Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
The NCAA has done an abysmal job at protecting and promoting the sport but it’s clear that conferences and media conglomerates are doing much worse. Fewer teams taking bigger slices of a slowly shrinking pie can only be camouflaged for so long.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
No one wants to hear it or think about it but cutting half of the teams out of even nominally being in big-time football will not be healthy or sustainable for the sport long-term and should be fought at every opportunity. It’s a short-term boost that will lead to fewer people watching and caring about CFB, fewer HS athletes aspiring to become CFB athletes and fewer incentives for a shrinking pool to care about football. These programs already exist on the margins. Not directly analogous but similar to the rise of traveling teams slowly killing off baseball as a youth sport for future generations. As I’ve said, the inventors of the playoff don’t really like college football. If you like college football you want the G5 to be healthy and on sustainable footing. You want more D1 programs not fewer. Shrinking a sport doesn’t help it.

Whats gonna be funny is when all these teams schedule dogshit opponents and then still don’t make the playoffs, that’s surely hugely good for fans and donors and alums. No playoff and you are watching your team play Rutgers as your big OOC matchup. I don’t see the downside. The playoff was designed by people who don’t like college football and it keeps making the game worse in new ways.

Yeah, Mormons are by and large thinner and more attractive than GenPop despite the sugar addiction. Carpet basketball, church dances, and clean living balance that out.

A&M got Bama ALL the years. We shared a division with them. There are two former SECE teams we have played only once: UGA and Kentucky. Texas has played both of them more often in the regular season since joining.- Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
A&M played two teams in the top half of the SEC standings at EOY: Texas and Mizzou (8). The odds of that happening appear to be pretty high, because that also happened to Texas with UGA and A&M (7), to identical results of 1-1 in the first year of the superconferences. Unbalanced schedules are inherent to this.- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
I can’t go here with you without knowing what the current #12 in your rankings played. I can imagine a world where the current 12 played 10 teams in the top 12, and the 14 and 15 team and emerged with a 9-3 record. I wouldn’t put them below your 7-5 team in any universe. Arguing that records would be flipped if the schedules were swapped is entirely hypothetical, those games weren’t played. SoS is a factor but it isn’t everything. And any ranking of 130+ teams, no matter the formula, is going to be imprecise. Beating the 12 ranked team vice beating the 14th ranked team is not so impressive as to outweigh additional losses.- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
The SEC “protects” its best teams such that EVERY SEC team plays a more difficult schedule than Tech did. Every last one. Every SEC team played a P4+ND OOC game, Tech did not. The SEC schedule is a moot point because it’s going to 9 games, but this is complicated because unlike Tech lots of SEC teams have permanent or semi-annual respectable opponents like Clemson, GT, FSU/Miami, Louisville, etc. Your non-stop huffing over BIG XII NINE GAMES HURR is stupid because the Big XII is a D-tier league stocked with teams that didn’t get invited to the bigs and G5 call-ups. It’s a glorified G5 league. Playing more Big XII games is a knock against you. You’d play a better slate by dropping a game and replacing it with another P4 opponent.- Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs

This is some really stupid shit slorch. Are you trying to argue that a couple years ago SEC schedulers deliberately designed a schedule with the foreknowledge that 3 teams ranked in the 2025 top 15 preseason would completely fall out by the end of the year and four teams ranked 18 or below would finish with 2 or fewer losses and move up?- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
My brain is breaking a bit here because a team by definition can’t go 7-5 against the top 12 and also be inside said top 12. It can’t play itself. You have 13 teams here in this scenario and one of them has to be 13. (So this has in a contained way shown why you can’t design a perfectly satisfactory playoff cutoff at any given point).- Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Also, I like it that the Mormons are coming to play in the mire. Big American Primeval vibes, back to the swashbuckling, gunslinging roots. Only in the USA baby.- Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?

BYU ain’t out of it by a longshot and having a literal prophet of the Almighty in the back pocket as a persuader carries significant heft so long as the coach believes it.- Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Firing Franklin to get BYU corch is really funny. In the interim Franklin is dismantling PSU’s class. I admire what he’s doing. No bullshit, no whining. Left with dignity and went to work.- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
No, see, you claimed that SEC won’t schedule the Big XII and that was laughable and stupid because the Big XII is all over current and future SEC slates. “Not scheduling Texas Tech” is a very different proposition. Why would the SEC top tier book a H2H involving a trip to Lubbock when they can line up marquee OOC opponents with big audiences and national interest anywhere they want? SLC and Tempe at least offer nice trips, Kansas offers a historical rivalry. What is Tech offering to an LSU or Georgia who can schedule teams like ND, Clemson, Michigan for their premiere OOC H2H series? And until a hot minute ago Tech wasn’t even a particularly GOOD Big XII team. Guess what, Cincinnati isn’t getting those games either.- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
I don’t count coach podium chatter as an actual attempt to schedule. In any event, LSU currently has Utah and ASU on future schedules. “Won’t schedule Big XII” is a laughable point. 2026 currently has WVa, ASU, Utah, Kansas, Baylor on the SEC OOC slate.- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
Hell of a thing to dismiss a team that played OSU closer than Texas did in the NC game as no one.- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
What sort of gibberish is this? The SEC won’t schedule the Big XII or ACC? Off the top of my head SEC teams have played the following teams this year OOC: Baylor, ASU, Clemson, Miami, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, FSU, Syracuse, Kansas, Louisville. That’s in addition to multiple B1G and ND OOC games. And the Big XII and ACC got their cheeks clapped on the whole. What SEC games has Tech reached out to try and schedule?- Lane Kiffin to LSU?
He went 7-5 at Tennessee, then got fired in an embarrassing way at USC. He’s since had two good seasons at FAU and four 10+ win seasons at Ole Miss. He isn’t yet smelling someone like Spurrier’s jock let alone actual GOAT candidates. - Lane Kiffin to LSU?
