Official 2022 college football thread: its conference realignment season. (1 Viewer)

Michigan D is stout.

Wouldnt go that far, but its not the drop off i was expecting. Last week showed that they can still make "rookie" mistakes. They played well in that game (biggest challenge so far) but gave up too many big plays on missed assignments etc.

Im more concerned about the offense and play calling

 

[Leroy Hoard]

If Iowa had a QB they would be dangerous.

 

[Insein]

Iowa RT is a turn style all of a sudden.

Seen a lot of people picking Arkansas today so Bama probably wins by 30

Underrated place to play. It’s a good matchup for Bama though…Ark has a bad pass d and relies on the run offensively.

Never thought I would say this but there is a cute ref in the Michigan/Iowa game.

How old is he?

For fans tuning into @UHCougarFB vs. Tulane (6 p.m. CT kickoff): @espn will cut into tonight’s coverage for live look-ins to at-bats for Aaron Judge, who is in pursuit of breaking Roger Maris’s single-season AL home run record.

I like it even though I know it's sacrilegious to go split screen with the historic "4th Friday in September" Tulane vs Houston game. I would like to see Judge hit it live, but would rather not watch the whole MLB game.

It’s not like there’s an entire network dedicated to baseball or anything. MLB Network shows games most every day.

Last night they showed the meaningless Yankees/Orioles Judge walk-fest instead of, you know, the first game of a division-deciding series featuring two of the best pitchers in the game. Not that I'm bitter and despise everything Yankees or anything. MLB network can go screw themselves.

Yuck the ...

So for you age is the main thing here?

Man, OU and Texas in the SEC has potential to be Nebraska-like.

Bryce hurt = Bama’s hopes done

Arkansas may be the ceiling. They at least try.

 

[Tom Servo]

My alma mater Grove City College defeats Case Western Reserve 14-13 for their first win over the Spartans since 2006 . The win puts them back in contention for the conference title.

They will have to go to their backup 5* QB.

I think I speak for most of us in this thread in offering our prayers of support in your time of need. Is there a GoFundMe page set up?

Stay strong, gump.

 

[The Commish]

Why did FSU go for 2 there?

 

[Moe.]

Just depends on whether or not they have the right coaches in place, seems like that’s pretty much all that matters. Obviously that’s TBD with Venables and Sark. aTm and Mizzou were just fine.

[Long Ball Larry]

What is happening in this Bryce young Dr Pepper commercial? Bryce comes over to your house and ****s your mom? That makes me want to drink Dr Pepper?

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Why did FSU go for 2 there?

Because now they are within 7? And if they missed they would know what they needed to do the rest of the game. Pretty standard strategy at that point in the game.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

What is the capacity of the Kansas stadium? 12?

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Thanks for trying arky

 

[General Malaise]

Only four more hours until the Oregon game! I'm going to need methamphetamines to stay up for this one. Gawd....

 

[Orange&Blue]

Aggies trying to remain relevant

What is the capacity of the Kansas stadium? 12?

I think a little under 40k

I asked that question a score or two prior to the one you responded to.

And now they are all storming the field after beating unrankrd Iowa state…

Ah what the hell, 5-0 is something to celebrate in Lawrence

I doubt they have success. Probably Auburn level is more realistic. OU doesn't seem to have the NIL thing warming up and the coaching situation isn't ideal either. It's just so hard to get momentum in the sec. And the sheer number of teams is just making the math hard. Odds are in any year one of the sixteen? Schools will simply be better and one will be better on a given Saturday.

The move just doesn't make sense.

It’s a money thing.

 

[Capella]

FSU lost but so did Jimbo. That contract will always be the funniest thing in the world to me.

 

[Capella]

aTm and Mizzou were just fine.

I’m sorry what

 

[Capella]

Mizzou is a 31 point underdog tonight

 

[Witz]

Syracuse/Wagner agreed to 10 minute quarters in the second half. Haven’t seen that before.

Got sucked in by LT and Winston led hype. The money means nothing to that school. It's a bunch of top. 1% that don't want a yacht.

Why?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Syracuse/Wagner agreed to 10 minute quarters in the second half. Haven’t seen that before.

Why?

They were 10 point favorites with a total of 42. Sounds like they were rated just about right.

 

[Witz]

Syracuse/Wagner agreed to 10 minute quarters in the second half. Haven’t seen that before.

Why?

Syracuse was up 49-0 at the half so I’m assuming they just wanted to get it over as quick as possible.

 

[Orange&Blue]

NCST and Clemson looks like a good game.

 

[gump]

Jamyr Gibbs will be the Portal MVP.

 

[Tom Servo]

Syracuse/Wagner agreed to 10 minute quarters in the second half. Haven’t seen that before.

I just learned that as long as both coaches and the referee agree to it, you can do it. Running clock is a no-no though.

 

[Moe.]

I feel like we did this a few years back. aTm’s conference winning percentage is higher in the SEC than it was in the Big 12. Missouri made the SEC Championship 2 of their first 3 years in the conference, same number of times they made it in the Big 12. I think their record is a tad worse overall but for the most part they’ve maintained their level.

So you were trolling by saying Arkansas is the ceiling - got it. Appreciate your real thoughts and they aren’t without merit. The whole thing is a bubble and when it pops hopefully we can get back to regional alignments that make sense with an expanded playoff.
