The Pac 12 also removed everyone yesterday from their website. https://pac-12.com/

I think it's mostly been the other way around. SEC expands to 12 to get a conference championship game - Arkansas and South Carolina B1G added Penn State and tried to add Notre Dame to get to 12 teams to get a conference championship game. ND balks. They later add Nebraska when it's clear that ND won't come. SEC expands with A&M and Mizzou. B1G panic adds Rutgers and Maryland. Both schools are in such bad shape, they take partial payments to do it. SEC expands with Texas and OU B1G panic adds USC and UCLA, schools 2 timezones away; and then later Oregon and Washington which only works because they are willing to take partial payments.

Hard to imaging it goes down the same as the Pac 12. 1) I don't think the SEC wants to expand more. I think they would be very selective still and at most take 2 if the opportunity was right. 2) B1G is already at an ugly 18. I mean I guess they could decide to go really big -- most of their decisions have been only about short term money and not about culture -- but even if they go after 2 or 4, that still leaves 10/11 team ACC. 3) The Big 12 can't have much of an appetite to expand unless some big market program falls in their lap like Miami or Georgia Tech. So you still have a 8-11 team ACC that is still a step above the G5 and would have an option to snag a USF to get the Florida market back.

Lot of scuttlebutt on the FSU boards that they will announce soon a move to the B1G.

Right. I was just trying to figure out what that twitter account wants us to notice. I don't have a twitter account so I can't see the rest of that thread. I assumed further down the thread, he answers his own question.

What am I supposed to notice?

I emailed our AD yesterday about the earlier award. USA Today released an All Sports trophy for a decade prior to Sears Cup taking over in 1993. Hard to find info online since USA Today also sponsors the SEC All Sports trophy (aren't you excited you get to compete in that next year?) so those results are what come up when you search and with older stuff all paywalled. I do not know what the scoring system was for that. IIRC for the longest time, it was only Florida and UCLA that were in the top 10 every year.

Top 25 1 Texas (Big 12) - 1377.00 2 Stanford (Pac-12) - 1312.75 3 Tennessee (SEC) - 1217.00 4 Florida (SEC) - 1189.00 5 Virginia (ACC) - 1066.25 6 Texas A&M (SEC) - 1059.25 7 North Carolina (ACC) - 1035.75 8 Michigan (Big Ten) - 1030.00 9 Alabama (SEC) - 1028.88 10 UCLA (Pac-12) - 1017.50 11 Notre Dame (ACC) - 1008.50 12 Florida State (ACC) - 998.88 13 LSU (SEC) - 998.50 14 USC (Pac-12) - 994.00 15 Ohio State (Big Ten) - 981.00 16 Georgia (SEC) - 951.38 17 Duke (ACC) - 928.50 18 Arkansas (SEC) - 921.75 19 Oklahoma State (Big 12) - 896.00 20 California (Pac-12) - 886.00 21 North Carolina State (ACC) - 853.50 22 Nebraska (Big Ten) - 841.00 23 Penn State (Big Ten) - 827.75 24 Oklahoma (Big 12) - 805.75 25 Wisconsin (Big Ten) - 765.50 Top 10 by conference SEC - 4 ACC - 2 Pac-12 - 2 Big 12 - 1 Big 10 - 1 Future SEC - 5 Future ACC - 3 Figure Big Ten - 2 Top 25 by conference SEC - 7 ACC - 6 Big 10 - 5 Pac-12 - 4 Big 12 - 3 Future SEC - 9 Future ACC - 8 Future Big Ten - 7 Future Big 12 - 1 SEC Schools 1 Texas (Big 12) - 1377.00 3 Tennessee (SEC) - 1217.00 4 Florida (SEC) - 1189.00 6 Texas A&M (SEC) - 1059.25 9 Alabama (SEC) - 1028.88 13 LSU (SEC) - 998.50 16 Georgia (SEC) - 951.38 18 Arkansas (SEC) - 921.75 24 Oklahoma (Big 12) - 805.75 30 South Carolina (SEC) - 679.0 32 Kentucky (SEC) - 667.25 33 Auburn (SEC) - 665.75 38 Ole Miss (SEC) - 590.38 55 Missouri (SEC) - 426.50 57 Vanderbilt (SEC) - 410.25 60 Mississippi State (SEC) - 401.50

Still don't have a lot of details on exactly what the all sports rankings were prior to the Directors' Cup, but this is now the 40th year that Florida has finished in the top 10 and is the only program to do so. https://floridagators.com/news/2024/6/26/general-gator-athletics-program-fourth-in-the-nation.aspx

I thought the Vols were going to have to toss out one more sport than they did, so they held us off to hold on to the #3 spot.

Do we have a special teams coach yet?

Things do not look good for Homestar Runner.

And just as I post that, FSU decides to spice things up.

Lookin' like another all-SEC final.

They also have to empty the stands.

We should try to score here.

Well, something funny happened in February, March, April, and May.

Have they announced who the home teams are yet?

I hope that's actually him and not some innocent dude in Wisconsin.

This trip to Omaha has just been gravy so I can't complain but Florida really needs to win today if only to jump Tennessee in the final Directors' Cup standings. There's still a scenario where if we go 0-2 and they win the title, they finish 3rd by 2 points.

Just a bit outside.

Or the 2nd Edited 1 hour ago by UTexasFight But seriously. When is crew initiated review? 7th inning on? Apparently not. Sully lost his last challenge in the 8th because the crew wouldn't review that call at 1st.
