    Who'd a thought we had the two fastest receivers in the draft.

    Was it Gerry that said we may be faster this year because of AD being replaced with speed. I guess AD looked slow next to X.

    You’re the only one that doesn’t get my point.

    Let me spell it out for you only Oregon (money), USC, Ohio State and Michigan can throw their weight around in the BIG 10 conference and get the kids they want and constantly recruit in the top 10. Nebraska (18) and Penn State (15) even out because they can easily both recruit top 20 ranking talent. Penn State may be geographically closer to top level talent but only once in a while are they going to beat out Ohio State and Michigan for local talent those guys really covet. Therefore, both Penn State and Nebraska depend on their evaluations and development to be successful. So who gives a shit if that talent is local or from California and Texas. I sent you the Nebraska roster so that you could see that no matter how bad Nebraska sucks they are still pulling talent from states in which talent can be found.

    Yet some more proof that Nebraska does not have far to climb to reach Penn State even though they have sucked really badly compared to Penn State. The problem with the original statement is you lumped Penn State into a category in which they do not belong

    The amount of football talent in that part of the world absolutely dwarfs what comes out of Nebraska.  Pennsylvania is a massive state population wise, and Penn State is the only school with a statewide fanbase there.

    Really it's a lot of the same advantages that the other 3 have, but it's not quite on their level.

    Nebraska got kids out of California and Texas and used the fact they were good to recruit Florida and New Jersey. Local kids was never their secret to success.

    I don't disagree, but they'll never be able to crack tOSU, Michigan, USC, and Penn State.  All of those programs have a lot more built in advantages.  Their ceiling right now seems like 5th place in the Big 10.  

    Once Nebraska wasn't a Top 2 job in their league, they started a hard fade.

    I agree with you on Bama.  Their renaissance was due to the best coach in the history of the sport being there.  I don't think DeBoer is that.

    I agree with with three programs you have listed but how does Penn State have more advantages? Please educate us.

    Well, I'm glad someone got to the bottom of that.

    Nebraska hasn't been above average in over 20 years.  This is who they are now.

    UCLA lacks the give a shit to get off the mat.

    Nebraska had 3 10 win seasons between 2009 and 2012 and we all thought Bo Pelini sucked as a coach. A half decent coach probably turns two of those seasons into 12 win seasons. We will know in two more years if Nebraska will start being better than average because I think they have the right coach.

    The chart above is pretty clear that there are only 8 true blue bloods. I would begrudge Nebraska being in there, but you can't really deny it historically speaking.

    tOSU, Oklahoma, Bama, Michigan, Notre Dame, Texas, Nebraska

    That second tier I would classify 9 teams there. 

    Penn State, Florida, LSU, Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee, UCLA, Florida State, Miami

    Best of the Rest

    Clemson, A&M, Washington, Michigan State, Arky, Wisconsin

     

    Right now Nebraska and UCLA are in quarantine as far as the tier they belong too. I would be surprised if Nebraska does not figure it out at some point. Blue bloods always do regardless of hiatus. Bama had been a really bad program for about 10 years and some thought their glory days were in the rear view mirror.

    Where does it say that the top conference champs get the top 4 seeds? Could they get the bye but not be seeded one through 4 ?

  8. Right now I want to say sarcastically great OT of a shitty game then I realize that in August I will be watching shitty football with great sense of appreciation after the offseason.
