  1. Yes, they are at the bottom now but they, being Stanford with their resources, location and athletic history, should be better than BC, Syracuse, Duke, WF and Virginia. With some NIL, they should solidly be in the next tier among Pitt, GaTech, Cal and VaTech. I am thinking the top teams and main NIL players in ACC are Clemson, SMU, FSU, UNC, NCState, Miami and Louisville.
  2. Stanford doesn't have to go all out on NIL; the vast majority of CFB doesn't. They just have to beat the lower half of ACC, a simpler task than the bottom half of Pac12, to get back on track. Their main problem is that they don't care much for football. They should hope that Andrew Luck is the Chris Beard type who can sell the promise and fill the stands. Once they are 7-5/8-4, they can target what they need through NIL.
  3. A flower vase and a glass helmet? Someone shopping at dollar general?
  4. They were running downhill very well. What's with this sideways running?
  5. yes. I should have said defensive backs.
  6. ISU's backfield has been poor the whole game. If KSU QB was slightly better in his throws, they would be way ahead.
  7. I could see that coming a mile away.
  8. they are not bringing the chains anymore?
  9. These teams should be used to playing in wet conditions; dropped passes, fumbles.
  10. Was that fansville QB slide referring to Ewers?
  11. This is how algebra was done before the introduction of variables (x, y, z, etc)
  12. Army is #17 in top 2.
  13. For the top-ranking dominance, here is the top 5 vs top 2 plot. Again, very good overlap with 21 teams being in at least one top 20 list. Texas A&M and Washington drop out and Army joins as the #20 in top 2 and #23 in top 5 (they are #60 in top 25). The top 3 really stand out here and the 5 of the remaining top 8 (blue bloods) are close to more recent top teams such as Miami and FSU.
  14. Made a mistake in the second plot. A few labeling errors. Here is the corrected one.
  15. I had posted this at the end of 2023-24 season. This is the same as the popular AP top 25 vs top 5 rankings chart but reduced to only top 20 teams that show up at least in one of the two rankings (top 25 or top 5). I chose top 20 because there is almost a full overlap (19 of 20 teams are top 20 in both). If I increase to even top 25 teams, there is a large variance. The only two teams that show up in only one top 20 ranking are Michigan State (#22 in top 25 and #19 in top 5) and A&M (#19 in top 25 and #21 in top 5) Here is the updated one till the end of 2024-25 season. Slight change at the bottom with 18 of 20 teams in both. Oregon joins this group by coming in at #20 in top 5 ranking (#24 in top 25). We overtook USC in top 5 last year and barring a disaster, should overtake Nebraska this year. That will put as in top 7 in both categories.
  16. In hindsight, it may have been a good option to have Arch play part of the OU game to see if he can handle a good defense, though it would have come against Ewers losing reps coming back from Injury. Also, IIRC, Arch took couple of shots when trying to make a play downfield where I was thinking a check down would have been more prudent. This tendency of Arch to be a bit reckless about protecting himself could have prompted Sark in not exposing an RS freshman when an experienced though flawed QB is available. Imagine what the reaction would have been if Arch had gotten hurt due to not being experienced enough to protect himself.
  17. One thing I liked is him being grounded and not acting like he is something special. There was no need to mention the USC's 4th and 2 call but he owned that mistake and didn't spin it as anything else. Nobody asked him about him being jobless but he has mentioned it multiple times, and those of us who have gone through layoffs know how uncomfortable/embarrassing it is. He could act as a big shot UT head coach but he repeats that he is not ever going to take this job for granted. All these reveal more about character than the platitudes from "personality growth" guru TED talks. This doesn't mean that he is perfect but he is climbing the right mountain, occasional slips notwithstanding.
  18. Agree. It was not coach speak, it was subject matter expert discussing their work. Also, the first time I have seen someone wax poetic about highway onramps of LA.
  19. Time for an appointment at, say, Snook cemetery?
  20. didn't he walk after pushing?
  21. Doh. For my east and west mixed up.
  22. I guess I am too used to reading aggy screenshots. The same visit to aggy would be described by their mods in far rosier terms filled with Elko’s gravitational pull on the said recruit and pointless potshots at the overrated school to the east, not to mention berating the 2%ers on not getting onboard the roller coaster.
  23. That's not how middle age is defined. Typically, middle age range is 40~45 to 60~65 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_age), with the breakup being 0~20 as teen and earlier, 20~40-45 as adulthood, 40-45 to 60-65 as middle aged and 65+ as old.
