Also, tell us more about how great a passer Ehlinger is, compared to Tebow!  I'll get some popcorn.
Bwahahaha.  So defensive.  I knew that statement would make your vagina all sandy and itchy.

I actually had no idea what the stats were.  I just thought it would be fun to tweak you.  And I was right. So thanks for the continued entertainment, as always.

Your continued entertainment is much appreciated.  It's fun to see how much this bothers you.  Keep it up, I'll remain thoroughly amused.

Ha!  So it looks like the B12 does a lot of Bama-ing.  Learn something new every day!

High scores in the SEC are due to great offense. 

High scores in the B12 are due to bad defense.

This "twelving" thing has hit the point of being deeply stupid. It's all football. 

150-pound kids playing 8-man in Kansas is football. 165 pound kids playing NAIA ball is football. And the Big 12 playing football is football. Football with sloppy-ass defense, but football all the same. 

Tee kinda made the point cleanly, " It's intended to disparage," which I suppose is the nature of a huge proportion of discussion about the sport, but at the heart, it's finding smug satisfaction in disparagement, which makes this whole silly back and forth feel a tad hollow at it's hear.

Each conference may have a somewhat different "style of play" (or not, I think we make too much of it at times).  I find it interesting, when say a good defense like UGA had last year plays a Baylor in a bowl game (Baylor of course was not a typical B12 team last season), or Oklahoma.  The Sooners scored 31 in the first half as I recall.

I find it all interesting, not really something about which to bicker.  I wish the ACC could find some balance, and this year I'd opine Ohio State is almost as far ahead as Clemson.  Well, not almost, but fairly far ahead.

Alabama seems to be annually very sturdy, I think they have a mental advantage over opponents in the SEC, at least over UGA.

It's easy to bash, but there's also the fact that none of these teams had spring drills, most of them had zero or highly abbreviated summer drills, and they're also in the midst of a very stressful time.

I can feel the psychological toll this pandemic is taking on me, and the way it's affecting my work and the work of my colleagues.  To expect 18-23-yo young people to be able to manage through that without it affecting their training and performance, would be highly unrealistic.

I suspect we will continue to see upsets and weirdness happen throughout the season.  It's really impossible for this season NOT to be strange, and deliver strange results.
I think this is a good point and something I hadn't really thought about.  It is entirely possible that we will see substantially more upsets than usual this year.
