Call Your Shot - 2022 College Football Playoff Teams
To be clear, I think the odds on USC are low. I just don't see another 4th team standing out either. Also, my pick is based on their portal class pretty much completely overhauling the team. They have 20 (!!) incoming transfers and obviously some of them at the highest level. That's the only way they can see such a rapid turnaround.

Call Your Shot - 2022 College Football Playoff Teams
I'll go: Bama Ohio St UGA - their offense was actually pretty efficient last year. Monken is a good OC. And their schedule is soft after Oregon. 4th spot is a crapshoot but I'll say USC - Their O should be one of the best in the country thanks to all the transfers, many of which already know the system. Their D will probably suck. They'll lose at least one of Utah and ND, but they get in if they only have one loss.

8.29.22 Coach Sark PC at 11 am
Tbh I don't really understand the purpose of hiding the depth chart. I'm sure the coaches have one and the players probably know it (or will soon). I'm guessing Sark sees it as a culture thing? A little gimmicky if so imo. With that said, who gives a shit. These sports "reporters" have some of the most overinflated egos...

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
I haven't watched an Arch game either but it's hilarious that so many people think they know better than the staffs of Alabama, UGA, Clemson, Ole Miss and Texas, all of whom have way more data points and made Arch their #1 QB target (plus I'm sure other schools who probably would've loved a chance).

Week One College Football Viewing Guide
Just googled it and looks they return 5 starters on defense, 7 on offense. Basically return the DL and nothing else. Could easily see a big dropoff but maybe not. That Mason hire was a good replacement. UGA's schedule is soft af. They'll still have plenty of talent on D with elite coaching on that side, and the O is good enough for them to run the regular season schedule (Stetson game managing, insane TE room, good running game is all they need imo). I don't see them as #1 again but I do see them getting in. Agree that the 4th playoff spot is totally up for grabs. Just for kicks, returning starters for some other Big 12 teams (per Athlon): OU - 5 returning on O, 4 on D Baylor - 7 and 7 ISU - only 5 and 3 KSU - 6 and 6 Texas - 6 and 6

OK State?? Bold pick. Didn't they lose most of their stud defense and their DC?

Casey Thompson
I know there were whispers before but it's starting to become real clear how much of a culture impact Casey had on our team last year. First sign was him publicly throwing shade all offseason. Second sign was our guys publicly throwing shade back on social media (you don't do that to someone you like). Now we've seen a vintage 2nd half performance from him with the familiar reaction to match. Not saying everything will be solved now but having an influence like that as your starting QB/leader means a lot.

Scott Frost - a very rich unemployed person
I'll admit - I though Frost was a good hire there at the time. Surprised how bad he's flopped. But yeah, he gone.

Nebraska vs Nawfwestern - 11:30am - FOX (9:30 Pacific)
Still can't believe how much that Casey performance was like last year. Amazing first half, then total turtle mode in the 2nd. When pinned inside the 10, absolutely nothing doing. Pretty much exactly like half our games last year.

What's funny is that the OU fanbase was just as excited about the possible flip. They reeeeallll salty about Lincoln. But yeah...

Tell Me About Texas a&m
So A&M has now announced a new $160 million practice facility and this big stadium project in the last month. Didn't they just redo both of those within the last 10-15 years? And aren't their practice facilities already considered top 5 in the country? Point being, do they still spend money on education or is this just a pure football operation at this point? It's honestly sad to see. https://12thman.com/news/2022/8/26/texas-am-to-add-23-premium-suites-at-kyle-field.aspx

2022 Fall Camp: Drippin'
So this QB coach has him throwing with his eyes closed because you often end up on your back (after the throw)? Hmmm. If that's what Quinn needs to work on most, we're going to the Super Bowl.

2022 Fall Camp: Drippin'
This is kinda my perspective at this point. Take out the drunkenness and it's a pretty solid track record. Apparently USC agreed. Of course, year 1 here is a bad sign that can't be ignored. And it is hard to know how much of his OC success was due to Carroll and Saban. The NFL stint was iffy too but it should be clear by now that NFL struggles don't mean much for the college game.

2022 Fall Camp: Drippin'
Sark was going up against record-shattering bags at A&M if you wanna talk payroll disadvantage... Criticizing his head coaching abilities is fair game. Claiming he's a bad recruiter is like saying he's a bad OC, aka laughable.

"Locked in" but taking 4 other OVs this fall. Huh.

2022 Fall Camp: Drippin'
To be fair, the 9.95 injury reports have been as far off as the QB reports. They were saying Collins out 4-6 weeks (was back yesterday), Neyor not looking too bad, RoJo about a month (already doing drills). So yeah, not putting much stock in their reports here, even though IT is being more definitive on this one. Good to see the Surly insiders weighing in too though.
