the unquestioned king of CFB now with Saban retired, Jeem off to the NFL, and Dabo on the backslide down to reality.

Ryan Day better beat Michigan and win a natty this year or he's probably fired and then Kirby is going to win his 3rd in 4 years and just take sh*t over and we'll have another goddamn Saban on our hands where one guy just sucks all the oxygen out of the room.
Must beat Michigan, probably.  Win the NC or get fired?  Unlikely.

Georgia is coming to Austin this year and I like Texas' chances to win.  Nobody's going to be able to do what Saban and Alabama did again, not any time soon.  It's too easy for teams with means to repair their rosters within moments, not years.  It's precisely why Saban's leaving right now.  He can't dominate like he used to, really nobody can.

guess I worded that wrong, but I am assuming them beating Michigan (finally after like  5 years) likely means they will have probably won the Natty. But I guess that's a stupid assumption seeing as how we're now in a 12 team playoff. the heat is 100% on his ass though- if he doesn't beat Michigan I'd say there's a greater than 50% chance he's fired the Monday following that game.

I would like to hope that no one would do what Bama did with Nick and dominate everything for 15 years straight, but man if Kirby gets ANOTHER one and has his 3rd in 4 years, that machine will just keep on rolling. I'd honestly like to see UGA miss the playoff this year and see them fall back down to earth a little bit. Call me a hater. I don't care.

Thanks... But that doesn't actually answer the question lol...

If he decided tomorrow to declare for the draft, what sort of look do you think he'd get?

Including the problem of poor utilization in 2023 and being behind Corum, but assuming that he shows out with great measurables at pro day / combine.

I mean, Kamara was a round 3 pick. Even if he shows out in 2024, what's Edwards' ceiling? Is there a huge benefit over trying to go in this year's draft?

Or, perhaps putting it another way... Once the pro day / combine stuff is done, what are the odds Edwards would be drafted ABOVE Corum?
there is no benefit really. he's going to test very well and his receiving skills are as good as it gets for a RB. would bet everything he'd also get drafted higher than Corum if he was in this upcoming draft. he's just bigger, faster, more athletic and more talented.

If you specifically hated on Georgia then you might be a hater, but it sounds to me like you just don't want any one team to dominate like Alabama has.  I think everyone on the planet outside of Tuscaloosa would agree with you there.  I don't want to see Georgia dominate, but I also don't see any evidence that they will.  They lost the SECCG to a talented but flawed Alabama team, and going forward I expect they'll lose other games too.

I echo your sentiments, and I don't hate Georgia.  I never hated Alabama, either.  Honestly I've always liked the Tide.  I just don't want to see them or anyone else make the sport less fun by winning too much.

Except my own team, obviously.  I'd find some way to live with that kind of success. :)

Pretty sure with a 12-team CFP, an OSU team that loses to Michigan but is still a CFP favorite isn't firing their coach.

Maybe he’d close more deals if he talked dirty to abuse victims?

How soon they forget. Ryan Day beat Michigan decisively in his very first try. 


it was Harbaugh that took six seasons to do it.

this is very true. but context matters.

Day inherited a loaded roster and a program that was a monster from Urban Meyer/Tressel that had arguably been the most dominant program in the entire country from 2002-2018. Look at the record. 2 Natty's (shoulda had 3 bc that 2015 squad was LOADED) played for 3 or 4 more, and ONE losing season in 18 seasons. One. And that ONE season was after Tressel was fired in disgrace and the team had an interim Luke Fickell as a head coach. That's it. So that one losing season almost comes with an asterisk. 15 of the 18 seasons- at least 10 wins. 13 of those 18 seasons at least 11 wins. Tressel laid the foundation of the machine and Urbz took the program to another level in terms of talent and recruiting. Day took over a top 3 program in the sport. Day really was born on 3rd base.

Jeem inherited a dumpster fire of a program that was stranded in the wilderness and that had been utterly and completely owned by Ohio State for a decade from RichRod/Hoke. He had to completely rebuild that bitch from the ground up.

Ryan Day inherited an Urban program and Harbaugh inherited a Brady Hoke program. I’m sure theres no difference there.

don't kid yourself. MSU only got rid of him because they got caught with their pants down- pun intended- after he got exposed as the truly DOG SHIT football coach he is- and it was an easy out to get rid of him on the cheap and not have to pony up on that INSANELY retarded $100 million guaranteed contract they gave him for winning one game vs Michigan in East Lansing.

If ol' phone sex was actually a legit coach that had a 40-3 record with 3 B1G titles, 3 CFP trips, and 1 Natty under his belt in the last 3 seasons the brass at Michigan State wouldn't have ever fired him. They'd have done everything in their power to stand behind him. It was an easy decision to save $80 million and throw him in the trash can like one of his tissues after a phone call because he was such a fking terrible football coach. If he was an elite coach, he'd still be there.

Will Muschamp claimed inheriting an Urban program was the cause of all his failures

You guys are hilarious.  Michigan should be pretty good next year and compete for the Big Ten title with Moore running the program.
