  1. Kirk Bowels moved aggy up from NR to 12.  
    It’s hard to explain Bamas dropped balls, penalties and generally shitty play.   It’s not hard to explain the shitty play calling or the young QB.   
     

    But aggy is not the 12th best team, they definitely punched way above their weight and had a really good game by their mediocre QB. 

  2. Nah, just Saban playing chess again while everyone else is playing go fish. 
     

    While king saban has decided to keep coaching until he’s 115, he realizes UT could pose a threat to his hegemony after they join SEC if they cut off his Texas pipeline.  He strategically cut their recruiting momentum by giving their in stare competition a boost.  
     

    simultaneously he guarantees aggy won’t be a threat as they plan to extend Jimbo through 2065.

     Also, he’s banking on the cult to give fisher another huge raise because that means Saban gets a raise as well.

  3. The spot on the bijan run was bad, his foot stepped out at the 2 but the ball was inches from the goal line.  So they spot it at the 2.  Didn’t end up mattering except as yet another fuckup or fuckery by the refs.

  4. Fucking reviews, and they still can’t get calls right.   At least in SEC we know they protect the top teams so lately that would not be great for us vs OU, but I’ll take that over the complete incompetence of these shitbags.

    In aggys defense (which is hard to say), all the SEC schools do this.    But aggy is taking it to step lower if you look at their future schedules for the next three seasons

    Abilene christian                                New Mexico St.                                    LA Monroe                                   UMASS
    Sam Houston                                             App St                                           Mcneese                                               Bowling green                                   New Mexico St

    Murders row over the next 3 seasons. My guess is once UT/OU join up and the schedule gets shuffled they will have to drop Miami x 2 and Domer to keep room on their schedule for the tough games above   
     

    What an absolute joke, beating their chests over winning 3-4 real games each year against the dregs of the SEC.  In 10 years they are .513 in conference play.   Pretty sure they have 4 wins over FBS teams with a winning record in the past 4 seasons.

    The good news for us is we will become beneficiaries of the SEC bias and should start out every season top 10.  After Bama, UGA, OU, UT, UF, fOSU, Pedo, Clemson, Domer, and Oregon (maybe USC if they find a coach) there simply wont be any room left for teams like aggy to start top 10. 
     

    Sure, they will still get the benefit of SEC bias but won’t start out near the top.  They will actually have to do something to get overrated and by then it’s October and it’s too late.   Clackety clack, the cart falls of it tracks.

    Dude's the leader of the offense.  If he can withstand the workload he needs to average 25 carries a game.

    Good news is we have studs behind him.   You can give him all the carries he wants and still have depth when he needs a breather.  
     

    I think Zach Evans is slightly more talented of a runner than bijan, but Bijans work ethic and ability to be a work horse make him a far better RB. 

    Watching Bamas Robinson, that dude is really good.  His blocking gets him about 10 yards before initial contact, imagine Bijan with similar instead of at the LOS.

    Look, I think Urban is a great coach, one of the greatest in college football.  But he's such a huge pussy.

    I’ll leave the obvious over played joke alone.  
     

    But completely agree on Meyer, he’s the greatest college coach of the modern era not named saban, 2 undefeated seasons and only 1 season below 8-5 with never a losing record.  
     

    Even with his giant pussy, I would sell my soul and take him as coach for 5 years until the next health crisis just to get another trophy.  

  8. Not yet able to start a new thread, nor can I find one pertaining to 2021 bowl projections so I will leave this here.  
     

    as of week 5 I’ve seen 4 different outlets predicting UT to the Sugar Bowl. 
     

    CBS sports has Hog vs UT

    Athelon sports has Ole Miss vs UT

    College football news has UT vs gata

    Sarurday down south has gata vs UT

    Brett McMurphy has cheezit bowl Notre Dame vs UT

    Meanwhile, preseason predictions had us vs Ole Miss in Texas bowl, UT vs Washington in the Alamo, Dome vs UT in cheezit, Miami vs UT cheezit, etc.

    i know that nobody knows shit right now, but currently there’s a pretty consistent theme of us playing in the Sugar against who fucking knows. 
     

    if things go well for both of us this season I don’t mind a rematch against hogs.

    No, no, no.

    No can do. "Gentlemen's agreement", sir.

    aggie out front should have wailed it to you.

    I admit it would be epic awesomeness if FSU lobbied and Sanky said “no, we have a gentleman’s agreement with UF as the flagship Florida team not to take an in-state also ran”.

  10. The ACC is absolutely terrible this year.  I mean, outside Clemson they are every year but this year is special. 
     

    Wake Forest and Boston College are the cream of the conference, the only 2 undefeated teams left.   
     

    The upcoming shuffled B12 sans UT/OU is getting some run about not being a P5 conference as they will be lacking a blue blood program, but it’s still a better conference than the ACC particularly once Dabo leaves when Saban retires and Clemson regresses to their mean.
     

    Aggy should be concerned about how fisher left FSU, they became a dumpster inferno with no end in sight. But aggy is too busy being aggy with raises and extensions desperately clinging to their national championship by proxy.  The best thing FSU could do in my opinion is lobby the SEC for entry, if they will take them?   Too lazy to look it up, where do you see them getting that win to get to 1-11, on the surface it looks like that team has quit.

    I wonder how large that payment would have to be to convince them to play for Jimbo for another year. aggy boosters are gonna need to sell a loooooooot of insurance between now and then. 

    This has been aggy’s problem for as long as they’ve been around. They’ve also had a lot of bad offenses throughout the years. 

    Have to think Saban knows this is a great opportunity to step on Jimbo’s throat and really set their program back. 

    How many times have former Saban assistants beat Saban once they became head coach?  
     

    oh yeah...

    And if we were instead say 14 before the RRR we would be the highest ranked 1 loss team in the country if we won. Now we won’t. That shit  matters. 

    To help make your point, and that pre-season Or even first couple of weeks polls are dumb, here’s an example.  
     

    forget next weeks games altogether, if we were rolling into Dallas at 3-1 and unranked while OU is 4-0 and ranked 4rh and we win 35-21 OU likely drops ~8 spots to 12 and we enter polls somewhere around 16-18.  
     

    We see this shit every year, turns out it looks like our loss was to a top 10 team in week 2 with a new staff and freshman QB.  We made adjustments and. Get on a roll but the polls won’t generally jump or drop a team more than 10 spots, usually less.   There’s a chance we never catch up to them if we both win out from there  

    Polls are a beauty contest and image does indeed matter  

    Poll position matters, particularly when it’s so difficult to go undefeated and there are a lot of 1 loss teams vying for the same spots. But our image is approaching Michigan where pollsters are more likely to wait and see.  
     

    On the flip side, we have certainly earned that wait and see attitude over the past decade, and we likely lose a few more games this year so...  But Moving to the SEC will help remedy that.

  13. Coaches poll is garbage with OU at 4, aggy 13 and Clemson 19.  
     

    they are the worst about not paying attention to what’s actually happening on the field.   
     

    There’s at least 5 teams below OU that would be favored at a neutral site, I see maybe 2-3 teams below aggy that I think they would beat. 
     

    clemson with all their talent but shitty QB play and 2-2 record should not be getting the benefit of any doubts right now.
