    2023 Heisman

    It actually used to be for the best player. Now its for the best QB on a top 10 team.
  2. https://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa-proposing-new-college-athletics-subdivision-rooted-in-direct-athlete-compensation-145051537.html Big realignment stimulator. "Of the many recent changes in college athletics, the most transformative — and revolutionary — may be on the way. NCAA president Charlie Baker is planning to introduce this week a proposal to create a new subdivision within Division I that grants certain schools more autonomy around policy-making and permits them to compensate athletes in a new and profound way. In a letter sent to Division I members, and obtained by Yahoo Sports, Baker outlines a groundbreaking and radical change to the NCAA Division I athletics model, describing it as a “new forward-looking framework.” According to Baker’s proposal, schools that choose to be part of the new subdivision — they can opt in or out — are required to meet a strict minimum standard rooted in athlete investment....
  3. Bunchner entered the portal again---for lacrosse! He wants to be a lacrosse player. He was apparently one of the top lacrosse players in the country in HS as well as football.
  4. I see Texas is off the next 11 days, so he has some time.
  5. Yeah. It would be hard for him to stay. He has to be real busy at Nevada the next two weeks until signing day.
  6. I calculated a 6/6 model playoff from 1998-2023. Roughly it came out to 4 SEC teams, 3 Big 10 teams, 4 between the ACC/Big12 and Notre Dame and 1 other. Obviously the new lineups and schedules and move to 5/7 w/o a Pac would have an impact, but with that caveat, here's how the 2024 conference lineups fared over those 26 years: SEC 103 teams, 3.96 per year Big 10 88 teams, 3.38 per year ACC 49 teams, 1.88 per year Big 12 46 teams, 1.77 per year Notre Dame 9, 0.35 per year MWC 9, 0.35 per year 2 Pac 2, 0.08 per year AAC 2, 0.08 per year MAC 2, 0.08 per year CUSA 1, 0.04 per year Sun Belt 1, 0.04 per year
  7. We got the shaft in 2008. So I can't help feeling for FSU. The BCS/Committee has frequently done it to Southwest teams. Texas in 2008, Okie St. in 2011, TCU in 2014. Either Bama should have been left out, or they leave out Washington for Georgia.
  8. I don't know what they would have done. FSU looked really, really bad. So did Louisville. Plummer made Case McCoy look like an All-American.
  9. I think anyone who chants SEC-SEC-SEC after we join the conference should lose season ticket privileges.
  10. Quarters on NYD will be fine. its the semi-finals that are a question. Michigan gets great ratings for some reason.
  11. Well he actually picked it last night. Said he hoped it wasn't so, but expected it to be 1. UM, 2. UW, 3. UT, 4. AL
  12. That's what I was saying. SMU didn't have to buy it. Aggy did them the favor.
  13. Well according to Sagarin, while Liberty had the #133 schedule, SMU had #118.
  14. Why would anyone care if SMU got screwed? They can just buy some Trans Ams. Wait, that was aggy that bought the Trans Am for their player...
  15. Kind of the opposite. Figure skating fans think 13 guys in a smoked filled room should decide it.
  16. SOS per Sagarin Texas #4 Washington #5 Alabama #12 Michigan #56 FSU #61 Georgia #46 Ohio St. #36 Oregon #25 (can't list this without acknowledging Sagarin still has Oregon #2, Penn St. #5, Washington #9 and FSU #10)
  17. If you keep getting mulligans, you will start sinking shots. Saban's great but he's been really lucky, starting with Colt's injury.
  18. Well Phillips shouldn't have vetoed the 12 team playoff! We would have had one if Phillips, Warren and Kliavcoff didn't stop the expansion for a year.
  19. Well if his commissioner had supported a CFP expansion instead of an alliance with the Pac 12 and Big 10, we probably would have had a 12 team playoff this year.
  20. Leach gave up in the 4th and let his former coach run all over him. He then followed the screw job to Texas with his ballot in the coaches' poll I don't understand why so many Surly denizens loved that asshole.
  21. https://hayspost.com/posts/bb988434-c82e-43ad-b96b-49e12cd8379f Were Big 12 refs doing the counting for the Dr. Pepper competition?
  22. I guess that's why the guy who actually won the Dr. Pepper competition also got $100,000 even though the refs cheated him out of it! https://hayspost.com/posts/bb988434-c82e-43ad-b96b-49e12cd8379f
