  1. There was a BCS rule against this. 2nd game wouldn't count towards bowl selection. Dunno whether it was kept.
  2. I'm going to assume this game is still on for now. Things to know. Michigan can rightfully be called an elite rushing team. They run roughly twice as much as they throw and have a versatile tandem in the backfield. Carries have been about even when both are playing, but Jordan Marshall is more the thumper and Haynes is an elusive one-cut guy. They use playaction to keep you honest, but they don't really ask Bryce Underwood to do much. He struggles when they do need him. They predominantly hang out in 12 and 11 personnel. Michigan's defense is a Wink Martindale defense. They do a whole lot but tend to not be fundamentally sound. He and Venables are kindred spirits in that respect. At some point in the game, we will catch them playing games with their front and pop an explosive run. But they are overall solid up front this year. Where they struggle is the secondary. Safety play has been their biggest issue, even in run support. Wink's reliance on man coverage to make his madness work has also hurt him as the DBs just aren't strong enough of an overall unit to avoid mismatches against strong opponents. If you are a visiting Michigan fan or otherwise haven't seen Texas play much, I think a fun thing to look for in this game is the contrast with the Texas defense. PK plays very few games and will only really throw curveballs when he sees an opportunity for a strikeout. Instead, the Texas defense emphasizes technique, physicality, and being elite at a few things. Simplicity vs complexity; stability vs chaos.
  3. SOS is based on power ratings not records. It's not RPI. So this year's Sam Houston and Tarleton State are going to be roughly equal.
  4. Maybe I'm misremembering, but isn't that like saying Tebow won a championship? He was on the team, but Chris Leak won it.
  5. But we are talking 80-90 NFL QBs over that range with 6 winning titles.
  6. Tua won a title, but not Hurts. I guess JJ and Stetson are technically NFL QBs as well.
  7. Burrow, Mac Jones, Trevor Lawrence, and Tua?
  8. Agree and disagree. There are pretty clear societal and moral boundaries around marriage and homewrecking. I'm not saying bring back honor killings, but she owes his wife and family a certain level of respect and decency as fellow human beings.
  9. One last chance to improve their value before entering the portal.
  10. I don't think PK and Mad Martin would last very long together. Polar opposites.
  11. Survey data suggests men cheat more but divorce data suggests it is women. Men maybe are more willing to admit it and more willing to file divorce over it. Nothing suggests a monumental gap though.
  12. Maybe. The quote is more about complexity than blitz rate. Indiana played a lot of quarters and front reductions against Ohio State. But they might not be an aggressive team by blitz rate. To that point, Georgia is pretty simple on their backend while being more complex up front.
  13. It applies to tOSU and I think Tech. Patricia has been very vanilla, simple C1/3, situational country C2, almost no quarters. Doesn't apply to Indiana, or OU, or UGA, who like to do a lot. Maybe to their detriment at times.
  14. There's a saying that applies at least on the defensive side. "If your players are really good or really bad, 'Just play defense.' " With better players, you don't need to take risks and aggressive playcalling to win. Worse players can't do too much and things spiral when you try. In the middle is where you need to cover for vulnerabilities and give your guys chances to make plays.
  15. So...instead of passing legislation a decade ago to clarify the law around and support college athletics, congress will now be punishing schools for trying to make the Frankenstein system work?
  16. Only 25 athletic departments were breaking even before the pandemic. I'm sure it's lower now, plus we are adding expenses. Something has to give.
  17. We can do revenue distribution and not have them ruin the postseason.
  18. I said the same thing in that thread, but to clarify my stance. The broader media generally have one topic of discussion each week, and they find clips for it and make a narrative out if it. Sometimes that narrative is true and real, but it's still tends to be a misleading way to break down a game. "One easy fix to solve all the team's issues." It's never that simple.
  19. Like SOS, there's not a single way to do it. But it the difficulty of achieving your specific record against your specific schedule.
  20. This would be nice but pretty sure what we are going to get is the SEC/B1G break off to do their own thing.
  21. This. The game thread went to shit once it became clear Indiana was going to win and acting like it was a total beating. OSU looked like the better team at 8-9 of 11 positions, but one where Indiana was clearly better was QB. If OSU hits the field goal and it goes to OT, they likely win because BoJack was tearing Indiana up at that point in the game.
  22. Game was even worse than the scoreboard, but Oregon was basically missing their 2-deep at WR, and I haven't followed them enough to know who is healthy now. The other two teams that could likely challenge the whole thing were left out.
