>>152121667That would indeed be surprising. It's difficult to get a read on how serious Cal is about their football program since it was an afterthought for so long. Being left behind and needing to beg the ACC for a home may have caused them to wake up.

>Professional kickers
>>152122093NCAA hockey in the southeast is the funniest and most sovlfvl thing at the same time. There are no ice rinks in Gainesville or Tallahassee so both teams play their "home games" in Jacksonville. So when they schedule a home-and-home, they play 2 hockey games at the same ice rink.I don't know how FSU practices, but the Gators drive their asses 2 hours to Jacksonville to hold practice.
>>152122253ut.eduIs that Texas you see there?
>>152122253UT is Tampa. Regardless the donghorns do have a hockey team it's in the TCHC
>>152121996>especially since they're a lock to make the playoffs againare they though? sure 11-1 looks good on paper, but they played the bottom rungs of a weak conference. their headlining win is against the 5th best team in the SEC, who they only beat by 7 and who dominated that game statistically. i don't think we can rule out an at-large 2-loss team to hop ohio state. alabama or miami or even vanderbilt, or hell if they win big enough maybe we reconsider texas on the totality of the schedules played

UAB has requested an interview with FSU OC Gus Malzahn. He's also been mentioned a few times as a possible candidate for the Arkansas job.
>>152129793That would be a good "until retirement" job for him. He already has lots of connections in the state, both with high school programs and with the donor class (even if he doesn't like that part of the job). Their facilities, while not P2, are newish. The expectations aren't all that high. There's a Waffle House less than a mile from the football operations center. The main problem would be that UAB answers to the same Board of Trustees as UAT. If UAB looks like they're even a slight danger of luring away potential third string benchwarmers from UAT, UAB's progress could be sabotaged again.
R8 my conference realignment prediction:B1G adds FSU and MiamiSEC adds Clemson and either GTech or TTechI think both conferences want FSU, but given the choice, FSU would slightly prefer the B1G. Miami also gets invited to give FSU a geographic partner similar to the USC/UCLA deal, except Miami is arguably has more to offer in their own right than UCLA did. The SEC would then be in a position where they have 4 less members than the B1G, and while they wouldn’t necessarily HAVE to expand, I think Clemson offers enough that they’d still want them in any case. But only taking Clemson would put them at 17 members which would be a nightmare for scheduling, so I do think they’d feel some urgency to add an 18th member to round things out. In which case I think they basically look at a pool of schools who could most fit the existing SEC blueprint as a +1 addition. UNC and VTech would probably get some consideration, but I think GTech and TTech are the ones that the SEC would really be looking at as schools that you could just slot in to the conference seamlessly on the bill of their rivalries with pre-existing members. While I can’t say with confidence which one they’d prefer in 5-6 years from now, my gut tells me that taco has the better trajectory of a program currently.Also as a bonus prediction, if the SEC decides to go all the way to 20 members to match the B1G, I can see a world where they legitimately consider Utah/BYU. Gives them yet another high profile rivalry, both decent programs, and Utah is basically the Deep South of the western U.S..
>>152130204yawn
>>152130204Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Florida State all join the SEC. The Big Private Equity Conference back fills with raids of the ACC and Big XII. The remains of those two conferences merge, though it is structured as a raid so the new conference can dump undesirable members.
>>152130289The B1G responds by taking Cal, Stanford, Virginia, and UNC. The ACC/B12 drops Wake Forest, Syracuse, Louisville, UCF, Cincinnati, Houston, Baylor, TCU, and WVU.
Thoughts on Pavia's mom?
>>152130412For me it's classic B1G matchups like Cal vs Rutgers
It's Outhttps://youtu.be/fH4Ox3jRjwI?si=Cxa9XWAqtF2Uplti
>>152130289If you are gonna go that route, then the SEC might as well also restructure to drop its shitters. As crazy as this sounds though, short of a return to smaller traditional conferences, the next best thing for college football would be a multi tiered super league that has promotion and relegation. Conference realignment is already essentially a pro/rel system except way more laissez faire and stupid, but if you were to codify it to use results on the field to determine the yearly realignment, it’s the one way I think you could get popular support for a super league.
>>152130414I want her vile stink all over my dick
>>15213041438yo milfs bro
>>152130412This would literally make the B1G worse than the Big12/ACC merger conference lol. Clemson, Miami, TTU, BYU, Utah, VT, ASU, AU, Colorado, OKST, GTech, Iowa St, KU, KSU, Pitt, NCState. That would just be a really solid football conference top to bottom. B1G meanwhile would have a better brand power with USC, Oregon, and Penn St, but 3/4th of that conference would basically be giving you just completely garbage matchups every week.USC, Oregon, Penn St + a bunch of shitters>Clemson, Miami,
>>152130479OH look, pro/rel fag is showing his face again. No wants your soccer communist shit. Fuck off.
>>152130658Just the cost of getting into bed with and opening one's anus to private equity. They've been warned of the consequences if they go ahead but the poverty programs can't look beyond the excitement of their payday loan money.
>>152130479You can't add promotion and relegation to an established league. Give it up.
>>152130414Imagine your stepdad is theo von
>>152130204Not within the confines of reality/10One of the worst I’ve ever seen on here. You do not hear the voices of your ancestors and are probably a reality demon or slave to the demiurge. I recommend a heroic amount of ayahuasca and reading Bear Bryant’s biography, maybe that will put you on the path to the esoteric background required to begin to comprehend ball.
I keep seeing people say that Oregon would be safe even if they lose to Washington, but would they really? Assume all the other bubble teams win this week, how would BYU not leap them? BYU would at that point have >one less loss>a better win (Utah > USC)>a less worse worst loss (Tech >> Wash)>better SOR>a conference title appearanceWhich begs the question if you’re not snubbing BYU to keep Oregon in, who are you moving out? Bama? OU? ND? All those teams similarly have much better resumes than a 2 loss Oregon, even ND who is notoriously already relying on some flimsy mental gymnastics to even be where they are.
>>152130479Returning to small conferences is the only good suggestion you gave pro/rel fag. The only pro/rel system that should take place in cfb is the football teams of texas, alabama, nc state, nebraska, fresno st, wisconsin, georgia, kansas, ohio st, and uconn being relegated to permanent NCAA death pentalty
>>152130956Oregon's fine.Committee has to pretend B1G has any depth of field so they're safe.
>>152130414disgusting behavior for a mother if we're keeping it one hundy.

