especially the West

I think Illinois is about as good as most of us thought

it's just that Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesoota, Northwestern, and Nebraska are worse than we thought

Who here has had a good look at Illinois?  Who here predicted they would do this well?
Sure as hell not kharma and UW just might have found a Head Coach.Hopefully they can pry Brian Ferentz from Iowa as the Buckeyes play at The Camp next year

learned that Bama is gonna make that playoff after seeing this...Nick ain't going to put up with no bullsh&t. And that's why they've been so good so long under him. He gives no f#ks, has no chill, and takes no prisoners.

re: Jimbo....they ran Sumlin outta town...gave Jimbo a $100mil contract and $30 mil in NIL money to buy players....and they still suck LOL. And Jimbo suppose to be an "offensive guru" and "QB whisperer" uhm.....

C'mon, do you really believe the bullshit that we spent $30 million on NIL?  And if we did, do you really think that A&M has the richest and largest alumni base that we could outspend all the other major programs?  No doubt NIL played a part in it, but stop repeating bulletin board bullshit anonymous lies.  

I think that A&M reported that the total NIL money was around 2-3 million total.  Not 30x that amount.  
No doubt Jimbo has not earned his paycheck this year, and we can't afford to fire him no matter what.  So it looks like he'll be here at least 3-4 more years.

And yes Sumlin had a better record at this point in his career.  But it was apparent that Sumlin's best season was his first, and from that point on he was a 7/8 win coach.  For Fisher his best so far was his 3rd season, which was COVID shortened otherwise we would have won 10 or 11 games probably.  

At any rate he'll be here 3-4 more seasons, in which time he will either completely jump the shark and win 4-6 games per season from here on out, or make a comeback.  

It's obvious that LSU was angling to get Fisher reunited with the AD that brought him to A&M, and he used that to his advantage but I wonder about the boosters who signed on to this deal.  10 years guaranteed, no penalty clause for leaving.  

I swear the aggie jokes write themselves.  Either way he has time to rebound.  I just wonder if the flame doesn't die just a little after scoring a guaranteed contract like that.

So, just looking at the Illini schedule, they could end up 10-2 with a loss to UM, but I bet many of us expect a stumble along the way ...

Purdue has really made a habit of close games eh?

They didn't beat Wisconsin.  Losses to Syracuse and PSU by 3 and 4 don't look too bad.

Would you say te B1G West is the weakest division in P5?  I know the ACC Coastal is certainly able to compete for that title with only one ranked team (UNC at #21) followed by Tech and Duke.  The 2nd best team may be Pitt at 4-3 who took Tenn to OT.

I'd lean to the ACC for that crown at the moment.

Georgia isn’t sexy or flashy. They run the ball really well and they have insane TE talent. Guess you can say that offense is Patriots-esque back when Pats transitioned away from Moss & Welker and to throwing primarily to Gronk & Hernandez.
The are No. 7 in the nation in passing yards, and something like 29th running.  This stat can  be skewed of course by how many games are blowouts fairly early and the team ahead just runs clock.

Washington leads the nation in passing yards, which I did not expect.  Ole Miss is No. 3 in rushing yards (behind only Army and AF).

SEC bias in the polls is real.

The poll voters in both cases come from all around the country.  Maybe they all suck up ESPiN propaganda, it's possible.  Or they rely on past history too much, which I think "we" all tend to do.

well at this point they've earned it. SEC has been by far the best conference over the last 15 years or so.

College football games are really long.
Especially when you're waiting to watch your team while SMU and Cincy play a 4+ hour game.
