What about Kentucky’s quality out conference wins against… uhh. Chattanooga and ULM?

This is unfair, they have transitive wins over Towson, Jackson State and SEMO too.

Anyone know of a site that will let you look at a consolidated list of transfers (in and out) of a program? I know that some do transactions but I’d like to see total numbers - in this example who all/how many transferred out of UT balanced against who all transferred in.

Huh, I don't know where to find this but I'm sure this is out there somewhere and it'd be interesting to look at.

Transfers as a whole have just exploded the last couple of years with the new rules.

The turnover thing would worry me as far as sustainably being good goes.

I mean creating opportunities you can reliably do if you're good enough at it, continually coming up with them is harder.

Meanwhile, Texas Tech is going to finish the season 4-8 with a loss to Kansas next week.

I've been slacking on my utterly bewildering habit of watching Kansas football this year, are they looking anything more like a team does anyone know?

I see they scored some points against Coastal and Duke, which they maybe might not have done before. But I'm guessing most of those points came in garbage time?

No one really thinks Kentucky will hang with Georgia do they? Do they?

I think it's more the idea that Kentucky's defense is decent, their O is better than usual and we've had years of Georgia laying an egg on offense out of nowhere at any given time.

Georgia by 20+ at minimum is what my brain says, but my heart says there's a chance.

Gonna need OU to finally get that loss they've been begging for and Oklahoma state to lose so the Roadrunners and Ponies run wild on these maps.

If Kentucky beats Georgia somehow that immediately makes them rivals with SMU. Iowa is going to dominate in any case.

Fu is this same way and he played in Oklahoma so maybe something about that state inspires secrecy so far beyond what anyone should care about.

Goes back to at least Bill Snyder who Stoops coached under. Snyder had full on wars with the media early on before he settled down and became a loveable grandpa.

I wonder if Hayden Fry was the same way.

Top right is good offense and defense. Bottom right is good offense, bad defense. Top Left is bad offense, good defense. Bottom left is bad both.

Tennessee has a really good offense and average defense. My guess as to why he loves that group of schools is because they probably have wildly different records, while all being very close to each other in EPA. That's all I can think of.

Also the diagonals are supposed to equal out who's about the same, so Kansas is roughly equal to UMass in that chart's theory, just in different ways. Or Clemson and OU, etc.

As to that group he loves yeah I think it's because it has some teams that everyone thinks are really good bunched up with teams everyone thinks are terrible.

e: I should quote the chart for the new page so it's easy to look at. I mean I don't know how much I buy any of this but that's how it is supposed to work.

Gators, Hogs, Iowa State, Michigan, Pitt and Liberty are all a little better than Bama according to that and they're spot on with Nebraska, so...yeah. It's a weird funny stat thing to look at (until Bama starts losing a bunch and not just one game).

Man Rattler sure bailed in a hurry. I’d be a littler nervous if I’m OU from a depth perspective and also hoping Williams doesn’t fall back to earth.

Rattler’s draft stock has to be plummeting.

That article says he's still in for now although everyone expects he'll transfer after the season, sounds more like Lincoln gave him a day off because he was pissed about not getting enough first team reps--or for whatever reason, not like they're going to tell us.

I can't find anything other than that one tweet from someone I'm not familiar with that says he's in the transfer portal already, and as noted it wouldn't do him any good right now since he'd have to wait until next season to play again (I do not know if you can or how to search the portal). Might as well stick around for the rest of the year in case Caleb Williams turns out to be terrible or gets hurt?

But yeah his draft stock went from at least in the conversation to be first overall to like 5th round in about a month. To be fair the first overall stuff was mainly based on 'is he Oklahoma's quarterback?' and maybe a bit of having a strong arm as far as I can tell.

So did Kansas invent fake violations to get Beatty fired?

Yeah pretty much. I mean they (KU) dug through everything looking for the pettiest stuff they could find so they could fire him for cause, it was pretty lovely.

I think his NCAA crime was having unpaid assistants in the wrong place at the wrong time or something, it was always crap. One of those times I'd feel better about it if the NCAA was doing it just because they suck and we all know it, this was KU doing it because they were cheap.

This was a Jeff Long special too, if you need more reason to dislike that guy.

In point spread talk Nebraska is 3.5 point favorites at Minnesota, which seems fine and Nebraska should probably be favored by more.

But picking Nebraska in any game as a favorite is so hard to do. And on the road, although that's generally mitigated by the whole Nebraska thing. This is purely pickem chat for me, no way I get near putting actual money down on any of this.