>>152131008Except then the SEC would also have a very sound argument to say “whoa whoa whoa, 2 loss vandy is out, but a 2 loss Oregon is in just bcuz B1G?”. Oregon really does not have a good argument against ANY of the bubble teams if they lose to Washington.
>>152131056>>first major realignment was the collapse of the SWCCollege football predates the 1990s, sweaty

>>152131135>pitiable?Program
>>152131135Art Briles is 70 years old. Most likely, no one. That ship has sailed.
>>152131122the good argument is even if they dont care about sparing the B1G's ego, they do, but letting the SEC have too much power and influence and relevance undermines them and is counter to the entire mission which is too eventually maximize talent parity across the sport and have NFL 2.

I think conferences are seriously gonna consider getting rid of CCGs after this season. With how bloated conferences are now, they really don’t serve any purpose except bid poaching and potentially fucking over a team for playing an extra game.

There's no real shot for JMU, right? It would take a lot of chaos for them to jump whoever wins the AAC, right?
Be honest anons. Were you a drunk in college?
>>152132808No shot. Even the committee views them as reddit after wearing super hero comic helmets.
>>152132841The marvel helmets really dried up the committussy
>>152132808The fact that they're currently ranking a two loss team as the last G6 team tells you all you need to know. UNT would be next up and if somehow both UNT and Tulane take a loss this week they would just grab the next AAC team.
>>152120395Is it true that singing a song about being cucked is Michigan’s #1 football tradition?
>>152131268I’m more offended by how they didn’t even try to make it look visually appealing. Even if you properly cooked this abomination, it would still look like trash.

>>152133279Isn't supposed to be both the runner-ups of the Big 12 and ACC championships?
>>152133352Blame Florida and LSU more than anything else. I would laugh if it was all just a psyop, though, to fuck up their coaching searches.
>>152133389Surely they are pursuing other guys too. They can't be retarded enough to not to, but that would be really funny.
>>152132808The reality is that the American is the top G5 league as far as the media and committee are concerned. The other leagues need massive fuck ups in the American, and need to have their champ go undefeated to get in over the AAC champ. Ever since the big east turned into the American, it's been the G5's favored child.
>>152133436I really thought the Sun Belt (specifically the east division) might start to challenge the AAC but the entire Sun Belt conference has been spectacularly shitty this season. It's not helpful for JMU trying to get into the CFP.

>chip kelly fucks off to the NFL and gets fired after like 10 gameswhat was his endgame

>>152133436You act like it was a forgone conclusion that the AAC would be the G5 rep, but Boise St was last year’s G5 rep, and them and UNLV were seen as the preseason favorites this year. The American is perceived as the best G5 conference this year because it is.

