By being a first team All American in the SEC then going on to be a 2 time super bowl winner. That's how all these guys get it.

Man, I miss the good ole days when I told myself this as OU shit down their own leg in the playoffs.  At least it was usually to a top 2ish team.  Yay?

Don't tell Lane he'd be watching DeBoer and Alabama if he wasn't watching SMU

 

I like that he talks shit. I wish he was at a better program than Mississippi.

The ACC was the worst conference this year

This is absolutely true for the P4. But ESPN has never given and will never give the Big 12 a fair evaluation. The ACC was easily worse than the other 3. It was the SEC, then the Big 12 and Big Ten were pretty much even, then the ACC.

Meanwhile the narrative is that the Big Ten is in the top 2 with the SEC and the ACC is a bit better than the Big 12. Both of those are laughably wrong. Revenue doesn't win football games, ask Texas fans over the last decade plus.

Agreed. I've come around on the guy. His twitter trolling is the best in the cfb HC game. Admittedly there isnt a lot of competition.

The top 3 teams in the Big 10 are on par with the SEC, with Indiana just being a bit behind. The rest of the Big 10, the ACC, and the Big 12 are all garbage. As we will prove today then Jan 1st when we beat down ASU. The gap is massive. 

Revenue didn't win before, but with NIL and portal now it separates those who can win it all from those who can't.

They've been inside the 5 yard line 3 times today.

No points so far(one drive going).  How different this game could be.  Even with the pick 6's.

This post makes the same mistake most people do when analyzing schedule difficulty. There is a difference between good, decent, mediocre, and garbage. 

You're correct about the about the Big Ten's stratification, but their issue is they go straight from great teams to one good team, two decent teams, and then a bunch of garbage. The Big 12 is much deeper in good and decent teams. And that makes a big difference in affecting a team's full season record.

And with 16 team conferences, scheduling differences can make teams appear much better than they are. Take Indiana for example. They played two good teams and lost both. But because their schedule was pudding soft, their record was misleading. Not a fan of these mega conferences at all.

Man, those were the days.  When paperclip logos actually looked like paperclips, and a wanna be OU team, was actually close to being.  Brings a tear to my eye…

That's where we disagree. What evidence is there the big 12 has any good teams? BYU edged out this SMU team that's getting blown out before Jennings was playing? ISU, who played for a big 12 title, barely edging out Iowa at home? Or ASU, the big 12 champion, barely getting a win against winless in the SEC Mississippi State at home?

even the PSU kicker who sucks ass and cant hit it more than 42 yards.... still fucking nailed the 42 yarder with about 1 foot to spare

 

Sideshow Bert needs to do that.

Don't disrespect me man, game don't matter 

That should have been offsetting. The stepping over and standing over opponents shit needs to be called. It's terrible officiating to let it go. It is clearly unsportsmanlike conduct.

CFB could do what basketball does and pair the 2 lower conferences against the 2 upper ones in a single non conference game showdown. Have each team reserved a non con game for 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, etc between the SEC and Big 10 vs the Big 12 and ACC based on previous year's final conference standings. That would give more of a look at where they stand against each other for the committee to use.

Don’t forget about Texas State giving Arizona State a lot of trouble.

I don’t visit many college basketball threads because basketball is dog shit. But I wonder if there’s a much hand wringing during March madness when gulf coast community college of Boca loses by 60 to Duke. As there is in the first round of football playoffs.
