there was still a bias but it was more evenly distributed. this shit of letting a group of dumbasses decide what's what is terrible. It's a poll with far fewer voters and thus more prone to bias. And it's a poll where fucking OU has 2 of 13 voters with a heavy interest in their own team. Clemson also has 2 reps though their former player doesn't have to recuse himself, maybe he's just not a fan.

We have a great slate of OOC games over the next decade+, doesn't make a lot of sense for us in our current conference route through 9 games and a CCG to try and get to the playoffs. And that's the goal for us, the playoffs and an MNC. It really is tough enough to play 9 conference games, 1 blue blood program, and 1 middle of the pack P5. doesnt really work for them as it would bump an FCS or one of 2-3 G5s. I get it, the scheduled Clemson for a home and away, but looking backward and forward from there and it's mostly lower tier P5 as their "marquee" OOC. SEC is stuck with them, can't see them willingly letting them hurt their brand more Their foal and purpose is to try and be relevant to the ranking system so Bama can get a "quality" win

Oh but imagine aggy misery. They would go from just 1 of 4 MNC winning coaches in all of football to 1 of 3 in their division and 1 of 7 over a matter of days. And if barn gave Stoops something like 80M over 10 years, causing Saban to get a raise, aggy would have to give Baggins a 10 year extension and $10M/yr just to top them. All for going 8-4, exactly what their last coach did regularly for half that. That would be amazing stuff, watching them have to sell off Kroger field piecemail to pay off the later years of that contract after the whole program sinks into debt ridden end of days.

Oh man, that would be fantastic.

Saw the same thing. They were accurate but lacking zip. Also looks like mechanics are different with a longer windup and body throw, trying to get the ball out to compensate for shoulder issue. Is what it is but that sucks, I have 100% confidence that healthy Sam smashes OU like GJ in a 3-some with a couple fertile chicks.

I expect it to go exactly like spurrier at SCar. and he probably landed the job promising Kliff and Chiz, but failing to get those he brings in GDGD and bull Reese, get the gang back together and whatnot.

Get pig, corn, and LSU has got to be sick of SEC bullshit by now, kick Baylor to the curb.

Mack certainly put his stamp on the program on the way out by not leaving 48 hours earlier, though moving down the list to Charlie was a criminal act perpetuated by the worst AD in program history.

Hmm, by owned the state you mean get run over by all the other programs because his strategy was "wait until the seasons over then go try to flip people and/or take the head cases that weren't picked up in the new early signing period"? im pretty sure his recruiting philosophy is more of a next on the to do list than an actual thought out process. Not arguing the players he gets love him, but you have to build a roster piece by piece not just grab guys where you can find them.

In a 4 way tie for 3rd place in the SEC, moving up in the world folks.

Heh heh, sips. We locked up one of only 4 5 6 MNC winning coaches, for 10 YEARS!! It's the long game, in 9 years Saban will be gone, then BOOM! Win the SECw and all the glory and validation. aggy was the first team to think this plan up, everyone else just jealous.

nothing says second dog like being in a 4 way tie for 3rd place in your conference. So you're somewhere between 3rd and 6th, but you're in the top half!

That dude is awkward. On the flip side, that stare

Wisconsin, Iowa, or Pitt those are the 3 I would guess, if aggy gets one of them then SEC is doing work on their behalf.

Team A beat #12 (thank the refs on your way out) and anyone who has seen them play can comfortably say that ranking is generous. #16. Talking about overrated? That's it. There's no #25. They also beat a terrible 2-9 FCS team, 2 G5s, 6-5 sCar, 5-7 klan, and 2-10 pig Team B beat #5 and #24. After that it s 1 G5, 6-6, 6-6, 6-6, 5-7, 5-7, 3-9. Team A is 5-4 against P5 Team B is 8-3 against P5 thats why B is #9 and A is 20something

It's already been devalued by Leslie at KU. Fedora was one of the coaches who impressed in the coaches round table, he obviously knows football. Cutcliffe I think was the most impressive for football knowledge. Sumlin actually surprised me, seems like a good guy to have a few beers and talk football with.

Right, but there should not have been 3 seconds left. The pass over the middle that was actually a 1st that looked short took all of 5 seconds, they got to the LOS and spiked the ball but I don't think the clock ever moved. The next pass to the near side took 7 seconds, then 3 for the spike, review put 1 second back. Also missing is the PI call, the game should have been over because they were both going at it and that pass was the definition of uncatchable. Had they not moved early I think LSU stuffs them there, but the penalty gave them the room they needed to attack the middle on that slant. All said, LSU fucked up playcalling when they ran the QB 3 times from the 8. And not putting more pressure on Mond in OT. I do however agree with their plan at the end of regulation to keep everything in front of them with how little time was remaining and aggy needing a TD. They could have put more pressure, but giving him time just means burning more clock in a <30 second situation. But they couldn't account for clock shenanigans

It actually would, just a little ironic the "taking the program in a new direction" thing. If he could pull off Kliff as OC and Chizik was DC they will probably do pretty well. About like his last stint. If he can't get Bro, he should get Fedora.

Pics of cool wife? there may not be many rules here, but we have a few. Side note, I think most of us are ok with USC when we aren't playing, and we are all big fans of song girls.

Possibly. Give fans hope that Bama is beatable (by one of their own of course) even though they have basically recruited over every team going on a decade. You can crown Bama every year as long as other teams think they have a shot, UGA recruiting over Bama last year is exhibit A. Truly, with their overall talent advantage and great coaching, no one SHOULD beat Bama, though it's football so it can happen. If you think this team looks good, wait for next year-- look at the roster, it's soph/jr heavy, they have like 3 seniors on their 2 deep

I believe that's the second to last pass play before time should have expired. 20 yard pass play over the middle, move chains, reset ball, hike and spike. All in just 5 seconds of game clock.

I think the SEC is protecting their brand, LSU might fall 2 spots but I guarantee they stay top 10, meanwhile aggy will be moved up into the top 15. SEC will have half the top 15 and perpetuate the myth of the greatest conference on the planet by a landslide, they needed to bolster someone since barn is down, and this gave them the best opportunity for net gain. So we also know they control bowl placement outside the playoffs, so aggy will not have to face a passing team in whatever bowl they end up in, it will be a 3 yard and a cloud of dust opponent.

Aren't the refs supposed to keep time separate from the game clock? The clock work in the last dozen seconds was all aggy, 3 plays in a row.
