Coach, how did we beat Tennessee this year? The same way Vanderbilt did.

Probably but if you look at his SEC east competition during his tenure, maybe not?

WINNINGEST BEVO

Can't wait for Texas to go undefeated and win a natty this season

I don’t know what the o/u on Texas wins is or will be but take the under. Hype is gonna say expect to be in title contention, but the DL and secondary are both looking like liabilities, Baxter has not shown Bijan/Brooks type ability at RB, and the loss of Worthy, Mitchell, and Sanders in the receiving corps will be felt. Last year was the lightning in a bottle year and we still had to luck into like 4 of our wins. Way more likely we drift back toward a season more typical of Texas/Sark than take that step to the next level.

goddamn if Moore makes it a 4-peat i think the Michigan smugness will break all known levels. Doesn't matter if they go 4-7 before, ruining Ryan Day's life would be worth it.

Nope. Ryan Day would be welcomed by almost all teams except Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Alabama, and Michigan. If he can't get it done this year, a lot of people need to go.

I almost feel like them losing only to Michigan and still winning a title is the funniest outcome.

E: I still want the Buckeyes to lose badly and always, but the idea of their title being marred by a middling Michigan with a first year coach and the stink hanging around Day after would be great.

There is no universe in which UVA even remotely fits into the general Big Ten Big-Ten-ness. All of the Big Ten towns (that existed at the time) have monuments from the time they went to war with UVA's general vibe.

Isn’t modern realignment to B1G/SEC essentially going to come down to fanbase size? It is hard to see those two taking Miami. Feels more like the Big 12 would since they want any “brand name teams” they can get.

Yup.

I really don't think that the P2 are going to be able to break away from the B2 in any meaningful way... It may become a P2/B1, but there will always be an "everyone else" contingent to the top schools.

I think that the G5 just giving up and making their own playoff a-la FCS is a real possibility. The G5 coaches have been talking about the P4 leagues using them as recruiting grounds.

I just want Pitt and WVU to survive. I feel the same way as the Steelers did when they voted against Cleveland moving to Baltimore. gently caress them, but not like this.

College football game piggies will buy whatever EA puts out and love it and ask for more.

also, clemson seems like they're on the decline and heading further down in football at the wrong time. unsure how the rest of their sports are but IDK they're the slam dunk to get a premier conference bid folks seem to think they are.

I feel like Clemson could probably get back into title contention (instead of being a "just OK" 10-win kind of team) if Dabo can be made to give up his vendetta against transfers. Mike Krzyzewski had to finally give up on his opposition to 1-and-dones and it worked out almost instantly for him.
