Undershooter

Agreed, they are probably the best baseball conference as well. Basketball is easily where they are the most lacking in men's sports, but their basketball programs have been somewhat improving as a group recently. Despite Kentucky's massive fall of last season.. Concerning realignment, I guess I get your point but that wouldn't exactly work money wise. You'd be giving up money to leave the SEC if you're someone like Vandy. They are always going to struggle to compete in football, but they have strong basketball and baseball programs. You'd lose the football money share in the conference, just to win a couple more games against G5 schools. Which inevitably would cause your other programs to decline. Edit: Dallas Baptist used to be an NAIA school and moved to DII because of their baseball program(which is now DI as you mentioned). They've been a powerhouse in baseball for quite a long time.

I don't see how you can say the Pac12 has lots of good teams and the SEC is overhyped... The Pac12 is basically the SEC, MINUS their top 3 recruiters. Lets take a little dive into this. People say the SEC is overhyped pretty much every year without really looking at the depth there. Line each conference up from best to worst and compare them and I'll take the SEC's top, middle, and maybe even bottom tier over pretty much every other conferences comparatively. Hell, the worst team in the SEC West still has a good chance to make a bowl game. The only other division that's close to claiming that is BIG east. Ole Miss might be the 10th best team in the SEC this year. Lets look at them vs other conferences possible number 10. Who would you take between OM or Colorado/Cal? What about OM or Illinois/NW/Rutgers? I'm pretty sure you can give me OM every time and I am definitely not a fan of the rebs. @Shankster I do think Cincy has the best shot to get in the playoff of any G5 school we've seen so far. They actually have a decent schedule, if they can just win out.

Not gonna lie, this gave me a pretty good chuckle.

While I get your point, teams would make their schedules as easy as possible if that were the case. We wouldn't get any UGA vs Clemson or Oregon vs OSU games like we've already seen this year. That would also make it exceedingly more difficult for G5 teams to improve their recruiting imo. The good G5 teams would never get the exposure of possibly knocking off a P5 team, because P5 teams would be less likely to schedule them.

Agree to disagree there. FBS may be FBS, but there is miles of difference between the recruiting of elite P5 teams and elite G5 teams. Certainly there are scenarios where a G5 team could get into the playoffs, but acting like a G5 team should be given the same benefit of the doubt as a P5 team isn't realistic. For example the most talented G5 team in the country (UCF) has 5 fewer 4 star recruits than the most talented P5 team (Bama) has 5 star recruits. 10 fewer than UGA.

Imo, I wouldn't take this as Berg calling you or anyone else an idiot. But it is frustrating to see a team that is a perennially in the hunt, being bailed out of what could've been a potentially season killing draft. Not only being bailed out, but bailed out before both the first week AND waivers running. That's nothing if not a compliment to @blackngold_blood and his ability to get a deal done. I've said it once and I'll say it again. Trading is 100% a skill. A skill that BnG possesses in a big way. The last few days have been a masterclass in trading. My way of looking at it, is that y'all just let one of the biggest wolves in the forest back in the hunt. So hope whatever deal you made with said wolf is worth it. Personally, I wouldn't have dug him out of his hole just yet, but that's my strategery and its obviously different from y'alls! (Yes for the record I've traded with him in the past and will do so again in the future. Again, he's good at making deals)

Welp, not everyone went through the draft smoothly, so if nothing else.... Let the trading begin!

Your complaining has been whack all season long...

Yea if we wouldn't have overturned that one, my entire 68 bucks would've been on him. Definitely a game changer this late in the season and bad form by the team that roster dumped.

Yea him and Kyle Stanley missing the cut by 1 are killing me. At least kyle gets some points despite playing worse than Hank.

We don't give anyone the authority to push through their own trades. We have to ask one of the others to do it for us.

I've got ole Hank as well. He's been hot.

Y'all be cray cray. I ain't paying 40 bones for Sergio unless its circa pre Masters W Sergio. (I also had a bid in but I wasn't close lol)

In it to win it for a 3rd time! Leggoooo!

I'm looking to move Leishman, Na and Wallace. Send me reasonable offers. Ideally I'd like a 3 for 2 or 2 for 1 bc I'm looking to free up roster spots, but I'm open to other options.

Buddy you're preaching to the choir... I was gonna go 10-0 and will maybe finish 5-5 now

Ohhhh, just give it time lol

Hopefully this years good luck is a makeup call from lady karma after 3 year ago's leading in points through the first 1/3 of the season and being in dead last or whatever it was. Now that was FRUSTRATING lol

You said lucky and fluke, but maybe the context was misunderstood. Regardless, more matchups brings in less luck. I understand wanting to root against your opponents rosters, but that shouldn't effect building the optimal lineup. Basing lineups off of other people's rosters is like starting your backup QB in ffb because your starter is playing your starting defense. Rooting interests aren't good for setting lineups imo... Says the Rory fan who keeps going back to the well.

You say you don't like "flukes," but having only one matchup per week brings in the most flukey results possible. It's like someone making the fantasy football playoffs when their team is close to the bottom in points scored. They got lucky all season in their matchups. The more matchups we have, the less flukey the results. We couldn't play everyone each week this season due to league size, so we set up the most matchups you could in a round robin fashion. It's not perfect, but it's much better than only having one matchup each week.

As I have said previously, I prefer to pick players. Though I'm fairly certain the standings would look similar regardless of picking vs best ball though. The better fantasy players tend to rise to the top eventually. Point in case, the current leaders in the standings have won 2 of the 3 titles and the winner last year is currently in 8th. It all evens out for the most part. I really would like to get back to matchups with everyone each week though.

Really kicking myself for dropping Phil two weeks ago. Happy to be up top of the standings though with @blackngold_blood!

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! And a happy belated birthday to our fearless leader @Golfspy_CG2! It's a honor to share a day of birth with you good sir. I actually got to sneak in 9 holes in our weekly Wednesday scramble at the club. Luckily enough the rain held off and we got it in.

Bent grass greens and zoysia fairways are a recipe for low scores for these guys. They are going super low unless the course is playing firm and fast and its windy.
