Franklin is going to get a raise for himself and/or his assistants and/or facilities upgrades. He's not leaving a team that is just around the corner from being elite to completely rebuild USC when it's not even clear that USC is willing to make those investments.

USC owns a $20million house in my wife’s hometown in LA just for the president of the school to live in. There’s gotta be plenty of money just waiting to be spent there

Upsets that are also inexplicably complete rear end-whuppings are the best. I still remember watching 2001 Colorado/Nebraska in my dorm room

He's not leaving a team that is just around the corner from being elite to completely rebuild USC when it's not even clear that USC is willing to make those investments.  There are plenty of things to critique USC about. A lack of resources is not one of them. The difference between penn state and USC right now is about 1-2 wins a year. They’ve won the conference as many times as Penn State in the last 7 years, and they’ve been to exactly 1 fewer NY6 bowl than Penn State. Like, the floor at USC is a decent achievement at Penn State. There are plenty of reasons he might not move, but the idea that Penn State is on the verge of elite is uh…citations needed. Oh, and while I’m at it, why exactly does USC want Franklin? What has he proven to be other than low rent Urban where he’s entirely assistant dependent while hiding? He can recruit I guess but it could easily be a dantonio bump from a couple hot years.

downout posted:Ya vegas seems to agree with ASU and WVU the favorites. And, uhhh, their calls are better than my hot takes. I have a weird thought that I don't have any evidence to support and am fully prepared to hear that it's stupid, I think Arizona schools being favored when maybe they shouldn't have been the past couple weeks is because sportsbetting came online in Arizona last weekend and this could be a way to take advantage of new bettors. The weakness of this thought is that I think everyone who bets probably already does but...also the crazy advertisement blitz the past month here might have brought some people in.

Betting is not designed to predict outcomes it's designed to have approximately half of bets on each side.

Strobe posted:Betting is not designed to predict outcomes it's designed to have approximately half of bets on each side. It’s more complicated than that. Bookies make money on volume and if your odds don’t seem to represent reality you either a) won’t make money because no one will bet them or b) you’ll get very lopsided betting and they will have substantial risk. The initial lines are meant to be a pretty accurate representation of what the linemaker views as the true odds because if they aren’t savvy bettors will jump in early and buy enough of the value side to force the bookies to change the line substantially to discourage those bets which then exposes the bookies to additional risk. Since they may over correct and create value on the other side of the bet.

the only true 'college sports' thing that is a major event in Japan is the annual new year's Hakone Ekiden relay marathon that goes from Tokyo to a hot springs town on day one and the same route back on day two. But this is a perfect proof of Sash!'s point about momentum: the drat thing has been held for 100 years, was originally to try and lift the international level for the Olympics, and is really the only event of its kind. other sports are at what would be a club sports level in the U.S., including some that do play American football. But the only other sport even close is the Big Six baseball league, which is like if the Ivy and Big Ten were all in NYC and instead of a multi-sport conference it only focused on football.

It generally takes a Faustian bargain of a Hugh Freeze or bizarro offense Gus to beat Saban during the regular season. I don't think this is a good chance for Florida. Emory Jones isn't going to look like much of a quarterback against this improved Alabama defense.

Week 2 Bama could definitely drop one to Florida or Georgia Week 1 Bama wouldn't let them score until the backups were in So it depends how turned up the offense is when they start imo

What has he proven to be other than low rent Urban where he’s entirely assistant dependent while hiding? He can recruit I guess but it could easily be a dantonio bump from a couple hot years. Eh, he's not a good in game coach but he is a good program builder, Penn State was hammered by sanctions when he got there and he got them competing for the conference and NY6 bowls again relatively quickly and he was competitive at loving Vandy. The recruiting thing is important too, they've had some bad classes recently and Oregon is currently whipping their rear end. Getting back to being national title contender USC starts with building a wall around LA and he's probably about as likely to do that as anyone they can realistically get (I mean short of Urban I guess but their president isn't going to allow that by all accounts). I think he's definitely a way better fit for a USC type job than someone like Matt Campbell. Maybe not than Fickell but I think they have a lot of the same strengths and weaknesses and Franklin hasn't spent his entire career in one state and has a much longer and better major conference track record.

2020 means nothing, everyone knows that. Penn State has the #1 recruiting class right now and Franklin finally has the OC he has always wanted. I don't really know what the ceiling is for the team this year, but the floor feels like it's 10-2. He might leave for USC, but it'll take a couple years to rebuild it. Maybe he's tired at Penn State and wants to try something new. Maybe he'll leave if he can't get over the OSU hump this year. It's hard to say. But I kind of feel the tide is turning a little bit in terms of PSU-OSU competitiveness. The next best team in the Big Ten is quite a bit below at this point.

Maryland with their middling bunch of blah hung 30+ on em.

MourningView posted:this is also true of recruiting class rankings in september Who's going to beat Penn State this year? Maybe Auburn, but probably not. Possibly @Iowa and almost certainly @Ohio State. Michigan isn't beating Penn State in Beaver Stadium because the home team pretty much always wins the PSU-Michigan game. So I don't know how 10-2 is so improbable. OK, maybe 9-3 is the floor, but it's honestly hard to even see that. We'll have a better sense after this Saturday. If Penn State beats Auburn at home in a white out, Penn State is probably 10-2 or better. If they lose, then probably 8-4 or 9-3. Penn State's offense was actually pretty decent in the second half against Wisconsin after adjustments were made, and they looked pretty sharp against Ball State. 500 yards of balanced offense? I've seen way worse performances against worse teams than Ball State.

Imo Alabama's offense will probably improve more from this year to next than Florida's Just because we had less dropoff doesn't mean we also aren't replacing everybody. If Richardson wants to hang with us this is the year for Mullen to give him a shot, because our offense will probably sputter out a few times on its own and Wil Anderson is banged up and may not even play Also Anderson is currently the best player in college football
