If we had beaten OSU, Florida, and Georgia we would be undefeated and #1

and still just in the playoffs if we played rice instead of osu.   so what’s the point of playing osu?  playoffs is playoffs.  there is no trophy for beaning number one at the end of the regular season

High quality entertainment and opposition for the fanbase.  A home-and-home with tOSU is better than 2 home games with Rice.

I would prefer to watch meaningful games in January than in September. 

Understood - I want to see them all season.

The challenge with the evolution toward 1-2 16-28 team super-conferences is that future historical records will approach 0.500.  Outliers will approach 60% wins.  It will be interesting to see what happens to donations, NIL, etc. when 10 wins becomes an anomaly for the top teams.  There are not enough children's hospitals in Louisiana or enough treated lumber customers in Alabama to support such a thing.

 

Edited to add - all records are 0.500 (duh), but the top-28 to 32 teams are well above that...

I think a relegation system is needed where the top half of the conference is set apart from the bottom half and then there are play-in games for top performers in the bottom half. But these conferences are jsut way too big and the schedules too unbalanced as constituted.

Yea or the more likely scenario is that eventually in the next decade or so the SEC and B1G pick up the few remaining blue bloods or blue blood adjacent stragglers cut a little dead weight and go do their own NFL like thing with 30ish teams.

As I’ve been saying all year, the only thing that matters is the loss column to these fuckers. No reason to ever schedule a tough OOC opponent ever again. What’s the point?
 

Shit, just play a bunch of bottom feeders and treat it like NFL preseason, who cares.
