Hmmm.? Objectively, Penn State should win. Iowa, could happen, but the Huskies? Can't do it.

I'm tired of the narrative that adding one extra conference game would get SEC coaches fired. What? You expect me to believe Lane Kiffin, Shane Beamer, Sam Pittman, Eli Drinkowitz, or Billy Napier would be fired because of one extra loss a year? Especially if more teams get playoff spots? That's a bull crap excuse and anybody with a brain capable of any deductive reasoning would see that. Beating LSU and Ole Miss saved Napier(that and DJ Lagway). The nerve of this guy saying Pettiti is a pariah and not good at math or common sense because he is holding Sankey accountable for an agreement they had for the B1G to go with the SEC preferred playoff format as long as the SEC goes to 9 conference games, before backing out because SEC coaches said it was impossible. It's bull, and Alabama, Miss State, Ole Miss, and most SEC teams need the money more than the bigger and more prestigious B1G institutions. "The SEC..It just means more!!" More whining and complaining? The best coaches and players on the best programs are scared of one extra game? If it was my coach saying that while making millions,I would fire him for that alone. Texas, Florida, Georgia, Texas A&M, and I think Tennessee are the only SEC institutions with the academic prestige and donor list to keep up. The SEC relies on football to pay its bills. The B1G is a much better run and well financed league. I'm kind of embarrassed how uneducated some of these guys are. The guy in the video isn't dumb, he's just brainwashed. Please hold the line. I want my fellow SEC fans to wake up from the propaganda. It will give us more great games.

This is what SMU Coach Lashlee said. Of course, PAWL ranted and raved, deflected the point by bringing up the past about SMU. A fascinating thought. USC-Carroll was pretty hot. But I don't think any team from the west coast would generate the heat an SEC team does. "They do want it more" USC alone splits the local attention with UCLA, the Rams, the Chargers, the Dodgers Lakers, Clippers, the beaches. Alabama?

Starting to ease into the previews; but, taking an early look I think the B1G is in for a very competitive year, with a lot of teams beating each other up. I do see as many as 11 teams who could be pretty decent and win at least 8 in the regular season. I'm thinking maybe the conference champion at 10-2, which means about 5 teams at 9-3 and another 5 at 8-4. A real wild and competitive roller coaster (with a strong OOC for the B1G, I think the math works). Not much of a gambler, but grabbed some win totals from one of the major books. Penn State 10.5 tOSU 10.5 UO 10.5 Michigan 9.5 Illinois 8.5 Indiana 8.5 Iowa 7.5 Nebraska 7.5 USC 7.5 UW 7.5 Minnesota 6.5 Wisconsin 5.5 Rutgers 5.5 UCLA 5.5 Michigan State 5.5 Maryland 4.5 Northwestern 3.5 Purdue 3.5 I am thinking I would take the UNDER for all four of the top predicted teams: Penn State, tOSU, Oregon, and Michigan. I would also add the UNDER for: UCLA and Purdue. The only OVERS that jump out are: Minnesota, Iowa, and maybe Northwestern. The other 9 teams I'd say look about right on the number. I could see something like: Penn State (10-2), Oregon (9-3), tOSU (9-3), Illinois (9-3), Indiana (9-3), Iowa (9-3). Who goes and who misses the playoff? ( For example: Penn State loses at Iowa and at Ohio State -- tOSU loses to Texas, at Michigan, and at UW or to Minnesota -- Oregon loses at Penn State, at Iowa, and at UW -- Iowa loses to Minnesota, at USC, and to end the regular season at Nebraska or early at Iowa State -- Indiana loses at Penn State, at Oregon, and at Iowa -- Illinois loses at Indiana, to USC, and to tOSU)

I think the SEC gets into lala land because the rest of the league see themselves as being Alabama’s equal the last 10 years. They aren’t. Alabama was an absolute freak show. If Alabama and USC (west coast USC) swapped their history over the last decade, how different would the narrative be?

I know everybody gives Bama grief about their soft non-conference schedule, but they always schedule a FBS team out of conference. In the past 10 seasons they have played the following non-SEC FBS teams. They may not have been very good teams, but they didn't know that when the schedules were made. 2015 - Wisconsin 2016 - USC 2017 - Florida State 2018 - Louisville 2019 - Duke 2020 - COVID, they play ell SEC teams 2021 - Miami 2022 - Texas 2023 - Texas 2024 - Wisconsin

Thanks for sharing. Hilarious. The data is all skewed by the subjective rankings. Somebody should tell this guy the BIG went 5-1 against the SEC in the post season last year (2-0 in the playoffs, and 3-1 in bowls). Props to Florida for playing Miami and FSU out of conference. They don’t need to change anything. The rest of the SEC though? I hope Petitti holds strong and sits on his hands and keeps the playoff in the current format. Because of the skewed rankings, it’s the middle SEC teams that will suffer the most if the playoff is not expanded to 16 teams. He needs to force them to play 9 conference games.

Dan Lanning spoke at the BIG Media Day saying the "Process works" and "we're close. After Rose Bowl Meltdown, Oregon Doubling Down on College Football Playoff Title Run Process explained by Coach Lanning, “Doubling down is continuing to work your butt off at practice,” Lanning said. “Doubling down is continuing to run when your body tells you 'no.' Doubling down is getting necessary sleep. It’s focusing intently on all those pieces and more. All the time.”

This is what I hear all the time guys. Just so you know what those in the SEC bubble think, what Pawl FineBoom serves everyday. Demand your leadership to stay strong. Don't give in.

PAWL's journalist? He really didn't like this, and his response was epic...in how it didn't come close to being a response to what Coach Lashlee said. Journalist goes off on SMU HC Rhett Lashlee after SEC remarks | Yardbarker

Wow, now that's a "pithy" prediction.

I still fail to see where anyone - including President Trump - can find a solid argument that would convince congress that there is ongoing antitrust collusion among P5 camps when they are in competition with each other for the same thing. If the threat of losing the full impact of booster support requires these universities or athletic departments to offer some form of legitimate business status to an affiliation of their boosters, I’m too legally ignorant to know if anything could stop them.

She continues to look like the right fit. Congrats.