>>152132808At this point, JMU’s best chance is for Duke to meme their way in to winning the ACC, so the G5 gets 2 champs in. Apparently Duke is somehow still alive in the ACC race.
>>152133558that WAS the end game
>>152133468>the entire Sun Belt conference has been spectacularly shitty this season>this season
>>152133436It's them and the mountain west, though that's probably going to change due to the nupac
>>152133424They probably have others in mind if Kiffin doesn't come but those others are also being pursued by other programs. One of them might find themselves not only Kiffin-less, but also needing to go several rungs down the ladder to who is still available.
>>152133468Maybe if they weren't shitty, JMU would have been eliminated long ago due to losses.
>>152133075No, being less than truthful about ticket sales and stadium attendance is their number one tradition.

What's going to be the stronger conference, nuPAC, or MWC
>>152134445Points and yards are not fungible. You may know stats, but you clearly don't know ball.
>>152134474they are not fungible, and I never claimed they were. They do, however, have a clear and strong causal relationship that's statistically significant. Ignoring them entirely when analyzing teams with similar records doesn't make you smart.
>>152134469nuPAC. The Mountain West is losing most of its good teams other than UNLV. Adding UTEP and Northern Illinois isn't going to replace what they lost.
>>152134260This is an argument for why Oregon should be in the playoffs over BYU currently, not an argument for why they should be in over BYU if Oregon loses to Washington. Like you said, they have comparable SoS, but Oregon would have an extra loss + loss to worse team + lesser best win than BYU if they lose next week.
>>152134469NuPac is the new MWC NUMWC is the new WAC
Why is everyone just assuming Lane is going to LSU instead of UF? One thing I don't see being talked about is Tennessee, you know, Florida's archrival. I think Kiffin has such a deep hatred for those pieces of shit after how they ran him out of town. He has an opportunity to forcefully sodomize them every single season for years to come. Doesn't he want revenge on those disgusting animals? Doesn't he want to crush those demonic lowlife trash scumbags and their laughable football program?
>>152134126They outsource production to their future governor.
>>152134555but we're also assuming that BYU loses to texas tech in this scenario. Obvioulsy things will change if oregon loses at washingtonand BYU goes 1-1. They won't close the gap in SOS or game control.
>>152134566This is all one big ruse to distract from the inevitable gaylen firing/kiffy homecoming
>>152134562Wouldn't mind seeing some wacky WAC ball again.
>>152131135>next yearFlorida will snatch him up in a week after they whiff on Kiffin. The pearl clutchers will have already expended their feigned outrage at ENM and Florida will escape scrutiny by a simple "It's Florida, man". Hell that might've been the plan all along, and we'll see ENM be one of Florida's patented SEC late season cupcakes they pay millions to to get destroyed
>>152134595Really want to see Lane sign with LSU a day before Alabama's job opens up. Maximum butt hurt all around.
>>152134588If BYU gets blown out by TxTech again, then it’s fair play to favor Oregon. But if that game is close, even if BYU loses, you are basically punishing BYU for playing an extra game vs a top 5 or even possibly even top 4 team at that point. How about we make Oregon play Indiana again except at a neutral site? Oregon’s one singular argument over BYU is that they at least they played Indiana somewhat competitively, while Tech put a smackdown on BYU. That all goes out the window if BYU plays Tech close in a rematch while Oregon received its 2nd loss to a team that isn’t even ranked.
>>152134199I swear Kirby is the fulmer of this era
It's not a meat judging championship but still will take it.
the conferences are too large for the committee to claim that they won't punish teams for losting the CCG. BYU with two blowouts vs. TTU shouldn't be allowed in the playoffs, but they have a legitimate argument today.If they want to avoid that bullshit, then final rankings should come out prior to CCG. That of course would create other issues.
>>152134705>If
>>152134705washington is definitely in the 20-30 range. Getting too hung up on "not even ranked" is silly. losing on the road against them isn't really an indictment so much as a negative data point among many others.
>>152134719Jon Gruden got #metood for saying something similar
>>152134754BYU has played and beat Iowa St and Arizona on the road, and they’re in that same range.
>>152134823Well Iowa State is not in that range, but Arizona is. Oregon has also beaten teams at and above that range.
>>152134763Gruden to Auburn confirmed.
https://x.com/American_Conf/status/9319147649376256You now remember this was a thing
>>152134937Oh I remember
>>152134733I agree, but because getting blown out is fundamentally a sign that a team could never realistically compete for a championship to begin with. For all we know, Texas Tech might actually be a powerhouse right now and could do the same if they played Georgia or Indiana, and BYU could be slightly more deserving as a fodder team than a 2 loss OU or 2 loss Bama, but who cares? The whole reason why we have a playoffs is to determine who the actual BEST team is. That said, if BYU plays Tech really close in a rematch and loses on a fluky or controversial play, then all that goes out the door, and you kinda want to see both in the playoffs.
btw pate nailed it. the committee is just using the BCS, making making one or two adjustments, then stumbling through trying to explain their "reasoning" instead of just saying they use computer models and rarely override them.
>>152134852Oregon has beaten exactly 2 teams on the road in the same range as Arizona and Iowa St. Iowa and Penn St. And guess who has beaten Iowa this season? Oh wait, that’s right, Iowa St did.And if you want to go down below that range, vs TCU and @Cincy are significantly better wins than Oregon’s 4th or 5th best wins (@NW and vs Wisconsin).
>>152135246instead of wriggling like this, i refer you to >>152134260
>>152135304>nooooo don't look at who they played>Oregon should be in based on their yards gained against Oklahoma St
>>152135105Computer model + Whatever I can use to boost my conference
>>152135352i explicitly did look at they played, and it's embarrassing that you could have interpreted otherwise. I'm telling you to stop applying inconsistent and arbitrary measurements to their opponent qualities.
Bring back Mel. At least I could laugh at him. This muttering pussy is so soft he's not even memeable
>>152132429
>>152135423
>>152131268No, that would be Florida. Ohio is objectively the most retarded state, however.
>>152132814I dunno, I was mostly sober for the parts I remember...
>>152135423ayy
>>152135105Nah, that’s a midwit take from the king of reddit takes. The committee’s logic is pretty simple and intuitive. Blowing out bad teams = good, getting blown out = very bad, beating good teams = good, losing to bad teams = extremely bad but forgivable if it just happens once, losing close to good teams = we’ll give you a mulligan unless it keeps happening.
>>152134733When did they say that ccg games will affect the losers again? Smpoo wasn't punished.
>>152135304>Oregon has vastly superior net success, yards per play margin, net scoring margin.Because they’ve played more cupcakes than BYU.
