re: 16 teams is not a conference, it's an association

I'm neither. Ok, we got off on the wrong foot my friend. I apologize for anything mean I said to offend you.
Heck, I've been trying to 'talk football' on this forum for a long while now, and it doesn't work too well. Too many folks enjoy trolling and attacking. So, anyone who would at least try to have decent conversation about the great sport of college football, I commend you! Go Vols..., or at least, Go Vols until they play UGA.
