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

You're telling me it's better to have a ton of guys get re-recruited every offseason?

Yea I think it’s great. If you want to keep your stars then pay up.

Which portal guys are stars. Name them.

It's a bunch of depth chart blocked guys that peaked in high school imo.

This seems like exactly the kind of kid who should be allowed to move freely. Went to a school to play football; isn't playing football and wants to move somewhere else. Whether he's moving to get a better opportunity to play, or some other personal reason - should be no restrictions or penalties imo.

Right. But the definition of star here is broken. If a guy isn't getting playing time then it isn't a star. The fact they go on to get some at other places and have success is irrelevant.

So far we aren't seeing guys move that have no playing time issues at their current spot.

Both of South Carolina's leading rushers went to the portal after the season. One (Bell) is more of a TE that was forced into that role when the other (Lloyd) got injured. Both were featured players who I expect to see play on Sundays, yet still hit the portal.

They aren’t a star to you. The coaches know who can play.

If the bar of this portal working is when those happy with their starting jobs are transferring there's not a whole lot to discuss as the very existence of the portal and who it services is fundamentally misunderstood.

Arkansas vs Kansas pretty crazy. I switched games when KU was down 3 scores.

 

[Desert_Power]

I thought we were done seeing football in baseball stadiums when the Raiders moved, but apparently this bowl is being played in one. At least they covered up the infield (mostly)

I cannot believe that decision to put the ball in that guy's hands in that 3rd OT. Not only could he have run it in — and should’ve have, he doesn’t throw ****ing passes and the receiver wasn’t open — but the pass was not even in the same area code. Bizarre. The decision to put the game in a guy like that’s hands is baffling. You had a RED HOT QB, who can also run, and took the ball out of his hands. Holy cow was that dumb, on so many levels.

Better team won but they also shouldn't have let them back in.

Very entertaining!

That was the backup QB who played half the season when Daniels got hurt. So he is used to throwing the ball.

That being said I agree with you 100%.

So did the refs apparently. Had to be one of the all-time worst fumble calls in the post-review area. No idea how someone could watch that review and say fumble.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Aaaand just as bad in the Texas Tech game, on a big play again. Refs really making it hard to watch these bowl games.

 

[gump]

@facook - looks like Oklahoma is missing 4-5 starters, FSU none. Line has moved a few points though already, FSU -9.5?

 

[facook]

Yeah I played it -7 at the open but I'd still lay the -9.5. Same with Minnesota in this game about to start.

 

[Beef Ravioli Part 2]

Classy move by Texas Tech and Ole Miss.

OU vs FSU a little chippy early. An OU buddy and his wife (from Nebraska ) are there. Sounds like a good crowd so far.

 

[TakiToki]

Plenty of time for this to age terribly, but no matter the circumstances, OU just always beats Florida State.

Peyton Bowen going to transfer to FSU now?

Sorry dude. Bad day.

Pray UCLA fares better.

 

[Capella]

Good win for FSU. Getting back to 10 wins after the hell Dumbo and Willie put them through feels like a reset. Could be a sneaky contender for a playoff spot next year.

Definitely a "buy" team for next year with Travis coming back. Tons of talent.

Maybe Bo Nix and JT can meet up in the playoffs and give us some nice memory vibes.

I would love that ha

Xavier Worthy has regressed big time. He’s making Ewers look bad only a few weeks away from Manning stepping on campus.

 

[Harry Frogfish]

I feel bad for Texas getting their butt kicked by Washington? Who was favored in that game???

I mean, it wasn't even close, if you actually watched it. I was hoping for more from Texas.

Pretty-much an ***-kicking, besides the penalties and some extra yards at the end there.

Game wasn't close.


PENIX is legit.

I backed off FSU some when it went to -10 and won it back on UW…but go Bruins! I got them -4...now up to -8!

Winners prefer having Cheez-its dumped on them as opposed to mayo.

If Maryland wins today, they better have a whole lot of mayo in Charlotte. Mike Locksley is not a small man.

Go Pokes!!!!

 

[Harry Frogfish]

Go Pokes!!!!

I just went to bet this game. Oops. Maybe what's their face ties it up or even goes ahead and we can bet it, in-game.

I don't even care who they are playing, they should wear them down.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Go Pokes!!!!

Where is this game shown? I have Notre Dame on one TV and I feel dirty.

I looked all over and I’m not sure it’s being broadcasted (other than local). Usually I can find all their games, but the Arizona Bowl? Nada.

Barstool.TV only. Streamed online. Pretty entertaining broadcast.

Is Spencer Rattler.......good? Seems like he has rehabilitated his draft stock the last 2 months.

@Jayded just died a little.

 

[Jayded]

Man Rees calling a pass there is pure Wilson/Lynch level dumb. Hope he has a home in Duval as he’ll hopefully be left on the tarmac

 

[strykerpks]

Wisconsin just out there hoarding quarterbacks.

 

[NutterButter]

Buchner has 5 passing tds (2 of them to the other team) and 2 rushing tds? Gator bowl record?

Personal foul for falling down? Must have been later

 

[Jayded]

Well that was close but man ND’s OL played terrible today. All 5 starters played, including 1 All American, and they sure didn’t look like it.

Still dislike Rees’ offensive philosophy greatly and hope he moves on this offseason.

They did a good job of not getting flagged for all the holding penalties they committed.
