Film Room Friday: Michigan's Mason Graham and Oregon's Josh Conerly Jr.

 

I am continuing to try some new things this summer. Each of the past three years, I have spent more and more time watching film. I am still a bit of a novice, but I have watched enough football to know what I am looking for a lot of the time.

 

As we head into the heart of summer scouting, I wanted to find a way to do some deeper dives on prospects I am watching each week, leading us to Film Room Fridays. Each week, I am going to break down a couple of prospects I have been watching and include some embedded highlights that I have cut together and shared on Twitter. The goal is to provide a visual element to the written analysis.

College Wire ranks the B1G as the conference with the second most difficult SOS in 2024.

 

The SEC is, of course, the hardest place to play your ball. 

 

'Iron sharpens iron," right? The 4th out-of-conference game vs, The East-West-North-South Lilliputians is a real iron sharpener.

 

Playing 8 conference games is justified because 'No one plays D like we do in the SEC.'

 

9/30/23 - Ole Miss 55 - LSU 46 

 

10/7/23 - LSU 49 - Missouri 39 

 

11/11/23 - Georgia 52 - Ole Miss - 17

 

None of the three games went into OT.

 

'Iron sharpens iron!'

 

Missouri 2024 OOC Schedule - Murray State, Buffalo Bulls (not Bills,) Boston College, and UMass.

 

Ole Miss 2024 OOC Schedule - Furman (Is Old Trapper the Fur Man mascot?), Middle Tennessee, Wake Forest, and Georgia Southern

 

Auburn 2024 OOC Schedule - Alabama (not Texas) A+M, Cal, New Mexico (Meow, Mexico?), and UL Monroe (Distant cousin, 38 x removed, of President James Monroe.) 

 

ESPN's super-secret decoder ring needed Fallacious Proposterious Index has 11 (out of 18) SEC teams ranked in the Top 20, the SEC could probably play six conference games and have a robust strength-of-schedule. The preseason FPI rankings would give us a playoff field with 5 SEC and 3 B1G teams.

 

If playing 8 and not 9 conference games tilts the Playoff in the SEC's direction, then notwithstanding the SEC being the BCS and the 4-team playoff top dogs, the B1G and the B12 will need to step up and be counted.

 

COLLEGESPORTSWIRE.USATODAY.COM

Breaking down some of the numbers from the latest FPI.

 

The P4 in my opinion should all play 9 conference games and if Notre Dame wants to stay independent and be playoff-eligible the Domers should play 13 regular season games.

Would The Rose Bowl be The Rose Bowl with the game kicking off at 5:30 PM Pacific on a Monday night? 

 

A problem CFB has is fitting its playoff games into the latter part of the NFL regular season and the beginning of the NFL playoffs. 

 

Start the season in Week 0, eliminate conference champ games, one bye week in Week Six or Week Seven, and the Rose Bowl could host the Champ game on New Year's Day. But both ESPN and Fox would want a rebate from the loss of the SEC and B1G champs games. I expect the ACC/SEC would want the title game to alternate between the Rose and Sugar Bowls.

A B1G reason for Howard transferring out of K State, he wasn't likely to start. There is a lot of young talent in the Buckeyes QB room but it is very young talent. 

 

Will any Buckeyes QB be better than McCord last season? QB could be a comparative weak spot for Ohio State this season.
