For those who didn't see it in the other thread, my apology for accidentally breaking the thread.
I don't know why quoting a post broke it when the original post didn't but I feel bad for fucking up the thread on the last night of the season.

OSU just looks like a team with a lot more talent.

I know this is a joke, but I think a win tonight lets him keep his job after next year when I think they'll look a lot like this year's Michigan team. They lose two thirds of their starters.

This is going as expected. Notre Dame doesn't have the offense to keep pace against a team like OSU, even if the defense was playing well.

Awesome play on the two point conversion.
Still may be time for Ryan Day to get himself fired. |

Yeah, Freeman can coach.
If OSU loses Day will have to be gone. No way alums pay for him to be back if he chokes this away.

These play calls are just begging to get Day fired.

Final poll is out.
Tennessee 9, Ole Miss 11, Miami 18. A perfect illustration of just how utterly shitty teams were in 2024.

I agree. Anytime Tennessee is in the top 10, it is pretty shitty.

This is part of the transition, though. It's easier to plug-and-play on defense, so offenses look a little more clueless in games between the better teams. And the portal increases the gap between the haves and the have-nots, so there are more games (even intra-conference) where the two teams have no business being on the same field.
The game is getting faster at the college level, and there aren't many quarterbacks who can deal with both the increased speed and any type of defense designed to make reads difficult. So there's a temptation to go with run-first quarterbacks, who get hurt much more often. It's still, regardless of quarterback style, far and away the most important position on the field, and if you're not sure whether you have a good one, you don't. College football is not that satisfying a product right now and ratings are based solely on losses and schedule strength is all over the place, so we don't have a great idea of what's really going on. |

Isn't the opposite happening? Pretty sure scoring margins have shrunk and the best team in the country lost 2 games. |

Yeah, I'm seeing way more parity than separation. Especially among the lower tier teams in the Big Ten and the SEC, that have the cash to poach the depth from the top programs. It is going to be much harder to stack four and five star players four deep for Alabama and Georgia when the second and third string can now go get starter money at Kentucky and Missouri.

Totally agree with this. I couldn’t shake the feeling last night that those teams would have been absolutely blown off the field by any of the Georgia, Alabama, Clemson teams from the last 15-20 that were loaded with 4 and 5 stars on the three deep. The level of talent won’t change, or even maybe where it goes out of HS, but increasingly rosters will be built on transfers, freshmen and players who couldn’t get more money elsewhere rather than players who have been in the systems 2+ years. That can only lead to more one year wonder teams and parity on the field. Hell, isn’t one of OSU’s key depth linemen already in the portal before the hangover kicked in from yesterday? |

I think parity is good. I love to see more teams have a shot. Happy the top teams can't just claim all the best players anymore.

It's sort of a yes and no based on converging factors. There's far more variance, season-to-season, because it is harder to keep depth. There's pressure to start players who aren't ready to start, for fear they will leave. The new timing rules have taken a couple of plays away from offenses, which would increase parity a little. The SEC didn't have a dominant program this year and Alabama, in particular, was wildly up and down. The Big Ten was a little more consistent. But both were altered fundamentally by bringing in good programs. Realignment itself brought more parity. I think scheduling variance and the difficulties quarterbacks are having against even mediocre defenses with competent coaching and personnel makes it difficult to see the haves and have nots as clearly. The good coaches are learning this transition. But I wouldn't mistake the struggles quarterbacks are having against an average defense as real parity right now. |

So did the new playoff work? The champion is #1 ranked and had to beat #2, #3, and #4 (not to mention beating #5, #9, and #10 in the season or playoffs). /Jim Mora PLAYOFFS! Voice

The team that was fourth in its conference and didn't have to play in a conference championship game was the best team in the playoffs. The second-best team in the playoffs didn't have to get beat up during the season by playing multiple games against competent teams in the two major conferences. Nor did it have to play a 13th game. Yes, it worked in many ways. A 12-team or 14-team playoff format seems like a great idea. What didn't work is conference structure and scheduling. |

And the playoff structure was crappy. The top 4 conference winners getting byes made the seeding screwy.

I still think the same thing. The tourny did a good job of finding the winner of the tourny, but OSU lost twice and I don't think that automatically means their full season was better than Oregon.

Better to see it played on the field than be awarded a beauty contest by a bunch of sports writers.

The weird thing about sport is that one 50/50 judgment call was likely the difference between that loss flipping from OSU to Oregon. |