>>152135623it's bizarre that they consistently put out rankings that are so similar to the BCS then
>>152135686another incorrect post in a line of many. they have vastly superior net success and scoring margin if you just look at their respective best opponents.
>>152135105That's how I've always seen it>take AP rankings>tweak a bit so it's not obvious or do dumb shit for shits and giggles because it's all meaningless until the final one>final one, really buckle down by looking into what teams will net the most money and adjust accordingly
>>152135774well no, they are specifically looking at the BCS (or something nearly identical).
BYUHas a nattyOregon Does notWhy so the quacks funded by filipino sweatshops think they are anything?
>>152135803Dyer was down.
Now a word from an impartial local newscaster.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY0KNV7YmsY
>>152135385Bruh, Oregon has padded its margins against awful opponents. BYU showed it could go and blow out a team like TCU who is better than a Minnesota, Wisconsin, or Rutgers. BYU had the misfortune of playing an Arizona team that is better than people thought early in the season, and only won on a thin margin. Meanwhile Oregon barely skirted by Iowa. If Oregon beats Washington, it’s a non-issue because I agree they beat out BYU just ever so slightly on most metrics, but you add another loss to a decent but hardly great team like Washington on their resume, and they don’t have the gas to sustain that argument.
>>152135753>talent composite>success rate>rank of opponents' opponents ISHYGDDT
Missouri fans seem completely unfazed by the talk of other schools having Drink as their second choice as their new head coach.
>>152135866nope >>152135753
>>152135753>talent composite
>>152135866COPE AND SEETHE
>>152135931probably because he's 1-9 vs Top 10 and Mizzou would be fools to get in anyone's way of snagging such a catch
>>152135924Should the nfl adopt this ranking system? The team with the best talent and most 50 burgers should get a bye
>>152135969>>152135952>>152135924samefag? or are multiple low IQ posters actually getting filtered by SOS metrics that look at both opponent performance & potential?
>>152135969Yes but it should also include Tickets Sold Above Expected and Net Instagram Engagement Composite
>>152135989>potentialHE JUST KEEPS DIGGING
>>152136008why do you keep ignoring the performance part?
>>152136010Performance is the only thing that matters. It's measured by the final score. You're the one who keeps throwing in "potential" and "expected" and "talent composite".
>>152135715Because the BCS ranking was already a pretty sensible blueprint, and the human poll + computers already tend to coalesce around a single point as seasons wear on. Texas Tech having a radically different ranking from the committee vs the BCS is what shows why the committee should exist. With context, their one loss was on the road without their starting QB, vs a team that specifically kept out their QB the previous week so they could play this game, and that team is STILL alive in the conference race despite starting Jeff Sims for the past 3 games.
>>152136049whoops you're getting confused in assessing game quality and opponent quality. you're saying that navy & JMU are among the highest SOS opponents in the country because they have tons of wins? otherwise you need to re-think what you just posted.
>>152136062And you're saying LSU, Clemson, and Pedo St should count as top 10 wins because muh croots
>>152136080no, i didn't say that. also, hence me including actual performance metrics in SOS alongside talent (a strong predictor) and power rankings (the best predictor). you're fabricating shit because you're confused.
who gets the #12 cuckchair between Utah or Vandy?
Why do coaches not understand the most important part of making the playoffs is croot score and hypothetical wins?
>You're firing me after I hypothetically won every game?
>>152135989>SOS metrics that look at both opponent performanceFair>& potentiallolLook. All Oregon has to do is beat Washington next week. That’s it. If they win, they’re in without any controversy. But if you’re gonna tell me that Oregon is allowed to play a schedule without any stakes and get in to the playoffs just because they blew out teams like Rutgers, you can suck my dick. BYU already won its rivalry game vs a team that would love nothing better than to spoil their season, now how about Oregon have the decency to beat a lowly Washington team that isn’t fit to hold Utah’s jockstrap this year. Thats it.
>>152136169>let me just lol at this thing that is a proven strong predictor of results and utilized by people who know more than me with strong financial incentivesyou also keep posting the same thing over and over and keep ignoring the info that's been presented that contradicts what you keep saying.
>>152136169BYU GOT EMBARRASSED BY TEXAS TECHITS JOEVERNO AMOUNT OF MAGIC UNDERWEAR OR EXTRA WIVES IS GETTING THEM TO THE BIG DANCE
>>152136198We aren’t playing hypothetical football here. We’re playing games on the field. College football has never and will never give a shit about the probability of outcomes in crowning champions, only the actual outcome. Beat Washington or Oregon doesn’t deserve to be in the playoffs. You got buttfucked by Indiana in your own stadium, it’s already a luxury that either Oregon or BYU is allowed to keep competing after being humiliated by superior opponents, neither team is gonna win a ship this year, so just beat Washington or you can’t complain because you aren’t winning a championship anyway.
>>152136293Imagine being in a conference with Mormons. Couldn’t be me.
>>152136295i didn't suggest we were playing hypothetical football. Nonetheless, beating florida is more impressive than beating Virginia.
>leave the million dollar head coach alone
>>152136377I agree, but beating Utah is more impressive than beating USC by practically every metric.
>>152136405>i agree with this statement that's completely incompatible with the argument I just tried to makelmao
>>152135715The recreated BCS rankings have been poisoned by the nature of the formula.The standard they use when making a recreated bcs is 1/3 AP, this would have been Harris poll in the final bcs formula1/3 Coaches1/3 ComputersAP Voters and the voting Coaches, are human. They are inherently influenced by other ranking. Everyone one of them will have seen what the committee puts out the week before. This is why the most important CFP ranking is the first one. It sets the remainder of the season and the human 2/3rds of the BCS formula are going to align with it somewhat closely.
>>152136442it's the harris poll, not the AP. Also the first CFP Rating reflected the BCS to being with. Though overall I agree that they just wind up having most of the same bias.
>>152136462Harris interactive isn't done anymore, it hasn't been done since the BCS folded.
>>152136390Tennessee and Nebraska are fundamentally destined for mediocrity, and their fans know it. It’s why Nebraska brags about its sell out streak, and Tennessee brags about the capacity of its stadium. 99% of both teams fans are naive boomer that think all they gotta do is attend as many games as possible, and the karma of the universe will eventually pay them back.
>>152136419Then you agree Oregon hasn’t beat anybody and doesn’t deserve a playoff spot if they lose to Washington.
>>152136490nope, that would be retarded. But i appreciate you acknowledging that you contradicted yourself like a dumbass then tried to deflect.

