More people may watch the Longhorn games, but they won't really enjoy themselves. The few that watch the aggy games will probably jizz all over themselves though
There are treatments for that.

Can confirm as the dad of an asu junior. No pedo.
As the dad of a San Diego State freshman I can also confirm SDSU is right there with them. Still no pedo.
You're talking about college co-eds. The no pedo qualifier is unnecessary.

It's awesomeness.
I don't understand why everyone doesn't embrace this. It's the most awesome thing a random football fan could do. First of all, it's the single most identifiable thing a person can do on a moment's notice that definitely identifies them as a college football fan. Even the heavy metal devil horn people don't really do it upside down. Have a tv camera on you? Do the horns down, or horns up if you happen to be a Texas fan. Either one, the cult of college football knows on some level you're one of us, even if you're part of a sect they don't identify with. We already have the most iconic symbol in college sports. The Longhorn symbol may as well be the swoosh of college athletics.
I say way more horns down thrown at random games where Texas isn't involved. I love it so much.
I'm not bothered by it. Just continually surprised by our rent-free mental occupation. It amuses me.

The measure is objectively stupid. How about we base watchability on the number of people who, you know, WATCH?

a proper baseline for pairing discussions would include a thorough calculationof drive times from every campus to every other campus
i also choose to rank the football 'strength' of each school based on that school's rank in all time wins, compared only to current FBS teams
thus, i present you with:
the Official Drive-sydney-carton-Crazy SEC pairing model
TM 2025 The Legion of Dynamic Discord, Malabo, Equatorial Guinea
round 1: take out the immovable objects
Texas/0u
bama/barn
klan/klan aggy
florida/georgia
that leaves:
aggy
kentucky
lsu
missouri
pig
south carolina
tennessee
vandy
use geography for the other 4 pairings to match the immovable objects:
aggy/lsu
kentucky/south carolina (because reasons)
missouri/pig
tennessee/vandy
round 2: continue with geography - it doesn't have to be absolute on time/distance - but it must be regional
this round the top half of the conference (listed based on all-time wins) picks who they 'want' from teams 9-16 in all-time wins
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_FBS_football_win–loss_records
all time wins 1-8
3 alabama
5 Texas
6 0u
9 georgia
11 tennessee
12 lsu
14 barn
16 aggy
all-time wins 9-16
20 florida
25 pig
33 missouri
40 klan
51 kentucky
54 south carolina
63 vandy
76 klan aggy
top 8 choose in order:
bama takes klan
Texas takes pig (we should choose lsu but there is no way the league will let us have 3 pairings in the all-time top 8 with both 0u and lsu, so pig is the next 'makes most sense' choice)
0u takes missouri
georgia takes (or is made to take) south carolina (because reasons)
tennessee takes kentucky
lsu takes florida
barn takes vandy and they should thank the football gods for it
aggy gets klan aggy and they should thank the football gods for it
round 3 is a clusterfuck combination of league decisions, best geo, and reasons
5 Texas (paired w/ 6 0u & 25 pig), has to take 16 aggy by consolation and parasitic viral inhabitation, like breast larvae
20 florida (already paired w/ 9 georgia & 12 lsu) gets 54 south carolina (best geo, competitive balance, logical geo
25 pig (already paired w/ 33 missouri & 5 texas) gets 6 0u (best geo, and fixes competitive balance, tough 3rd pairing too bad so sad)
33 missouri (already paired w/ 25 pig & 6 0u) gets 51 kentucky (tied for next best geo w/ vandy, so has to be kentucky on competitive balance)
so to recap the following 8 are set (lower composite = more difficult)
5 Texas 6/16/25 (composite: 47)
6 0u 5/25/33 (composite: 63)
16 aggy 5/12/76 (composite: 93)
20 florida 9/12/54 (composite: 75)
25 pig 5/6/33 (composite: 44)
33 missouri 6/25/51 (composite: 82)
51 kentucky 11/33/54 (composite: 98)
54 south carolina 9/20/51 (composite: 80)
note that the median composite for the 8 that are sorted is 73
to this point 44 of 48 pairings make sense within the context of this model
the last 4 pairings .... are likely contentious, but it's easy to see the outside/in method is needed
