I did not watch a bit of this game, but I can only imagine it was a total ass beating the PAC 12 sucks cocks

their last hope to make the playoffs this year is probably Utah later against Florida which should be another beating....I don't see USC getting it done

Right, but that isn’t born from a trend toward super conferences.

You are just now realizing this?

Lots of drinks.  Drink heavily.  Way absolutely above the margin necessary.

This game sucks and is a fantastic preview of what the superconference concept has done  and will do to college football.

Oregon doesn't even belong on the same field with UGA and it's not even close; and none of that is some great ode to player development in Athens.

Lol yea I feel so bad for poor Oregon they’re at such a recruiting disadvantage with their severely limited resources 😢

I wasn't feeling sorry for the Ducks, but rather college football fans in general.

This has nothing to do with super conferences though. Oregon has every resource at their disposal regardless of conference.

It has everything to do with it.  they have the resources, but they're not playing/ contending for natties.  You are making my point. The great players are going to a handful of teams because of it.  Whatever the opposite of parity is, that's what we're getting.

There's three teams, and then the next tier pretty far behind. Second tier needs it all to align at the right time and if you're not in the second tier, fuck off.

My expert analysis is that Bo Nix is terrible at football. He should attempt professional bocce ball and/or intercollegiate tiddlywinks.

I think the better question is how much of Lanning's success was having far more talent than anyone else. 

I was going to say the same thing about Smart.  He's not a very good gameday coach.

CFB already had less parity than any other major sport.  Latest changes will only make that worse.  Does anyone disagree?

NIL might actually spread the talent out more, but I could see it going either way.  The few teams that are heads above the competition got that way by dropping 💰

Removing or expanding initial counters is definitely a bad choice.   Pretty sure the portal is bad for parity.

I disagree.   Now that more teams will have access, you'll be seeing recruits factoring in playing time into their decision of which school to sign with.  The new 12 team format was the best the Pac 12, ACC and Big 12 could have hoped for recently.

Agreed. You won't have to go to Bama, OSU, UGA or Clemson to showcase your talents in the playoffs. Other schools can legitimately offer a shot at the playoffs. Not just a pipe dream.

And all it takes is one cinderella  playoff run to get everyone excited.

I hope you’re right.  Imo it’s heading towards the 2 major conferences having so much more money than others that only the top of those have any real shot.  NIL is great but how can teams from 2 conferences get 100M each and the other conferences 25M or so lead to more parity?