>>152137268they will be strapped into clockwork orange eyeball stretchers and forced to read posts in favor of a pro/rel super league
The only teams that take a loss this week and still comfortably make the playoffs are Ohio St, Indiana, A&M, and Georgia. Indiana losing to Purdue would be extremely bizzare, but their resume is already so good at this point that it wouldn’t matter except for seeding. Oregon, Ole Miss, and Texas Tech should not be classified as locks, nor should certainly not any of the 2 loss teams.
Most hilarious CFB ending. Kiffin leaves Ole Miss for whoever after Egg Bowl and Ole Miss goes on to be National Champs and pretty much shuts him out doesn't recognize him for any of it and doesn't even give him a ring. The he goes on to underperform at whatever school he goes to. Don't think it will happen. Don't think they can win if he was the coach, but would be pretty funny.
>>152137338Let's make it extra funny and higher coach O as the interim
>>152137231Notre Dame has a similarly flimsy resume as a 2-loss Oregon, except if the committee was asked to omit one of those 2, Oregon is fucked lol.
>>152137338Ole Piss isn’t winning a natty with or without Kiffin. Babby schedule feasting off unimpressive wins. Congrats you beat OU in Norman, but you also gave them more points than anybody except Tennessee, Temple, and Illinois St.
>>152137338The fix is in. Lame is going to sandbag the game and lose to Pississipi so Old Piss misses the playoffs. Why? Because Lame feels Old Piss crossed him and he is an assssshole. Hey BYU guy there would be a spot for your school! However Vandy would just hop over BYU and take it instead haha
>>152137338>Don't think it will happen. Don't think they can win if he was the coach>>152137535>Ole Piss isn’t winning a natty with or without Kiffin.Oh wow. We agree then!
*mogs you*
>>152137555>Pississipi so Old Piss You think those are 2 different schools?
>>152136472>Nebraska are fundamentally destined for mediocrityNebraska could turn the ship around if they joined the BigXII or the SEC.They need to regularly play Texas schools to get easy access to croots in Texas.Joining the B1G, thus cutting itself off the Texas recruiting pipeline, was the absolute worst thing Nebraska could have done to its football program.
>>152137690They should join the Big12. They would instantly be one of the top programs. Could easily see them being the third best team. Texas Tech, Utah, Nebraska, then... maybe ASU?
>>152137690You say this like Nebraska wasn’t also a pushover in the Big 12. Their best feat after the 90s was almost beating Texas in a CCG once.

