Great article! I always thought 12 was a weird number, but have come around to thinking that the bye week is a good incentive…16 is probably better though. Thanks for the thoughts!

Well congrats to OSU and WSU on “getting” startup funds to try to cobble together a mid-major conference. It’s still the original WAC no matter how they brand it. This really does make me wish we hadn’t scheduled them.

I’m sure they wouldn’t regret that at all in 2 years 🙄 They’re going to get hammered if he stays.

With all the shifting of conferences, it’s really hard to wrap my head around what the Big12 will be like next year, saving that energy for our own new conference. From what I’ve seen though, the Buffs will struggle, 6-6 at best.

So JS leaves OSU with an overall losing record. OSU has won 1 Rose Bowl in 100+ years. Yet somehow there’s this narrative that has developed that they’re some kind of standard bearer. Wild stuff. I can’t wait to see their media deal, they really seem to think having control of the PAC name is going to result in the same historical level of TV deal that they and WSU will split 2 ways. As to FSU, are they really arguing that because the ACC didn’t target OSU, they should be free to leave? What planet is that logic originating from?

Good reasons, but Deep South and BIg10 just does fine in Florida. Who knows what’s going to happen, but I think they only go to 20 if ND is involved. I’d predict big12 is where FSU lands, if the concept of conferences continues as is.

I’m sure FSU is interested, but why would the big10 want them? The SEC isn’t interested.

Who cares? College football fans care. Beaver fans will act like they don’t care, but that is what happens when you have a triple digit rated recruiting class.

Lots of flaws with rating systems abound, especially at QB. With transfers, I do think 2 years versus 1 remaining should increase the rating, all other things being equal. But yeah, if we could only take one QB for next year, no way I take Moore over Gabriel.

Of course recruiting is the priority, but I think an average recruiter can still get top 5 classes at Georgia. DL is a proven recruiter, but arguably the jury is still out on game day coaching in big games.

He’s not at the top of my list if I’m Georgia. DL great recruiter, but that’s not at the top of my list for a place like that…they can throw a rock and hit a 5 star. I’d want a great game day coach that has been thriving with lesser recruiting classes, perhaps a recent coach of the year.

Good thing he didn’t go to Georgia! The guy just scored a top 5 class as good as he can get anywhere else, and is in one of the “Big 2” conferences…I don’t think he’s leaving for a college job.

Clown-Zano. The problem with all this is the bylaws were designed for one team leaving, no precedent should be applicable with 10 of 12 members leaving, it’s not apples to apples. That being said, do whatever they want with the rebranded Mountain West…the riding on coattails ends in July, until then, pay up.
