Can we please just move to the pod scheduling system that gets brought up every year? It would even allow for dumb unevenly numbered conferences to mostly work out! ACC divisions are kinda dumb but at this point seem to have mostly worked out, the Coastal was better for a while, now the Atlantic is it'll all even out. Both divisions have 2 strong programs a couple sometimes strong and a few you never know but probably bad programs. It really could be a lot worse in the ACC. e: I'm gonna hash that out because why not my team is on a bye what else do I have to post about. Coastal Strong: VT, Miami Coastal Could Be Strong: Pitt, GT, UNC Coastal Keep Wishin: UVA, Duke Atlantic Strong: FSU, Clemson Atlantic Could be Strong Louisville, NCSU Atlantic Keep Wishin WF, Cuse, BC The Atlantic is just more consistently lopsided. We got that parity yall The Notorious ZSB fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Oct 9, 2017 |

I hated legends and leaders because they only gave each team one permanent cross division game. Iowa/Minnesota/Wisconsin have a long standing Triangle of hate, but Iowa and Minnesota were in one division and Wisconsin was in the other so only one of those games could be an every year thing the way it was set up. Minnesota and Wisconsin are closer and have played for slightly longer so that one got protected while the generally way more competitive Iowa/Wisconsin rivalry died and was replaced with a completley random permanent matchup against loving Purdue that no one on either side understood or cared about. The current one is a mess competitively but at least does a better job protecting all the traditional rivalries people cared about, which I think was the intention, along with creating divisions people could actually remember (I know Iowa and Minnesota were in the Legends and Wisconsin was in leaders, otherwise I have no clue who was where). The Pod thing SBNation writes up periodically would solve all these problems but alas will never happen because it makes too much sense

I feel like we tend to beat you guys when we shouldn't, and we've dropped some head-scratching games to y'all when we've had really good teams (I will never get over 2013). There's also the fact that Knoxville is a house of horrors for us, and we've had probably two good performances there in total. I absolutely think we can win, I just wouldn't be surprised if there was some late game Butch Jones fuckery that gives us the L.

I think Wisconsin was Penn State's other division team. I know it wasn't Nebraska, because that was the one I'd have preferred. The team splits from the Leaders and Legends days probably would have been fun in the long term, but they poisoned it with the moron names. I wish they'd gone with vaguely regional names like "Rivers and Lakes" or "Steel and Corn."

I still don't see a QB worth starting at a P5 team walking through that door, so unless Guarantano suddenly like becomes something we aren't gonna score above 20 again this season I bet. I'm basically convinced this team is 6-6 at best and having watched them play the first half I dunno how they'll find 3 more wins playing offense like that and letting the defense get gassed.

sportsgenius86 posted:oh man another night game for them? Don't tell Chris Petersen. It's the third and, likely final regular season night game. The only one scheduled before the season was Georgia State at home, and that was for the BTN to have something to show in prime time. I doubt Franklin is going to complain about it. It's a tremendous home field advantage.

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:Divisions are dumb, looking at you ACC Not disagreeing, but the ACC has submitted NCAA legislation I believe on two separate occasions to deregulate the Championship game match-up. That would effectively render divisions moot, or at worst a scheduling construct only. Both times the NCAA shot it down. So... blame where blame is due.

Big Ten should go back to ten, play a round robin schedule. Big East ----------- Penn State Notre Dame Miami West Virginia Pitt Virginia Tech Louisville Boston College Syracuse Rutgers (every conference needs a poo poo team) edit: I'm actually kidding because the Big Ten academic consortium is too important to the university, but it's still an interesting conference lineup

That seems like probably not a huge deal given the defense he was playing and the likelihood of Hail Marys working in general. Also Nebraska won a game that year on the Flea Kicker, which was both insanely lucky bullshit and against the rules, if you really want to play what ifs from 1997 (there is also a pretty decent chance they don't get enough coaches to change their minds and vote Nebraska 1st without Osborne announcing his retirement right before the bowl game) MourningView fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Oct 9, 2017 |

Which they never will because the money is too good. We've made clear how we feel about WVU, we dislike it so much we'd rather have cheatin hooker buyin Louisville in the conference than WVU. No one wants Rutgers back to the AAC with you.
