New SEC divisions and pods thread (Page 38 starts recent discussion)
Alabama-Tennessee is a must. Tennessee is probably 1st wish on UK and VU's list. Florida/Tennessee wasn't a big game prior to the East/West divisions. Now for TV reasons, UK may get screwed. In basketball, they had UK-UF play twice and UK-Tennessee only once, because at the time, UK and UF were the basketball powers, when UK and Tennessee were probably first on each other's list. So we will see.

Realignment talk not going away
Good interview with Brett McMurphy. Brett is from start to about 24 minutes. Pony guy gives his thoughts for about 5 minutes, then he talks SMU basketball. Brett said he had NEVER seen a commissioner go to a campus before the invitation before. Thought their statement was really weird and gave off the impression of the dreaded vote of confidence. Fox will not be a part of the Pac deal so ESPN and Amazon are just bidding against themselves. Deal could be in next couple of weeks, but late March/early April most likely. SMU and SDSU invitations are when, not if. G5 is obsolete. Thinks NIL and media rights gap make a split inevitable. Lots of schools want out of ACC, so when they think they can get out of GOR, its likely to be chaos. In is personal opinion, he doesn't see the Big 10 leaving USC and UCLA on an island. He thinks Big 10 still wants to expand more in the west, but is not ready. He thinks its inevitable that they do take more from the Pac, but they will have to act quickly or wait a few years. Pony guy says SMU has been talking a lot for over a year with ACC, Big 12 and Pac 12.

We're pretty obvious and easy. Georgia getting Florida, Auburn and South Carolina is pretty obvious. Most of the rest, the 3rd team could be several options.

Super Bowl LVII: Chiefs vs. Eagles
What you clearly don't know is that holding happens on every play and has to be pretty egregious before the refs flag it.

With pods, everyone in the pod plays each other. With guaranteed rivals, your rivals might not play each other.

I can't feel good about the Dickerjames school getting back in the big time. Much prefer Rice to get that slot. SMU is the one who deserved to get permanently relegated. The only good thing they ever did after Doak Walker and Jerry LeVias, was letting Dickerson keep the Gold Trans Am aggy gave him.

Super Bowl LVII: Chiefs vs. Eagles
A clear hold when he was beat and needed to slow his man. Would have been a clear TD. How is that weak? Fuck Philly and their douchebag coach Uh, the guy was wide open if Mahomes had hit him.

Super Bowl LVII: Chiefs vs. Eagles
I would have tried on 3rd down. Agree on going down on 2nd.

Super Bowl LVII: Chiefs vs. Eagles
Chiefs deserve a blocked kick run back for a TD.

Super Bowl LVII: Chiefs vs. Eagles
Doesn't get called 95% of time. Pretty minor. Fix is in. Game deciding penalty vs. Bengals. Penalty takes any remaining time away from Eagles.

Well if you don't consider what fans want, then its ok. Disrespectfully, you are a mathematical idiot if you think any scheduling is fair when you are in one division and miss 6 out of the other 15 schools.

First 10 were all SWC members at some point.

New SEC divisions and pods thread (Page 38 starts recent discussion)
If you have 15 other teams and only play 9 others and don't play divisions and talk about competitive balance, you are a liberal arts major. You have no concept of math. The Big 10 was pretty random when they had 1 or 2 every year rivals and played 8 out of the other 10 after PSU joined. Some mediocre team would get lucky on the schedule and win or compete for the title. When you miss 6 out of 15, there is no competitive balance. So you schedule 2 rivals with 8 games and 3 with 9. With one rival, you end Alabama-Tennessee, which was both schools biggest game for decades. Auburn-Alabama has only overtaken it in recent decades. And you end Auburn-Georgia, the most played rivalry in the SEC and 2nd most in FBS. Georgia leads 63-56-8 after winning the last 6. It just makes no sense.

My son goes to Auburn. aggy was playing at Auburn the day after a parent's night. We decided about 3 weeks before to go to parent's night. The closest hotel we could find was in the Atlanta suburbs! if you are going to an Auburn game, plan well ahead.

You don't understand what makes the SEC special. Georgia hates Auburn, Georgia Tech and Florida the way we hate OU. South Carolina and Tennessee are pretty fierce too. When they play Clemson, its somewhere between the top 3 and S. Carolina and Tennessee. Back in the SWC days we had OU at the top and UH, aggy and pig at a lower level. Now its just OU with Baylor/Tech/TCU all well below how Georgia views Tennessee.

Sounds like projection to me. That's a mirror you are looking into, not a window.

Sounds like the $20 million to Fox ($10 apiece) is all we are paying to get out early.

Its either not true or it has something to do with Fox.

I miss the Big 12 1.0, when CU and NU were good, BU was Kansas bad, KSU had Bill Snyder 1.0 and we had an offensive line, Ricky, Major, VY and Colt.

I guess it depends on ESPN paying for the extra conference game. But 1+7 isn't going to happen. It might be 2+6 or 3+5. Georgia isn't going to have to choose between Auburn and Florida. Alabama isn't going to have to choose between Auburn and Tennessee.

For some reason I'm not getting this and don't feel like messing with it. Is it red and blue window Cougars?

Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
No we won't. We did chant S-E-C, S-E-C as everyone was beating the pigs out the door. We may sing sha-na-na-na hey-hey good-bye.