last 8 teams remaining to assign their 3rd pairing & remaining geos ordered by distance:
3 alabama paired w/ 14 & 40 (54), geos: 76, 63, 9, 11, 12
9 georgia paired w/ 20 & 54 (64), geos: 11, 3, 63, 76
11 tennessee paired w/ 51 & 63 (104), going to have a very strong 3rd pairing, geos: 9, 3, 14, 76, 40, 12
12 lsu paired w/ 16 & 20 (36), geos: 76, 40, 3, 14, 63, 9, 11
14 barn paired w/ 3 & 63 (66), geos: 9, 76, 11, 63, 63, 40, 12
40 klan paired w/ 3 & 76 (79), geos: 63, 14, 12, 9, 11
63 vandy paired w/ 11 & 14 (25), needs a weaker 3rd pairing, geos: calcs probably not needed
76 klan aggy paired w/ 16 & 40 (36), geos: calcs probably not needed
so composites at this stage are 54, 64, 104, 36, 66, 79, 25 and 36
sorted ascending we get 25, 36, 36, 54, 64, 66, 79 and 104
recall the composite average for the sorted 8 is 73
outside/in method of addressing the last pairings would thus go in this order:
104, 25, 36, 36, 54, 64, 79 and 66
11 tennessee 104:
it's pretty clear that tennessee is going to have to play 3 bama or 9 georgia (for a final composite of 107 or 113)
63 vandy 25:
they are going to have to play 40 klan or 76 klan aggy (for a final composite of 103 or 139)
12 lsu 36 and 76 klan aggy 36:
let's see if one has to be taken to solve for geo or composite
3 bama 54:
last 4?
9 georgia 64:
last 4?
40 klan 79:
last 4?
14 barn 66:
last 4?
so let's channel snakey....
11 tennessee pairs with 9 georgia (best geo that's required for competitive balance + tv wants it)
12 lsu pairs with 40 klan (2nd best geo, + tv wants it)
we are down to
3 bama
14 barn
63 vandy
76 klan aggy
bama and barn already paired
vandy already paired with barn
klan aggy only one not paired with other 3
by default, these last 2 pairings are unavoidable:
3 bama pairs 63 vandy
14 barn pairs 76 klan aggy
SO this model produces the following:
5 Texas 6/16/25 (47)
6 0u 5/25/33 (63)
16 aggy 5/12/76 (93)
20 florida 9/12/54 (75)
25 pig 5/6/33 (44)
33 missouri 6/25/51 (82)
51 kentucky 11/33/54 (98)
54 south carolina 9/20/51 (80)
3 alabama 14/40/63 (117)
9 georgia 11/20/54 (88)
11 tennessee 9/51/63 (123)
12 lsu 16/20/40 (76)
14 barn 3/63/76 (142)
40 klan 3/12/76 (91)
63 vandy 3/11/14 (28)
76 klan aggy 14/16/40 (70)
sorted by (composite SoS), lower = harder, with pairings
63 Vanderbilt 3/11/14 (28): Alabama, Tennessee, Auburn
25 Arkansas 5/6/33 (44): Texas, 0u, Missouri
5 Texas 6/16/25 (48): 0u, aggy, pig
6 0u 5/25/33 (63): Texas, pig, Missouri
76 Mississippi State 14/16/40 (70): Auburn, aggy, MIssissippi
20 Florida 9/12/54 (75): Georgia, LSU, South Carolina
12 LSU 16/20/40 (76): aggy, Florida, Mississippi
54 South Carolina 9/20/51 (80): Georgia, Florida, Kentucky
33 Missouri 6/25/51 (82): 0u, pig, Kentuckee
average = 82.375, 9 above, 7 below
9 Georgia 11/20/54 (88): Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina
40 Mississippi 3/12/76 (91): Alabama, LSU, Mississippi State
16 aggy 5/12/76 (93): Texas, LSU, Mississippi State
51 Kentucky 11/33/54 (98): Tennessee, Missouri, South Carolina
3 Alabama 14/40/63 (117): Auburn, Mississippi, Vanderbilt
11 Tennessee 9/51/63 (123): Georgia, Kentucky, Vanderbilt
14 Auburn 3/63/76 (142): Alabama, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State
conclusions
georgia, aggy, bama and tennessee can just shut the fuck up about anything for the next 10 years
sorry vandy someone is going to end up as the punching bag in the first iteration and you're the private school - anchor down!
dear pig: welcome to the pleasuredome
to our friends from across the river: you'll figure out the new landscape and do justice to your history (snicker snicker)
dear corndog: wanna go halves on bribing the b1g to take aggy so we can fuck on the reg?
the one thing this model did not produce that will be bitched about is barn-georgia; vandy / south carolina, or tennessee / klan aggy would have to agree to a switch; i don't see tennessee agreeing to this as georgia is their only marquee game in this model; i suppose vandy and south carolina could agree to this, maybe? but it puts barn's feels ahead of rational geography; georgia and south carolina make sense; on the flip side columbia to nashville is only 7 hours; in this case vandy still has tenneessee and south carolina still has florida, so if it must be so.....

