ACC with a rough start to the year

Yea this has much more to do with ESPN/SEC dictating playoff expansion/network deals than it does scheduling games, but the latter could change I suppose....

Can’t say I’ve met many Texas fans, but Bama fans in real life tend to be more like what you see on the boards. Except of course those who actually went to school there who are indeed normal folks. Ain’t nothin’ worse than a pahandle gump for instance. And no way does Texas have the side-walker...

If the SEC and B1G further dwarf the ACC’s deal come 2025 there is no chance schools will sit on their hands until 2035. I think the ACC is in real trouble....

Barring a post-Saban Alabama enticing Dabo (not sure what people think of him here, but he has many Bama fans approval as an eventual successor in my experience) I think Clemson will still pull weight....

Most SEC towns aren’t really in a position to make fun of another’s women. Change the hair color to natural and the laptop to a bag of Popeye’s takeout and you’re set....
Think it has more to do with a generational coach going to a school with alumni/boosters that only care about football and with deep pockets to boot. Hell you can argue, along with ESPN, that he’s the reason the arms race began and the SEC feedback loop of being the best conference....
A well thrown show and no real consequences either since the committee gave you a mulligan in case you beat Bama the next week....

[quote]Absolutely. SEC is lapping the field.[/quote] Honest question: I know this is an SEC forum (duh) but is this generally a good thing? The middle to lower tier teams are going to likely struggle even more (though we’ll have to wait and see how NIL evolves with the mega brand the SEC has cr...
Oddly enough, you can thank Nick Saban for pretty much everything related to the CFB arms race of which this is just another extension. ...

Mega-SEC and the future of CFB

Honest question: do you think the addition of OU and Texas is healthy for the sport as a whole? While it might earn the SEC member schools more money, that hasn’t always translated to on field success and now the middle-bottom tier have to compete with an even more loaded conference. Throw that o...

[quote] Ohio State and Notre Dame are the only programs in the country that could go toe-to-toe with Alabama in terms of influence as members of the SEC. Texas/OU, while behemoths, just don't have "it.“[/quote] Not really. Notre Dame has a large, wealthy alumni base, but probably a more diverse ...
