2021 College football thread - Auburn’s gotta Auburn. (1 Viewer)

Only Clemson and even then I'm hesitant to say they are a great team. Don't get me wrong they've beaten some good programs in the BCS Playoffs but I question if their conference schedule overall is more of a product of them being great

You are conflating great current teams with great programs. Nobody looking to expand/add or whatever cares about what FSU did in 2019. They undoubtedly add to the brand. Miami likely does too.

I mentioned how FSU and MIA were trying to get in the SEC so if that happens whos left in the ACC. He responded with only good teams. Thats where my Clemson comment you are quoting came in. Without FSU and UM what does the ACC have football wise to offer in Expansion?

I don't even know what this means anymore. Does the NCAA even have rules/enforce them still?

Only when it matters to them. I said when the Winston stuff at FSU happened leave it about 10-20 yrs and we'll get an investigation how fSU tampered in the case. Similar to how NCAA probably knew about Sandusky and PSU and the Ohio State stuff but didn't do a dam to years later because said programs were bringing in huge money for those schools and NCAA at the time.

oh I misread. If FSU and Miami go to the sec, Clemson is obviously going with them. That’s a no-brainer.

That was my point if rumors are true about FSU and MIA going to the SEC where does that leave the ACC. And I'm not sure the SEC would take Clemson unless they really want to market the SCAR rivalry and Clemson doesn't have the historical prestige outside the last decade as many of the others do

"all that cheating"  :lmao:   I was hoping it was something a little more egregious so I knew they were at least trying.

I hear the penalty will be a retroactive bowl ban... Oh wait.

Thats like Banning Atlanta Braves fans from the stadium 

 
@Tom Servo Love the thread title.  If the football team had to play on a random Tuesday morning in the middle of August to be 1st at something I would take it.  :lmao:  

But seriously, Nebraska is like the Alabama of women's bowling.  So we have that going for us.  Which is nice?  :shrug:

I bought a ticket on Friday to the Nebraska vs. Oklahoma game on Sept. 18.  I feel like I should hedge and put some money on Illinois in the opener to make up for the ticket value I will lose when they beat us.  :oldunsure:  

 
Haven't heard much big12 news.  Everyone I know that cheers for a 2nd tier big 12 school is planning on this being the last year they are relevant.  

There are not really great solutions available and no even crappy ones. 

 
The best teams of the non-power 5 (4 now) should get together and form something with the best remaining teams from the Big12.  Ship Kansas to the Pac12 for basketball and Iowa State to Big10 to give Ohio State another tougher obstacle since Michigan can't seem to do that anymore.

UCF
Boise St.
BYU
Memphis
SMU
WVU
Baylor
TCU
OK St
Kansas St
Texas Tech

Maybe Houston too, I dunno.  Might delete later.

yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

 
@MBakerTBTimes: No signed contract in the alliance. It's a gentleman's agreement. Which is great, because college athletics always honors those

So when Texas/OU leaves, how do the powers that be notify the XII they aren't a power 5 conference anymore?  Fax?

Dear Big 12,

Its not you; it’s us. 
Sincerely,

B1G, ACC, PAC-12 & SEC

P.S. Delete our number from your phone. 

 
So let me get this straight, the SEC grabs TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA, and the other conferences respond with… a non-binding scheduling alliance that can’t begin until like 2037? Do I have this correct?

 
As a WVU fan, the silver lining with impending irrelevance is that the ticket prices should drop to something reasonable. Maybe I will be able to afford to take my kids to a game for the first time since 2012.

So this was a tweet, but I also can't get the link to paste. Weird.

UCLA vs Hawaii this Saturday. Under Chip Kelly the Bruins have yet to win against a non conference opponent, which is really embarrassing. That should end Saturday, you would think…but who knows? 
Anyhow UCLA had better win because LSU is next…

UCLA -18 so you'd hope that the wise men agree but Chip's squads have been hard to predict.  Total is 68 and might play that for funsies.  He's got a stud QB to play with.

Fresno St. favored by 27.5 vs UCONN. 

The following week Oregon favored by 21 over Fresno St.  I see this Randy Edsall 2.0 experiment is going along swimmingly.

It was a joke - come on man.

 
A couple of Game Day guys are picking Georgia to win the natty.

Don't they realize the Bulldogs always manage to find a way to trip over the 50 yard line?

 
Frost survive or fired this week after this ### whipping by Illinois?

ETA: as Martinez trots for a 70 yard TD go close the gap to 14

While @WDIK2 could probably answer this the best, my suspicion is that since he's an alum and had success as a QB there, he has a long leash.  The only way I could see him being broken off is if they turn in a 1-11 or 2-10 stinker.

 
Dear Cornhusker Nation,

This is what you get for running every coach out of town for failing to be Tom Osborne.

Enjoy your diminished returns.