Other than Ralph Russo and Stephen Means, the AP is full of biased idiots.The only true metric is HEAD-TO-HEAD, and Miami beat ND.In no sane world, especially since neither team has had any significant injuries, should ND be ahead. IDGAF about Miami, but I certainly get tired, just like nearly everyone else, of listening to ND fans bellow only to get blown out by the likes of Ohio State.Also, this shit about making the playoffs even bigger is about only one thing. Money.
>>152139079>>152139247Huskies really need to shore up their defense during the offseason. 7 of their games this year were decided by 1 score. 3 of those 7 were losses

>>152139953There’s something incredibly ironic about the fact that Nebraska and A&M left the Big 12 believing that all they needed to do to become great again was separate themselves from Texas. Meanwhile A&M has only had an amazing season after reuniting with Texas, while Nebraska is more irrelevant than ever. Texas Tech is the only school that has actually benefited from severing itself from the longhorns.
>>152140382Same thing happened to Nebraska that would happen to any other "blue-blood". They joined the B1G and got their shit knocked in.
>>152140109This is perfect example of why the playoffs do not need expanded. There's not one team outside of the Top 8 who are legit this year.
>>152140409Oregon has been stomping the B1G bro.

College basketball sucks compared to the pros but watching a good team in good seats will always be kino
>>152141120I think it matters more than a national championship because by next season nobody cares who won the national championship, but living in northern Ohio, I'm forced to live around way too many Michigan fans. The day of: natty matters more. Rest of the year: the game matters more. Either way I think Moore will be the HC next season regardless.

I still think it matters, and it's also not gonna be the end of the world if we lose, because we embarrassed you last year with the worst Michigan team ever fielded. I hope you bought the natty shirt with no scores on the back

>>152143164North Texas has the same problem as Houston but even worse. On paper, both programs seem like they should have a bunch of potential. They have the 3rd and 4th highest enrollments in the state of Texas (More than Texas Tech in fact) + they’re located in the 2 largest cities in Texas just a stone’s throat away from some of the best high school recruits in the nation. In spite of that though, they’ve routinely struggled to sell out their games even during times when they’re good due to their status as commuter schools. Most people that attend UNT and UH typically just go there for 2 years with the goal of transferring to one of the other universities in the state, and never develop any kind of loyalty to the sports program. Houston miraculously managed to overcome this problem with their basketball team which actually does receive quite a bit of support from the city, but football support remains an issue for them.
>>152143473cUNT will always be overshadowed by the other metroplex schools and ut/tamu/ou/Cowboys. It's unfortunate because Mean Green is a kino moniker and their winged helmets mog pooregon
tOSU -9.5 is the freest money you will ever find. Bettors are still traumatized by last year’s game, but it’s a completely different situation this year. tOSU has been holding out some of its key players specifically so they’d be ready for this game, and Michigan’s defense isn’t nearly the same animal it was last year. That was a team that was way better than its record showed that got hot at the right time, while this year’s Michigan team basically traded an elite defense just to be average on both sides of the ball, but no unit to hang their hats on.

