  1. Gen Z also actually owns homes at a higher rate than Gen X or Millennials did at the same age. They took advantage of a deflated covid market and they are also inheriting homes at a much larger tick (presumably left by boomer grandparents).
  2. I meet these people in real life. If it's a troll, it is extremely accurate.
  3. This is the average UGA fan, btw.
  4. Alabama has a worse loss and didn't play #1. We should be ranked right next to them if this were true.
  5. ASU over Tech FSU over Alabama Cal over Louisville WVU over Pitt
  6. There' still some OOC and bowl games left, but the SEC is on schedule for the best year for a conference since the Big 8 in the 80s. I think some of it has to do with NIL evening the field (in the SEC at least) but also all the P4 "minor" teams lost their covid super-seniors (except Pavia) and have holes unfilled from the covid fallout.
  7. I assume the deal has a 20-year buyout horizon because that's the ask for the GOR.
  8. Yeah, but this actually got an entire crew of officials fired already.
  9. Penn State makes triple the money as Purdue on "other stuff." The distributions are a sizable chunk but shouldn't be most of your revenue.
  10. The LBs are as good as ever, tbh. They just have harder jobs this year.
  11. There would be decent brands in both the upper two divisions, though. The middle one would be about half P4 teams and likely have some struggling big brands like Nebraska and UCLA. And fans would really care if you were playing for advancement. Alternatively, they would care/dread if you were in the upper league and playing for relegation. The system makes both ends of the divisions have meaning. But the best feature is that there is incentive to win in the lower leagues and to not suck in the upper ones.
  12. I would do this for this week: 1 Ohio State (1) 2 Indiana (2) 3 Texas A&M (3) 4 Alabama (4) 5 Georgia (5) 6 Ole Miss (6) 7 Texas Tech (8) 8 Oregon (9) 9 Notre Dame (10) 10 Texas (11) 11 Oklahoma (12) 12 Utah (13) 13 Vanderbilt (16) 14 Georgia Tech (17) 15 Miami (18) 16 USC (19) 17 BYU (7) (AP #12) 18 Michigan (21) 19 Louisville (15 - AP #19) 20 Iowa (20 - AP #29) 21 Pittsburgh (24) 22 Missouri (22 - AP #27) 23 Tennessee (25) 24 North Texas (NR - AP #28) 25 Illinois (NR - AP #33) --- NR Virginia (14 - AP #20) NR Washington (23 - AP N/A)
  13. We are already ranked above every single ACC team. They aren't going to lose a game and pass us.
  14. Miami is a really good team that finds ways to lose. I still.thimk it holds more value than USC or Pitt.
  15. People don't remember that Rich Rod was their first candidate. He turned them down to stay at WVU then moved to Michigsn the following year. They settled for Saban.
  16. PE probably thinks there's potential money in venue hire and programming...and they are probably correct. But do the ADs or the universities control that?
  17. That's the line from this summer.
  18. If Tech wins out, I can see them #2 us #3.
  19. There's also a religious element keeping ND (and formerly BYU) independent even in times that it wasn't the best thing for them. Independent Michigan (or Texas) would work but it just wouldn't last in the same way.
  20. Couple of things for people unfamiliar with UGA this year. This isn't their typical defense. They are good-not-great, secondary is vulnerable, and have given up big plays. The front not being psychopathicly good can't cover their weaknesses elsewhere this year. This is a better offense. It's extremely efficient without being terribly explosive, and can beat you multiple ways.
  21. It's highly likely the bottom 2/3rds of the league are strapped for cash, though. Rust Belt money flight + covid + NIL.
  22. These are existing problems. In a regulation system, at least the results on the field are the driving factor instead of politics, history, and media. If Clemson, FSU, and Miami leave the ACC in a few years, are the remaining teams better off in this system or in a relegation system, that's really the pertinent question.
  23. Honest question, do you think fanbases of Boston College, Syracuse, Purdue, etc. would actually shrink if they were put into a competitive league of their own peers? I think it'd be the opposite since these teams would actually be playing for more than the experience.
  24. I still think having 3 divisions, a relegation system, each division having 4 regional conferences would be the best thing for CFB.
