Ah, yes,  "content"...

Imagine being an editor for CFB at any of these sites and there is your main need, so you pressure your guys and gals to come up with something click worthy.

"NCSU picked to win the NC in 2022."

"Ohio State expected to lose five games ..."

"Notre Dame coach to Nebraska?"

And then whoever needs content for the hours of programming, there are only so many reruns.

Did y'all ever have "Jefferson-Pilot"?  Maybe that was an SEC thing.  Heaven forbid your team was playing Eastern Michigan that week

We did not, but I believe it's similar to "RayCom" network that featured a lot of the SWC games that didn't make it onto national television.  Fox Sports eventually bought and absorbed RayCom, and it became Fox Sports Southwest.

This was when HD was just coming in and the reception of JP was horrible even on cable.

HD was a huge jump obviously.

So, UGA is slated to play at OU next season, I wonder if that gets bumped for something.  The return game was in 2031 or somesuch.

UGA has a 1.000 record with OU, has never lost, the same is true for Ohio State and Notre Dame.

Texas is another story.

Texas has excellent records against teams that wear various shades of red.

4-1 against Georgia
7-1-1 against Alabama
10-4 against Nebraska
56-23 against Arkansas
76-37 against Texas A&M
62-50-5 against Oklahoma


Gold helmets, not so much.  3-9 against Notre Dame, 3-8-1 against Vandy (most recent game played in 1928).

The Vandy thing seems hilarious, we mused about that years ago.

Yeah I'm hoping we can get Vandy as a permanent rival in the SEC so we can start evening up that series.  Of course, the way Texas has played recently, that's not such a sure thing...

5-7 Texas can't take anything for granted.  Who do we think was worse last year, Vandy, or Kansas?  'Cause Texas actually lost to Kansas.
