Missouri is a sound team on both sides of the ball if at full strength.

I'm curious what everyone's timeline is here.

I'm trying to remember the exact year I found CFN.. which I think it was CFN first but I'm not exactly sure. I believe this is year 24 as I think it was 1999. Badge or one of the others can probably remind me when it was bought out, which I think it was rivals.. that buyout i think happened after I had been on the board 2-3 years.
Yeah, it's tough... It definitely wasn't that early for me as I didn't find the boards until after college, and I graduated Dec 2000. 

It was after that that I ended up moving to the West Coast and didn't really have a college football fix for Big Ten info. I'm sure it was probably somewhere in the 2002-2005 range for me...

Does anyone remember the actual history of which board was which as we made the various migrations, and/or when they occurred?

I found the CFN place in 2003 I think.  The Dawgs were supposed to be pretty good and the interwebz had information (much of which I later learned was baiting for clicking).

I tend to have a pretty good memory of the posters who were here before me and came after me (or at least weren't active such that I didn't see them until later).  More so on the SEC board.  It took me a little time to venture out to the B12 board, and even longer to the Big Ten board.  So while I remember Big Ten'ers who were already there, it's possible some of them might have actually come along after me.  But unlikely, because I don't think it was that long. 

Cincy, rtf, and Drew all predate me on the SEC board.  Many others who are no longer around.  OAM came after me.  That's kinda all we have now, except for the Tennessee bunch who mostly keep to themselves on their team board. 

Big 12....utee94, Erin, Mr. Tulip, CWS, Longhorn320, and Fearless were all here before me.  Many other Sooners from years gone by which aren't around anymore, and a couple of Horns.  Shiner as well, who mostly isn't around now. 

Big Ten....wow, so many.  Would probably be easier to list the people who came after me, but I don't think there are many.  Yourself (SuperMario), Badger, SFBadger, MarqHusker, BBTS, ELA, MrNubbz, and I think HonestBuckeye, are all posters who predate me.  A number of other Buckeyes and Michigan posters who aren't around anymore as well.  I know I'm forgetting a lot of people, and there's some I'm not sure about, like Temp.  Oh, and NUWildcat (RIP).  I think almost everyone I see on this board came before me.  Vast majority, for sure.

That being said, i wonder how helmet schools accustomed to winning will cope with potential an extra loss or two a year now that the conferences are huge and there will be another 1-2 top tier schools in each conference.
I *THINK* it will calm everyone down a bit because single losses are no longer going to be decisive.

This year Ohio State and Georgia are not in the playoffs because of one loss each. Those losses hurt because they had a huge impact. With next year's set-up the Buckeyes and Bulldogs would be the top two at-large teams and EASILY in the field.

Additionally, with next year's setup a game between 11-0 tOSU and M teams would exist in a world where everyone knew in advance that the two would play again a week later.

If you apply next year's set-up to this year's rankings:
  • All undefeated P5's would be in, M, UW, FSU
  • All 1-loss P5's would be in, TX, Bama, UGA, tOSU
  • Four of five 2-loss P5's would be in, Oregon, Mizzou, PSU, Ole Miss in, Oklahoma out


Nobody is going to complain about the coach or go to "FireRyanDay.com" because of a regular season loss or two if the Buckeyes go 4-0 in the playoffs.

You have to get Liberty in the mix, and Oregon State somehow as things stand now.

Between opt outs, injuries and portals, how many scholarship players are going to be able to play in these games?

CFN started in 2001, I believe, and I came on in 2002. It was primarily an SEC board back then.

I know @grillrat  predates me, as did Gator and Big Beef and a few others.

The Big 12 crew we have mostly came over from the old CNN boards. @utee94 would know, but I think that was around Thanksgiving 2004, or maybe 2005. 

I wanna say Scout bought CFN in 2007 or so, and they let us keep our CFN board there. The Scout admin was really nice to me.

Then in 2017, 247 bought Scout and that is when Drew built this board for us as 247 made no accommodation until it was too late.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

The above did account for Liberty as the 12 would be the P5 Champs, Liberty, and six at-large:
  • 6 UGA
  • 7 tOSU
  • 8 Oregon 
  • 9 Mizzou
  • 10 PSU
  • 11 Ole Miss
I don't think OrSU would be considered a league champ next year just because they beat WSU. I'm assuming they will drop the league champs to five and increase the at-large to seven.

I started posting during the 1997 season

don't remember all the names of the boards, but those were good times.

Definitely before then. I remember being on it in my dorm room and last year in the dorm was 2000. I don't think i started posting actively on it until moving into the college house for the 2001 season. Wayback Machine has a hit as early as Jan 1999. I wish it had the pictures as downloadable because just seeing the shell of it gives me great memories. 

What was the female Buckeyes screen name.. pretty sure her actual name was Jill. I was always impressed with the females that hung with the males football know-it-alls.

I started in 2005.  I remember my first post I introduced myself and Hooky started asking me all these weird questions to make sure I qualified as a Horn fan.

I was a babe in the woods and an easy target.
