Coffee and TV

I love how we're continuing the go mean green trend of shitting on 18-22 year olds and pretending like we were so much smarter than them at that age. Yeah, kids wanna get paid fairly for their work and it's *their* fault the system is setup to dupe them. Great thinking guys.

I'm actually on board with what you're saying about power conferences being diluted, but we knew this was gonna be the case when the playoff system was setup. SMU had to stab themselves in the foot just to get it in the door, but credit to them they did exactly that and deserve to be in the playoff if they win that diluted ACC. I'd say the same for Central Florida or BYU if they were in this situation.

Yeah, I get your point, but that's not how everyone agreed to set it up. The whole setup was "join one of these power 4s, win the title, and you get in." You're in a power conference, there is no such thing as a 'weak' schedule unless you're specifying out of conference. Do I agree SMU missed out on the top teams and had a 'weaker' schedule? Of course, but if they win Saturday you can't not include them for that reason, because that punishes a team who legitimately followed the agreed upon formula for qualifying. WTF is Cal and Stanford doing in the ACC if not to qualify for the playoff.

lemme stop ya right there.

Were you not following the conversation? I hope Clemson hang 70 on them but this is such BS. They joined a power conference and if they win Saturday they will be the champions of that power conference. You can't say someone has a weak schedule when they win a power 4, otherwise wtf was all of the realignment about if winning a power conference doesn't get you into the playoffs? WHY DID WE KILL THE BEAUTIFUL PAC 12 CONFERENCE IF NOT FOR THIS!?!?!? "Ah well, sorry you're undefeated Tennessee but Bama had a down year and you didn't have to play a 1-loss LSU team that didn't make the conference title after an Ole Miss upset. Sorry!"

Now just imagine trying to follow your team in the playoffs. As lurker said though, gotta hash out the conference championships first.

People on this board are quick to scream quitter when a player announces their transfer, and now they're stupid if they don't quit before the coach is fired. lol

You'd have a much easier path if you were 11-1 playing Army this weekend, instead you have to get through Clemson. You can't have 16 or 18 teams in your conference, play 8 of them and then call yourself the champion, it's not a feasible way to determine who is the best. I think 12 is a good number for the playoffs but it's still a stupid system if power 5 teams don't "play a hard enough schedule".

I've seen people go after Texas' schedule before they made A&M look silly.

bruh, why even bother then? Like log off and don't watch college football if this is your initial reaction. (friendly) I've already given most of them away but I'm sending you whatever go mean green internet points I have, since you're so worried about it.

It's funny how everyone rushed to shuffle conferences and make sure they got into a Power 5, yet here we are exactly a year into this system and the arguments are all about whether those power 5 schools played a "strong enough" power 5 schedule. Like maybe SMU would have gotten a harder schedule if everyone hadn't rushed to consolidate all of them and created a situation where they got to avoid the harder teams.

Why does Vito go with the sex pest look?

You'd think a PhD would teach someone how to admit they fcked up their research, but alas...

Well shit, we were so close! 😫

Do try and keep up, Mack Brown proved that recruiting class rankings are pointless over 15 years ago.

I'm not wrong though, this is a 2nd year coach in the best G5 conference with a 6-6 record and I guess all that drinking just made most of the whiners forget the Dodge years. Everyone is fine with remembering the Ticket City Bowl, but want to forget the same guy brought us Portland State 2 years later.

Amazing that some of you managed the Dodge years without finding yourself in rehabs.

Ohio State hasn't beaten Michigan in like 1200 days but they're still going to the playoff. What other fun calendar games we playing.

Yeah which conference was that? Eric Morris just had to play 3 ten-win teams 3 weeks in a row.

Every team we lost to finished .500 or better this season.

There was a year we were national champs via the transitive property application like this, I think it was 2003 maybe.

My dude there are worse games every week in the MAC.

Unless there's a very clear reason to, like Todd Dodge kinda seasons, I'm a firm believer in giving a guy 3 seasons. He's no better or worse so far than Coach Taylor, so bowl or not I'm fine with seeing what year 3 brings.

Dub is a dub at the end of the day.
