  1. Arkansas is 28, MississippiState with a new coach is 35, and Vandy comes in at a semi respectable 40 (which for reference, would make them #4 in the Big12, #8 in the ACC, and #14 in the Big Ten) The Big Ten is who you would expect (tOSU, UO, USC, UM, Pedo) along with Nebraska and Wisconsin and NOT Washington (coming in at 36). ACC is who you’d expect (Mia, FSU, Clem) with UNC and NCSU coming in at 26/27. Big 12 is just Tech who is being propped up by their single legacy 5 star. ND also is in the top 25 as usual. To tie this back to realignment. I firmly believe FSU/Clemson will be at least offered a spot in the SEC when the time comes. You cannot have two teams in the middle of your recruiting hotbed, that have a history of attracting elite talent, going to your only true competitor. #3 Miami will be invited to join the Big Ten and I think #30 Stanford and #34 Georgia Tech will also eventually be pulled in along with #10 Notre Dame in a decade or so. Markets and recruiting areas. That would get them to 22, and they’d battle for UNC/UVA with the SEC for those last 2 spots. If they miss on those flagships, do they go after #27 NCSU and #42 VT or do they look at Arizona State and a school like Colorado as a bridge?
  2. Back 2 Back!!! fucking Awesome ladies. So proud of this team. Enjoy the feeling…and then do it again Back 2 Back 2 Back!!!
  3. You likely die of listeria before you got round enough to look like Elko.
  4. 2 new SEC schools and 4 new Big Ten schools make up 6 of the toughest 13 schedules along with… 3 weaker SEC schools, 2 weaker Big Ten schools, plus Florida and Georgia Tech.
  5. Avatar checks out.
  6. Fuck yes ladies! Back 2 fucking back!
  7. ADP sucks so horribly bad…but Garza is worse.
  8. Funny enough, I’ve thought the same thing, while it’s not perfect I think stadium size does a pretty good job separating the top 1/3 of the P5 (1/5 of the FBS). While not perfect, it does generally correlate to fan support. FBS stadiums of team with 70K+: Michigan, Penn St, Ohio St, aggy, LSU, Tennessee, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, UCLA***(not on campus and never full), Florida, Auburn, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Clemson, Florida St, Notre Dame, South Carolina, USC, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Michigan St, Washington, and Iowa* (technically at 69k but record attendance is 70k). Honorable mentions: Virginia Tech and Ole Miss at 66k Oregon at 60k A few towards the bottom that could be dropped down but despite the methodology the results are not horrible if they were to make a top tier football division.
  9. New Orleans might just leave the homeless alone this year to make the universities from Austin and Seattle feel at home.
  10. Back 2 Back mother fuckers! Let’s go!
  11. The line is drawn either where they settle or where the court decides. The Titans own the old Oilers brand. They send a cease and desist to UH. UH can ask for clarification on where the Titans would be satisfied that they are no longer threatening their trademark/brand. If the Titans say remove the stripes and UH agrees then that is the line. If the Titans try and claim that ANY use of those colors is unacceptable to them then UH can ignore the cease and desist and make the Titans take them to court to legally determine where the line is. As I stated before, the color combinations is likely not something that would be enforceable but the colors and the stripes is likely a bridge too far.
  12. I’m not too sure about that…it can always be worse
  13. Finally, fucking great win ladies.
  14. This shit is bananas
  15. FUCK YEAH! We’re the BEST at throwing it behind the line of scrimmage…
  16. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/33371549/acc-pac-12-big-ten-commissioners-push-back-college-football-playoff-expansion-critics From Feb 25, 2022 If the ACC and their “Alliance” had passed this vote the 12 team playoff would have started this year. So they were in favor of keeping the format that ultimately fucked them.
  17. lol yeah never said I believed it, because it was stupid as shit. Quickest way to turn the whole country against them and squander their goodwill victim pity parade would be to pull a dumbass stunt like that.
  18. Rumor was that they know they’ll get smoked by Georgia, so they’ll sit out the bowl in protest and claim a UCF style national title.
  19. I don’t think it will anytime soon, but that’s just my opinion. I think it will hold like this until the next major realignment in 2035 (FSU). Between conference consolidation and a possible DI split I see the SEC/B1G being satisfied with 3-4 spots a year. Just think how different next year will be. Texas/OU in the SEC would have added losses and bumped a school like Mizzou or Ole Miss out of the top 12. Same goes for UW/UO in the Big Ten removing Iowa/Pedo as well. SMU’s two loss season would be part of the ACC bumping Louisville down and Arizona would be battling K State, Okie St, Utah, Kansas, Iowa St for the Big 12. I don’t think we need major debates on how many 3 loss teams or G5 teams are being left out, so this model should hold for some time.
  20. Looking at this, maybe NCSU should have been #5
  21. It’s going to 12 teams with autobids to the highest ranked 6 champions (likely dropping to 5 with the death of the PAC12). The SEC and Big Ten champs will always get in and I assume the Big 12 and ACC champ will too, unless they go the way of the Big East. The controversy over autobids will be at the G5 level between the MWC, AAC, and others. See this year Liberty getting a NY6 bowl over SMU. Still somewhat a beauty contest. After that it will be mostly comparing 2/3 loss non champs against each other for those final spots. If in place this year that would be Oregon, Mizzou, Ole Miss, Pedo, OU, Iowa, LSU, Arizona, Louisville, ND Do you give preference to CCG participants like Oregon/Iowa/Louisville? Is it SOS/SOR based? Player availability? Game control? That bullshit will still be around but at far lower stakes and I think that might be for the best as it will allow multiple teams to think that they still have an outside chance of hitting that gutshot straight and weaseling their way into the playoffs. I think that system would actually be better than the NFL’s wildcard where you 100% know the outcome. But maybe that’s just my unpopular opinion.
  22. The FCS gives autobids to conference champs and IS STILL A BEAUTY PAGEANT for their at large teams…just like the basketball tournament. Just nobody nationally cares about those left out since the field is already bloated. The NFL gives bids to their division champs and sets criteria for their wildcards. That is not a beauty pageant but that can’t be done the same way in college football, because FBS does NOT have the same parity as the NFL. To do this the P4 would need to breakaway from the G5 at a minimum to limit the field and then maybe you could get close to NFL scenarios but with salary caps, a draft, transfer portal restrictions it’s still not going to be close to the same.
  23. He was always injured at Arkansas too. So we just needed the roster spot?
