You know who's figured out how to use the portal really well? Brad freaking Brownell. Who could have ever thought?

Wow, just looking at the scores.

The thing is most all of the SEC teams are ranked, most of the ACC teams are not.

Pitt is actually ranked? They got crushed.

Interesting that the highest ranked SEC teams were the two to lose.

Of course, I'd rather go 0-16 than have dook get a quality win.

Honesty I’m glad Duke beat Auburn. We need them to be good to have a chance to improve our resume by beating them.

I was going without looking at the numbers so, close. Really fucking embarrassing regardless
 
I will never consider SMU, Stanford and Cal as part of the ACC. Syracuse, Pitt, BC, Louisville and Notre Dame are bad enough.

Yeah I don't think it will ever fit. It's just stupid.

Of course the ACC will be gone soon enough anyhow

IMO college football divisions will split off and all other sports will go back to compact, regional leagues as it should be
 
Pulling for Clemson
We should have beaten this overrated SMU team. They are not good

If only you had a FG kicker.

Whoops I responded on the basketball thread.
But it wasn't our kicker. One was a shit snap and then the lineman stayed way down and got jumped over easily to get the chip shot blocked

I've been hoping that will happen as well. Just spin off college football into its own separate league, or superconference or whatever they want to call it, and have all other college sports go back to regional conferences of 8 to 12 teams like things used to be. It would make perfect sense. I think if the current move into having just 2 or 3 superconferences for all sports continues they're eventually going to lessen interest in college sports and destroy a lot of traditional rivalries that help create fan interest to begin with. Having Stanford in the ACC or Oregon in the Big 10 or West Virginia in the Big 12 is just absurd and not financially feasible for all sports in the long run, imo. It might be for college football, but not for all men's and women's college sports.

The problem kind of began with the SEC, I'm not sure why they felt they needed to expand back in the day with Texas A&M to begin with. I guess it started perhaps with Colorado and Nebraska leaving the Big 12 but they were additions that made sense to the Big 10 and Pac-12. I get why Texas A&M did it, however, they're realistically never going to win the SEC in football whereas they could have built a dominant program post-Manziel had they still been in the Big 12. From a fan perspective that kind of sucks, you're ensuring you'll forever be at best above average being in the SEC.

All of college sports got screwed up because of TAMU and Mizzou.

I trace it back 20 years earlier when Arkansas left the Southwest Conference for the SEC in 1992. That led to the demise of the SWC, and it officially disbanded in 1996 when Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor and Texas Tech left the SWC to join the Big 8 (which then became the Big XII.). Mizzou and A&M didn’t move to the SEC until 2012, two decades after the remaking of the major conferences had begun.
 
Kansas averages fewer than 10 TOs/g, and they have 13 in the first half and are getting routed by Missouri (w/Mark Mitchell). Missouri is already 12-14 FTs.
 
Oregon a small favorite at home vs UCLA

Don’t know much about this UCLA team but they must be decent

Fwiw, A&M won one Big12 championship, in 1998. The idea that the Manziel effect would’ve carried A&M to permanent conference contender status wasn’t precedented. Going 6-6 to 10-2 in the SEC is a far more enjoyable week to week watch than 6-6 to 10-2 against Iowa State, Baylor, Kansas, and okie state.

UCLA is 7-1. They lost to New Mexico (7-3) and have beaten Rider (4-6), Boston U (4-5), Lehigh (3-6), Idaho State (4-5), Cal State-Fullerton (2-8), Southern Utah (8-3), and Washington (6-3, O-2 Big 10).

All of UCLA’s games have been at home except the loss to New Mexico, which was in Nevada.

They were the only non-Texas team though in the SWC, so leaving made sense although Arkansas probably should have gone to the Big 8/12 instead.
