    seems pretty clear that the top 3 heading into next year is going to be some combination of georgia, texas, and ohio state.

    Some talking heads will convince themselves Oregon should be in that group. Think Klatt had them ahead of us, but I doubt the FOX/Big Ten deal played a role in that.

    Not to nitpick, but Quinn's W/L record in 2023 was 8-2, the other 2 wins belonging to Malik Murphy, but the overall point remains valid.

    We went 12-2…

  3. Can’t imagine why they weren’t saying these same things while Sark was over there breaking offensive records. Pathetic.

    Talking about karma when their fanbase had someone poison the Toomer’s trees out of spite after one rivalry loss is something else. If Muhammad and Niblack commit soon, Bevo might need some extra security.

    That would be mildly aggravating, but probably puts us in the $EC championship and in the driver's seat for the playoffs.  I would take that today even with the insufferable cunts chirping about winning their super bowl.

    Unless they use the ridiculous rule the Pac 12 created. Here is what he said:

    Spoiler

    SEC championship

    LSU vs. … ???

    The SEC hasn’t announced its tiebreakers. But those are not expected to diverge much from the current ones to determine the division champions. The above scenario would be a three-way tie. The first tiebreaker in the division era was head-to-head record among the teams, and in this case, the only head-to-head matchup was Texas beating Georgia. So the Longhorns would get it … if that is the tiebreaker.

    But when the Pac-12 (R.I.P.) got rid of divisions before the 2022 season, it tweaked its formula to say that if not everyone involved in a three-way (or more) tie has played each other, that tiebreaker is not invoked. The Pac-12’s next tiebreaker is record among common opponents. The teams all three teams have played. But that was just one team — Mississippi State — and all three won. That also covers the next tiebreaker, so it then goes to the fourth one: “Combined win percentage in conference games of conference opponents (i.e., the strength of conference schedule).”

    In that case:

    Georgia: 33-31

    Texas: 20-44

    Missouri: 19-45

    So Georgia wins that tiebreaker. Then again, in the new CFP system, did the Bulldogs want to win the tiebreaker?

    College Football Playoff

    The top four conference champions will get the top four seeds and byes into the quarterfinals. So there is motivation to get to Atlanta. The game will still have meaning, with the LSU-Georgia winner getting a valuable bye.

    But it could be argued that by losing, Georgia would endanger its Playoff spot — or at least fall out of getting a home game in the first round. Would it be better to not play in the game at all and preserve that one-loss record as Texas and Missouri (both 11-1) are doing in this scenario? There could be two-loss teams that risk taking a third loss in the SEC championship. Coaches have been wondering aloud about that, hinting they would prefer to give their players a week of rest rather than play in a game that could hurt more than help their case.

    Meanwhile, what about the case for other at-large teams? Carrying this hypothetical season forward, it’s hard to see any one-loss team missing out, along with the loser of the SEC championship. So that’s four teams. But Alabama and Ole Miss are sitting there at 10-2 — and Alabama has a win over Missouri, which has a relatively weak schedule strength. So is Texas’, but it would own a win over Georgia.

    Arguments will ensue. And that’s not even taking into account the national field and how many quality teams emanate from the other three power conferences.

    It’s going to get heated. It will be complicated. And it will be here soon.

    Better discussion for another thread, but thought the outcome was fascinating. Winning the SEC title and getting the bye week would be great, but there’s also a solid chance that even without a CCG appearance we could be in line for the #5 seed and a likely G5 opponent coming to DKR. Next season is just going to be absurd. Can’t wait.

    How far will OU MBB make it in the tournament?

    Round of 32. I’m not ready to say this group canmake the Sweet 16. And that might largely depend on their draw. But I do think this team can win a tournament game. And one thing we know about Porter Moser is he’s really goodcome tournament time. So I think this team could go on a run. 

    I’m not ready to say this group can make the Sweet 16, but this team could go on a run.

    Yes, I am quoiting myself. Maybe I am not understanding this. Does Bama at this time have the ability to take players from the Portal?

    Yes. Problem is most of the Alabama-level talent that entered during the open period has already decided/enrolled. I’d be shocked if they didn’t bring in a few guys from UW at least.

    Can’t see why we wouldn’t pursue with the alleged Jabbar Muhammad concerns.

    Only played in 2 games in 2023. #17 player in his class

    He reclassified from 2024 a couple months before enrolling in January ‘23, so makes a bit more sense why he wouldn’t see the field. Although the 247 comparison to Tony Grimes doesn’t excite me too much.

    Maybe OSU doesn't care about sports, and just wants way better facilities.

    I saw one Buckeye in the twitter replies praising Bjork’s strength in “fundraising and NIL” in response to someone asking what else he has accomplished besides one of the worst contract extensions in the history of man.

    Yeah, that doesn't look terribly healthy.  A croissant, some home fries, and wtf is the other stuff, cheetos?  EDIT:  maybe just home fries not in the shadow?

    I feel like that croissant has to be a breakfast sandwich somehow. Either that or it’s a buffet and that is his warmup plate. Fuck the offseason.

    Sark still needs to relinquish Offensive Coordinator job so he can move on to Saban level CEO full time. It seems like he has related to PK as if he were same-level OC, rather than the Boss. He did show some Bossiness in a couple of press conferences, saying he had asked the DC to dial up more aggression, so that's a Good Thing. Bringing Nansen in looks like a step toward lighting a fire under Kwiatkowski's ass.

    Lane can't stand A&M. I don't believe he'd ever go there.

    Have a family friend that is very close with the Kiffins, and I don’t think Lane would leave Ole Miss til his daughter graduates from there in a few years. Maybe the perfect job or some crazy contract could change things quickly, but he has it pretty damn good in Oxford.
