I was a doubter but this Cotton Bowl has convinced me that the SEC and Big 10 are clearly the two best conferences in college football and therefore deserve the most money and media attention.

IF Day comes back next year, they have a rough schedule and a seemingly not great QB. The only way he comes back is to be the sacrificial lamb to endure the fans when they go 8-4.
Oh barf me out. I'm certainly no fan of Bama or the SEC, but I hope the Tide roll Michigan by 30+. That fan base is quite full of themselves with the whole "we're giving the middle finger to the world because the NCAA doesn't like us" mantra.
Depends on what kind of schedule they get.
Missouri had a good year, but also beat 5 teams from the East and had Arkansas as one of their crossover games. If you are good that schedule will get you to 6-2 easily.
Similar to NU to a degree, I’d sell OU regardless. They’re coming off a great run, and living off last century imo. NU didn’t fall off because the BIG West is difficult
OU can have great seasons anywhere. Nearly every school can
What will change is ability to always have great seasons and quickly recover when things get off track. They don’t have the recruiting and budget cushion anymore
What makes OU, OU, is being elite. Tops in the conference. Add 1-2 loses every year, or a missed hire in which they have a few losing seasons, and they’re Ok St
Yes. A running back from Truman State but totally not the kid that led the SEC in rushing yards.
Everyone’s disappointed. It’s only the usual suspects who are losing their mind. They only surface when our football team loses, then they return to the sludge from whence they came.
I know everyone says SEC props up itself up due to an 8-game conference schedule, which is true. But they earn the respect because their top teams win national championships. OSU, which is probably the most elite team outside of the SEC, is 1-13 against SEC opponents in the last 14 games.
He played really well too. He's only a redshirt freshman. But Notre Dame has a stud true freshman and CJ Carr coming in on top of Riley Leonard. He'll have a decision to make for sure. A lot of P5 schools would take Angelli in a heartbeat.
Anyone else sick of the phrase “ESPN analytics says to go for it”? What analytics says to go for it on 4th down on your own 34 yard line? Just because it’s 4th and less than 4 doesn’t mean you should always go for it.
If they're just exhibition games, you can't say that. Maybe it just means more to the SEC to win exhibition games?
Penn State being the #1 defense in the nation appears to be completely based on their schedule. They’re a good defense, but no where near the top. Mississippi apparently is harder to stop than Iowa and Michigan State.
Except for Auburn.
They used their VooDoo quota for the year against Alabama.
Go Terps!
Uhhh, no duh?
Penn state also has two NFL DB’s not playing and their top DE who is going to the NFL. Ole miss isn’t really missing anyone on offense and they were ranked 11th