I remember feeling pretty confident going into that USC game. We had some great playmakers and they made some great plays...
yet there we were, a few minutes left with USC at our 35 or so and we needed to stop the repeat Nat'l Champs on 4th and 1. Fourth and fuckin' one! WTF.
The Horns manned up, made some critical plays in that final drive and pulled it out. Greatest game ever! and the underdog Horns won it with the world watching!

I'd imagine this will be a consideration for Texas, OU, Florida, and Georgia. The SEC doesn't want those to go home and home.
The SEC has no control over those going home and home. And the four schools involved will push hard, if necessary, to be sure their perm games are 1-1-1.
But, I don't think it will be necessary.
1 hour ago, Helobious said:I think the simplest thing and what they’re going to do is pretend 2025 is year 1 of the rotation, 2026 is year 2. So everyone plays the same teams in 2026 as they did the prior 2 years. That gives the conference 2 years to come up with a new slate for everyone in 2027.
Why? That is just dumb.

12 teams was already too many, but at least 16 will eliminate the stupid byes.
This is where I am. I always wanted eight max. I can live with 16. Anything more is absolutely moronic.
Fuck anyone advocating for 32 or 40.
2 hours ago, Frank Drebin said:It makes more regular season games important, not fewer. In the past if you lost a game or two, season was over. Now many, many games late in year that were otherwise meaningless have relevance.
The point about the regular season being important is NOT about the number of games at the end of the season that matter to teams seeking playoff bids. That misses the point.
College football was always historically great because you had so little room for error. One loss? MAYBE you still have a shot. Tow losses? Forget it. You're out of the running.
THAT is what is meant by the regular season matters.
Now we are in a world where three losses and you still have a shot at a national championship. That would have been unthinkable in the 80's or 90's.

No doubt. But, it's something the majority of programs would never consider due to budgetary considerations. This is truly one of those "We are the Joneses things."

Long excerpt about Arch's recruitment from an upcoming book about QBs: https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/46022536/ruthless-recruitment-arch-manning
This part caught my eye. Fuck Nick Saban.
NOBODY KNEW WHERE Arch Manning wanted to go to school. Some in the family preferred Georgia, where head coach Kirby Smart would coach him hard. Others, Alabama. The problem for Alabama was that Nick Saban -- whom the Crimson Tide assistants affectionally called "Daddy" -- was getting up there in years, and nobody knew how long he'd be there. Texas kept lingering. Competition was so fierce that everything was fair game. It was public record that Steve Sarkisian had battled alcoholism, a disease that nearly cost him his career. Sark had rebuilt his life and work in recovery. But during one Zoom call with Arch, Golding was discussing Alabama's schematics and culture, and then he went there.
"I love Sark," Golding said. "He's my best friend." He paused. "I hope he can stay sober."
After the Zoom ended, Stewart called Golding. "Pete, that's f---ed up!"
Golding knew. He had no choice.
"Daddy's on me."
Who is Stewart?

The only way this makes sense is if he missed the CFP announcement re: SOS, which clearly precipitated the SEC announcement yesterday.

@closetojumping it’s all over the It board that Michigan is going to cancel on us and maybe OSU. Conjecture not reporting, but not the dumb dumbs. You think they are wrong. You are probably right but I can see the other side of it too.
If they truly were considering backing out, I think the CFP announcement this week makes it way less likely.
