Hobert Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Hoping that my alma mater--who is undefeated in the ACC, but also hasn't yet played a conference game --can beat the Wahoos tonight to launch an ACC title-run.

pulledabill Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Bad clock management, some bad plays calls down the stretch, and a BS penalty at the end of regulation cost the Ducks a game yesterday.

My daughter is on the UO marching band, she was hoping for a bowl venue she hasn't been to yet...if they make one...they are very vulnerable. My OSU Beavers are 4-1 and got a little love in the polls with a few votes.

PMookie Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 For me it comes down to Bama and Georgia. No one in the ACC/Big Ten/PAC 12, or the rest of the SEC etc are even close to matching the level of talent they have on the field. Big Ten has a few unbeatens, but look at the combined records of those teams that lost to UofM, MSU, PSU, Iowa, etc. Not one team in the Big Ten can play with Bama or Georgia. ACC has literally no one. Seriously. There are two teams that are ridiculous this year and everyone else is a mish-mosh. After the Top 2, the rankings could just have all of the rest listed as 3 or 25. It’s a boring year in college football.

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.

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.

For sure, grew up going to DBU baseball camps and then Oklahoma Christian joined DBU's conference my last 2 years. I always loved that they were a small school who could go to-to-toe with DI's. (Baseball is a bit different in that its more of a level playing field, all you need is 1 DUDE pitcher to make a run at someone.) Of course the money ruins it all lol Yea it's not worth Vandy leaving, even though they suck a football they get a good share of the money by being SEC, I would judge them if they left honestly. I do wish it would work though, cool and unique story of DBU could offer some insights into how the future pans out if indeed something happens to the NCAA like all the conspiracy theorists are suggesting.

I always loved that they were a small school who could go to-to-toe with DI's. (Baseball is a bit different in that its more of a level playing field, all you need is 1 DUDE pitcher to make a run at someone.) Of course the money ruins it all lol Yea it's not worth Vandy leaving, even though they suck a football they get a good share of the money by being SEC, I would judge them if they left honestly. I do wish it would work though, cool and unique story of DBU could offer some insights into how the future pans out if indeed something happens to the NCAA like all the conspiracy theorists are suggesting. This may not be the case any more but DBU used to be able to rake. They played in a small ballpark and always had 4 or 5 guys that could go yard at any time. We never played them, but I was very aware of them and their reputation.

Not so much as of the last few years but still a force. Competitive in regionals every year.
