  1. Agree also bc of major upgrades at WR. The most underrated factor though is team mentality. We probably lost 2-3 games last year bc of it (2nd half collapses and Kansas). Fix that alone and we’re probably looking at 7-5 last year. Can they fix it? Idk.
  2. Where do you think Campbell cracks the lineup first? RT or G? My uninformed guess is only Banks starting week 1, then maybe 1-2 others sometime after Bama. Unfortunate that only Hutson was an EE bc otherwise it could be a different story.
  3. Theoretically Jones could become serviceable with another year of development and the move to RT. Not holding my breath but we’ll see. Majors was fine second half of last year. I’m not too worried about him or Angilau. Conner was bad when he played last year, but of course he was a true frosh so I’d expect improvement. Again, we’ll see.
  4. I'll be surprised if Williams starts this year. Sounds like some classic 9.95er kool-aid. I think it'll be Banks, Ang, Majors, Connor/Campbell, Jones/Campbell.
  5. But will he be willing to move inside later? Seems pretty uncommon for guys to make that move unless they’re struggling
  6. Just wonder if he could make a quicker and possibly greater impact at G. I.e. I’d rather have him as an All American G than an above average T, especially if Banks and Jones/Cam can handle the tackle spots.
  7. Is Campbell still starting out at OT instead of G?
  8. Wonder if they flew too close to the sun with that very publicized Nico deal
  9. Why not I wonder? With ND, Clemson, Miami, and FSU, plus all the bball schools, that'd be a good conference.
  10. If I'm in charge of each conference: ACC: Getting Notre Dame is pretty much a do or die proposition. Gotta go all in on them, give them what they want. Imo the ACC can survive all this but they need ND. If they get ND, they could then go poach 3 others - I'd go for TCU, UH, and WVU, Cincy, or UCF. That would be a good conference. SEC: I don't really think this changes much tbh. SEC is still easily the top dog with the TX/OU additions. If some ACC schools are interested, cool, but no need to do anything. Big 10: Go for ND, Oregon, and UW, in that order. (as a fan, I hate the addition of West Coast teams but whatever) Could also look at Cincy, WVU, Kansas. Pac / Big 12: Have to merge together. Probably too many schools to do that now which is where the ACC poaching a few Big 12 schools could actually be mutually beneficial. Pretty much no way they can catch the other 3 at this point, but they could remain relevant by merging.
  11. I still refuse to believe Oregon and Phil Knight get left out of all this.
  12. It’s Twitter silly season again. Be careful out there.
  13. Yeah this is objectively way worse that TX/OU going to the sec. Culturally, geographically, everything.
  14. I kinda disagree. Having the non-traditional schools in the conferences is part of the fun of college sports. College football is pretty much just becoming a minor league sport with nothing special/unique about it.
  15. This kinda sucks as a neutral fan of the game. Mega-conferences are gonna be lame af
  16. Can't believe Phil Knight would get left out of this. PAC-Big12 merger gotta be the next step.
  17. Agree. It’s funny to see but not enough to do anything on
  18. Final predictions for today?? My guess is Cook
  19. I wonder how much the Saban/Kiffin publicity has impacted atm’s payments. We all justifiably laugh at the NCAA but getting the spotlight shined on you so much has gotta cause some boosters to hesitate a bit.
  20. Seems like Cook and Stewart are friends and Cook suddenly dropped atm out of his top 3, so that might be a data point on how Stewart feels about atm.
  21. Three more? Who could that even be? I guess the likely one still left are Cook and Gullette. Maybe Muhammad, Hill, or Shelby?
  22. Would guess him or Walton. Given our newfound proclivity for 3-stars I’ll guess Walton *ducks*
