The point of PAC After Dark is that there was usually a massive scrum to win the Pac12 South and make the CCG. Now these teams are buried in an 18 team league.
Penn St - Nebraska should be the rivalry game for Thanksgiving weekend, not that the BUG would allow another rivalry that week. They could play for the 1994 trophy.
PSU interim coach actively campaining for the job following the win over mighty NU.
Now we need Michigan to lose to anOSU. Ohio already has a playoff slot locked up. But no one thinks the Buckeyes won't ball out to snap the losing streak in their regional rivalry.
So needing two scores with 4 min left, SC finally tries a forward pass, on 4th down.
Hey Lincoln idiot. You need a TD and an onside kick. Not to grind out a few first downs.
Miami called timeout with 2 seconds left so they could beat 3-8 VTech by 17 instead of 10. Little did they know abosultely no one will be talking about them Monday.
Is Duke somehow still alive for the ACCCG?
I'll give you ASU and UT. VT is 3-8 and Baylor is fringe .500. So, two upsets among the bottom 5? And IIRC Texas A&M played and beat the entire bottom 5.
I would guess that this year is worse for your Mendoza line. In the recent era the top SECw teams visiting the SECe teams like @USCe, UK, was the danger zone. Spurrier even beat Saban once at USCe.
The SEC is very polarized this year, I think your game vs UF wa the only draw drop upset. Models like the Colley Matrix reward playing teams that won 20 and 3 games and don't reward a slee of 7-5 teams in the middle.
That is Oregon's problem right now, they have played a large block of .500 teams and lost to Indiana. Beating USC and Washington will help although those teams will finish with three or four losses.
Not possible. If Michigan finishes with two losses then they must have beaten Ohio State and knocked the Buckeyes out of the conference championship game. H-H tiebreakers are SC > UM > OSU. likewise if Trojans are 10-2 then they beat the Ducks, so SC is in the ccg against IU.
It's also a fiction to equate 9 games in the SEC with 9 other games in the SEC. As of now Texas A&M has played five conference teams with a losing record. (Best conf opps have been Missouri and LSU). Add Sanford UTSA and Utah State. They are lucky we have rebounded or they would be heading into the Texas bowl having played nobody yet of course locked up a berth in the conference championship game.
The big two conferences have only themselves to blame if that's a problem. They poached the best teams from the other conferences. They bloated the playoffs so there 10-2 teams could have extra Mulligans. So I don't want to hear from an engineer that hates his own system.
24 team playoff!
The explanation is that a lot of those win percentage graphs are crude. The only way you could be that big an underdog at 14-10 is it you were averaging one yard per play but somehow scored 10 points off unforced fumbles.
Did that make the nightly news at the time? If that happened today, toy sword or not, the social media blitz would force the local authorities to arrest the royal guardsman or whatever he is.
SCe got serious a generation ago hiring Holtz & Spurier. It takes more than serious in that spot though; #2 in a state without a huge talent base, lots of nearby competitors.
Who is the SEC's best win, besides others from the SEC?
Is that team any good? Do they deserve to be in the CFP? If that team was the best win of the entire conference then is the conference really proven?
