Not So Fast! It looks like the SEC is ready to hand Tony Petitti a B1G in-your-face. The SEC, at the end of its spring meetings, made certain to let everyone know that the 8 regular-season games in the SEC Just Mean More. For the first time (RIGHT?) Greg Sankey found enlightenment. 6 SEC teams in the Committee's top 16 last season, including 3-loss Bama, Ole Miss, and South Carolina, would have made a 16-team PO field. Thank goodness someone brought this to Greg's attention. On the field, a 4-loss Michigan team with many starters sitting out defeated an all-hands-on-deck Bama team in its bowl game. Ditto for 3-loss Illinois taking out 3-loss South Carolina. Nothing to see here, move right along. S(ec)SDD. We're the best, we only need to play 8 regular-season games to prove it. The Committee? The Committee's spot-on rankings were negated by the field only having 12 teams. We need a 16-team PO! We trust the Committee will continue to recognize that our teams' 3 losses are superior to 2 losses everywhere else. We have paid attention to our friends in the ACC and the B12. Five conference champions and 11 at-large teams is the PO format we need; it's the Fairer Way, No Doubt! I never fell for the B1G/SEC detente. You could SEC this possible rope-a-dope coming from as far away as Minneapolis is from Destin, Florida, site of the SEC's annual beach retreat. The Michigan at Oklahoma Week 2 game will kick off at 7:30 EST on ABC. Disney does all it can to aid its SEC partner, while Fox is a B1G Mickey Mouse. However, Fox agreed to move the Texas/ Ohio State game to 7:30 Sunday night of Week 1 instead of Noon on Saturday. Texas vetoed the game time move. The Texas athletic director noted that it would give Texas a short week before its next game and that on Sunday, he goes to church. The Longhorns' Week 2 opponent? San Jose State. We'll see how this plays out, but I expect the SEC will stay at 8 regular season games, and that a possible B1G vs. SEC football challenge was just part of the S(ec)ucker Punch.

If I'm honest I think that's the deserved result, there is no way that the second Oregon run should have been scored, I don't care if that's the way the rule is laid out, in no way should that be obstruction. The rule should be changed, it basically encourages teams to make boneheaded running decisions since it's just natural to put your foot on the corner of the plate. It's one thing to put your foot there not allow a runner to slide into home when you are still in the process of making the catch, it's another when the ball beats the runner by a mile. I know this all came out of the Buster Posey injury, but it's gotten ridiculous at this point. I'm not blaming the officials, I'm blaming the way the rule is spelled out.

Fox is the absolute worst, worst studio group, worst visuals, worst times, worst play by play, I actually like Klatt...he's been very good I think, I don't always agree with him, but I think he's very reasonable, and I don't think he really has an agenda. Everything else is horrible. NBC is probably the best of the options, CBS is still in its SEC mode where they would rather be talking about Bama and the greatness of everything in the south. I'll be honest I still wish we could watch our biggest games on ABC and get Herbie on the broadcast or Tessitore or others, Noah Eagle though is good.

A rather anticlimactic win for the Bruins after the Ducks tie it up in the top of the 7th,

Penn State is my sleeper this year in the B1G.

I definitely like this and give me the Edge from USC(e), Stewart. it was very satisfying to not see the SEC dominating the Draft, after the B1G has won the Natty two years in a row, and the SEC wasn't even in either game.

I'd love to see Caleb Downs at safety along with Thieneman. That's a heavy dose of SEC OL guys along with Fano from Utah. Possible sneaky good opening game when the Utes play UCLA in Pasadena. TE from Vandy? A&M guys are always here, and the Aggies lose four games every season. I'm not sure that Klubnik is the best QB in South Carolina. LaNorris Sellers at USC(e) is a baller and took down the Tigers and Klubnik in Clemson last season. In Clemson's opener vs. LSU, LSU QB Nussmeir could outplay Klubnik. But can Kelly win an opening game? Where was Clemson DL Woods last season? The Clemson D gave up a lot of big plays. Clemson could go 10-2 and win the ACC with bookend SEC losses. Including Special teams, 12 players from the SEC and 6 from the B1G are on the list. The B1G was not dominated by the SEC in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft and more than acquitted itself vs. the SEC in the postseason. I think there are players on the Georgia team that Kirby would not trade for the Texas and the A&M guys. Thanks for the post. OK, please pass me a Dixie Cup.

The Ducks are undefeated when they hit a home run. Hit a home run!

They have three cream puffs to start the season and they only travel to the West Coast one time to play UCLA. However, they have Iowa and Ohio State back to back on the road. If they can get through their schedule with one loss they will be a serious contender.

I'm sure any of these players would make a great Duck. My first thought was our old buddy, Jeremiah Smith. But would he help the most?