>>152143297It’s not just any Jordan Hare game. It’s a night game. Bama hasn’t faced one in years.
ohio fans are STILL pissing and shitting over losing to michigan yet AGAIN
>>152143725very bold
>>152143510The issue is not merely that they’re overshadowed by UT/TAMU/OU in Dallas, or even the 2 private schools. The much worse problem Id argue is that TTU also has a much bigger chunk of the mindshare in that city, and that’s really the niche that UNT would optimistically want to fill.
>>152143964TTU is spiritually a New Mexico college but that actually works for them because they're the only game in town west of Abilene
>>152143790>losing to AuburnNo
>>152143790DeBoer’s job is safe. Bama wouldn’t fire him in year 2 for barely missing the playoffs. Next year though is where things get dicey if he fails to make the playoffs again.
>>152144034>6 losses, will have 7, in just two years >
>>152120395Question here, from what I can gather - The only reason people didn't like the BCS model was it didn't really give smaller teams with lesser talent a chance, correct? It would always favor good teams with elite talent, even if said team had bad loss? I don't really think that sounds worse than 'the committee'.
>>152144058The only way DeBoer was getting fired this year was if Bama actually got worse, but even in the worst case for this season, he’s kept the ship stable. He’ll get at least 3, possibly even 4 years before Bama would seriously consider firing him if he continues to show the same results.
>>152141731What does TTUN mean? That Twat University up North?
>>152144007Auburn is better than their record. They got ref balled against Jawja and OU. That Arnold touchdown and the "clap." I could totally see Deboer underestimating Auburn and getting FSU'ed again. They have kept all their games close. UPSET ALERT! >>152144179Losing one game and you were out pretty much. Even playing a close game against a chump would get your team would get side eyed. BCS national championship this year would be aOSU/Indiana v AtM/Jawja/Old... piss (if undefeated or 1 loss). If the SEC champ has two losses it could really be aOSU v Indiana again, fun huh?
>>152144262Them Tiddies Unapologetically Nice
>>152144179The BCS model factoring in talent composite rankings as a part of its formula will never not be a completely horseshit concept. No other sport on Earth goes “hmm well team A scored more points, but team B has faster stronger negros so team B wins”
>>152144295you're pretending that the BCS was used primarily to rank teams that played one another, which is incorrect. Also, it didn't use talent composite rankings, though some form of roster strength definitely informs power rating models like sagarin.
>>152144179it wasn't the BCS so much as the 2-team field when it's nearly impossible to compare teams across different confrerences with wild schedule imbalances.
>>152144295CFB will always have a problem with the debate of 'on field performance' vs. 'talent on paper'. The BCS system isn't perfect but it would lead to better playoff games overall. Just depends on if you want a 'good story' team making it over a 'probably better' team making it. Best example of recent memory was TCU being in over Alabama in 2022 I think. Obviously that Alabama team was better than TCU, everyone knew it but they let TCU in anyway. We had the mid0off of the century in Michigan vs. TCU, then TCU got bootyblasted so hard by Georgia and in such embarrassing fashion that it led to the creation of the 12 team playoff.
>>152143202Wonder if Memphis's window of opportunity has passed. The founder of FedEx was willing to be their Phil Knight but only if they were in a P5 conference. That invite never happened, likely because conferences want to see the upgrades first instead of membership first and then fulfillment of upgrades.The Fred Smith died in 2022 and FedEx is now run by a poo who has no interest in Memphis athletics. He's more likely to give money to a cricket team back in his home country than to invest in Memphis.
Is USC the KWAB school of the last few years? Has comfy travel in mostly the same time zone for games, considered one of the top teams in the pac12, easily the most storied, incredible recruiting pool with not much competition, only Oregon and Utah with a few upstarts every now and then in the way. Gets mad (rightfully so to an extent) destroys the pACK-12. Has to travel all across the country, still has to get their ass beat by Oregon, but now Ohio State, Indiana, and Michigan when they rebuild. Also have to play in horrible weather vs Iowa and over flyovers during the year. Treated like a 2nd class program by the conference. Was it worth it?
>>152144610it wasn't. they need to use the PE debacle to break away and form a blueblood alliance with Michigan and ND
>>152143297Jordan-Hare voodoo is shy and hates being taken for granted. People treating it like a wage slave to do their bidding are likely going to be very disappointed.
>>152144610>still has to get their ass beat by Oregon, but now Ohio State, Indiana, and Michigan when they rebuildThey haven't played Indiana since joining the conference, and they beat Michigan like a drum this year. Generally speaking, I think the addition of west coast teams to the Big 10 has been a disaster for literally everyone except those that carry the money bags, and naturally, no one else matters.
>>152143202>Memphis>potential to be a G5 powerhouse
>>152141731>I hope you bought the natty shirt with no scores on the backAnd I hope you bought your natty shirt with a giant asterisk next to "National Champions."
>>152141690>>Ohio State fans want to act like the game doesn't even matter anymore,I fucking hate both of these schools, but it is abundantly clear that this game matters MUCH more to Michifags than bucknuts.
>>152144610Oklahoma State is worse>whale donor dies right before NIL takes off>buck break your own long time coach>big brother rivals all leave without you>left behind in a conference now being run by schools that were in the WAC or CUSA when you hired your last coach>see TX Tech throw some money out and immediately rocket to the top>stuck trying to hire a coach in a cycle where you might not be a top 10 job opening
I think that Kalen DeBoer should become the next head coach of James Madison

