SEC plays more conference games early. The B1G will once the TV contract is renewed.
Whether you play in week 1-4 as a pre-season, or in week 11 as a bye week, does it really matter? Both teams are fattening up on lesser teams. If you think it's unfair, change your scheduling.
It is kind of...
Well, it's a moot point because there won't be an 8 team playoff. It's clearly going to be 12, it's just a matter of when, how AQs are handled, and how the bowl system will be involved.
Based on past numbers, the SEC and B1G would have had 4 teams get in in a given year.
Especially this game. Rival games like this are always unpredictable. For selfish reasons I want you to keep Grantham. But, you really need to get rid of him. He's terrible.
Pfffttt ... with that shitty D, it'll be more of the same in Jax - MuLLLLen. We have the athletes to limit Pitts, and Trask will be on his ass all day long. I'm thinking about 42-14 this year. We will convert 10 of 12 3rd downs.
Listen, you are the one that brought up the criticism of the degrees, not me. I have an undergrad degree from Vanderbilt, JD from UGA. Don't care if you believe me or not. I assume you have a USC degree which is impressive. But, put down the "southern" degrees, I'll proudly fire back.
I obviously don't think it's like any other season. My posts make that obvious. And you are correct ... if the Alpha 3 conferences end up cancelling 3 or 4 games, then the PAC might have a chance. Absent that, pandemic or not, they won't let someone who played 4 less games into the CFP. Everyone...
Pandemic doesn't affect the fact that your conference screwed up and will play 4 games less. It would be absolutely unfair to allow a PAC teams playing 4 less games to be in the CFP. They will know that and won't do it. Do you really not see the problem in a team playing 4 less games due to...
Sorry I don't follow Cal football. Not many people do. In the SEC or elsewhere. But, good to know you may be the 7-0 team that doesn't get in the CFP. That would suck.
I think there is a possibility of 2 from the ACC and 2 from the SEC. Could see UGA/UF, Bama, Clemson, ND, but only if the B12 totally shits the bed, and they are off to a good start. I think the PAC is out, and the B1G needs an undefeated tOSU, which is likely. I think the most likely are:
Bama...
For years you guys tried to discredit the SEC for playing one less IC game than the PAC. Now you are going to play 4 less IC games than the SEC, B12, and and the ACC. Any team with 1 or 2 losses will be considered before an undefeated PAC team, so long as they play 10 - 12 games that are...
Too little, too late. Even if you can start by Halloween, you can't play enough games to get into the CFP. Enjoy your 6 game season.
How does Larry Scott still have a job, ffs?
It accounts for that ... our 5* that have left aren't listed on our team - Fields, Cox, etc.
If there is a weakness, it's not reevaluating the *s based on college performance. So, a 5* who turned out not to be very good still counts as a 5*. but who the fuck is going to do that?
For 247, all...
How do you not get the equality aspect of it? If sports is part of the educational mission of a university, why should it be for men and not women? Don't say one makes money and the other doesn't because all mens sports but football and hoops don't make money. All non-sports related...
You really don't get it, and you playing a sport means nothing in this discussion.
To be clear, football money pays for all other sports, mens and womens, except basketball. So, you are ok with football paying for men's sports that don't make money, but not women's sports?
You seem to have missed the part that making money isn't the issue. Do you think the university makes money off the Debate Team? or the chess club? Or intramural sports? As I clearly stated, it's not about whether the sport makes money ... it's whether it contributes to the universities mission...
I am not a fan of Title IX, but for reasons other than sports. If you look at college sports as an activity that is integral to a schools educational mission, you might see it differently. Football and basketball have become so economically successful that we tend to forget that there is an...
I mean the concept is not difficult, even if you don't agree with the overall policy.
Women were discriminated against when it came to college athletics. More funding went to men's sports. Title IX basically said if you receive federal funds, you can't discriminate between sexes when it comes...