>>152143164>>152144586>>152143202Will memepiss grow to meet the bill? Not if they keep losing to navy every year, or some other shitter school in the aac. Even when they were pretty good under Fuentes and made a NY6 bowl under Norvell they did this, they lost to temple that year. With fred smith gone, they have likely lost their window. Being a basketball school that's bad at basketball certainly didn't help their case for making the big 12. They've won one game in the tournament over the last 10 years, despite having NBA talent. Once the grizzlies inevitably go to Nashville the city may be fucked.
Further evidence that the cuckhorns are a pagan fertility cult.
>>152145113Of course he’s gone, if he was staying he would just sign the extension and remove any uncertainty with recruits
>>152146694While I agree he's gone, Lane is an attention whoring troll. It wouldn't be the first time he's done something for attention that ultimately was self destructive.
Thanksgiving week was always so comfy back in school. Nothing to do, just game and watch football.
I've never watched 'Rudy' and from the previews, it really doesn't seem to be much of anything. Just a "make a wish" kid but without the cancer. Why is it so beloved?

Hopefully ESPN gives Joe some more material to talk about than they did last year.>>152147495The most amount of movement that may happen is moving Oregon up one place since they beat USC in a convincing fashion. Utah might change places with Miami since they almost lost.
>>152148133Sounds like a movie about brown people feeling entitled to white societies just because they really REALLY want that access.>But he's whiteThat's how propaganda works.
>>152148438>moving Oregon up one place nah. Ole Piss's win @ Norman still mogs pooregon's quality loss to Indiana.
Michigan will gain 2-3 spots. This allows them jump into the playoff with a win and to protect Ohio State even more in case they lose.

>>152149487LSU is getting strung along just like they were when they thought they were getting Lincoln Riley only for USC to come out of nowhere.

>>152139630>>152143093>>the only true metric is HEAD-TO-HEAD>so bama has to be ahead of Georgia, Florida State has to be ahead of Bama, Miami has to be ahead of Florida State, and SMU has to be ahead of Miami?NTA but yes. All other factors are biased and/or weighted. Only win/loss -v- opponent is true.This doesnt mean you don't use the others, i.e. when Appalachian State beat Michigan, but those things are outliers and should only come into play when other factors are more/less equal. All of the other factors in Notre Dame and Miami's season have less weight than their head to head match.

They also used to put an "X" on the "M" in Michigan, i.e. Xichigan.Since the cheating the TTUN has changed to TCUN>Those Cheaters Up NorthAnd the "X" has been replaced with an asterisk "*" i.e. *ichiganUsed to always seemed goofy to me, USC fans, but the change is appropriate.
Eric Morris, North Texas head coach, hired by Oklahoma State. Morris will remain to coach UNT the remainder of the season and any postseason games the teams makes.
>>152149756I bet they lose this week because of the distraction.
>>152149473Maybe the most overhyped coach I can remember. Chip Kelly was kind of like that back in the day, but not on the level of Kiffin.
>>152149756I'm sure that is playoffs only. No way he's hanging around to coach in the Fingering Butthole Bowl presented by Gronk or wherever they go.
>>152149828Jimmy Sexton probably hired an army of social media shills to promote him
>>152144179From what I read people actually like the BCS rankings as much or more than the committee. Neither of them are perfect but the committee choices seem slightly more jewish.
The soon-to-be slayer of Texas A&M
>>152149952There was an attempt to meme
>>152149952If he played the entire season like he played the last few games (including loss to Georgia where he did play well) I wonder how large the hype would be.
>>152149842They need to lock his ass out as soon as they find out they’re not making a title game or the playoff. He’s just going to recruit their current players to OK State.
>>152149952Nah
>>152149756fantastic hire. if mestemaker, hawkins and young come too i might just become an oklahoma state bandwagoner. but either way, this is a slam dunk
>>152148938>UMass getting killed againYou’re right, this sucks. At least there’s another game starting soon
Oh how lovely, the rankings show getting preempted by another apehoop game. An ESPN tradition.
>>152150100fuckin racist piece of shit
>>152150100By the time the game is over, there won't be time for the rankings and they'll have to air the next basketball game. Whoever is in charge of scheduling at ESPN needs to be fired.
