whelp, seems Ole miss is legit at least...

Suprised they beat GA as bad as they did. So, perhaps they shot their wad and will wind up in a playoff bowl game?

Had a feeling Ole Miss would win. Georgia's offense is terrible.

Once we find someone who can coach this football team and then find someone to invest in it, at least we know we'll be able to compete much faster than in previous years

Georgia hasn't been as good as in years past, they could lose to Tech.

Tech ruined FSU and beat Miami.

A&M is currently 7-2 and tied for first in the conference.

The cope on here is insane. We either need to spend the money or shut up. We're outperforming our current level of investment relative to the rest of the league, but y'all aren't ready for that conversation.

If there's one thing this wonky season proves, it's that spending money isn't everything. Its not even 50% of the equation.

You have to have good coaching and players that buy in, and then confidence and momentum take it the rest of the way. Indiana is playing with that confidence and momentum, same with SMU. You can't tell me they spent more money on their rosters than we have.

They spent less money and got a better coach.

Show me the budget roster at the top of the league standings.

Did y'all learn nothing from Bert's tenure? Why y'all continue to want to use outlier Big 10 teams playing Big 10 schedules as a proof of concept in the SEC makes zero sense to me. The top of that conference is still exactly who you'd expect it to be. Oregon, Ohio State, and Penn State. Even moreso with the ACC. Acting like SMU has to field a quality of team anywhere near what we do to compete within conference is disingenuous at absolute best.

A&M has the 11th highest NIL collective in the country. Just more cope.

The SEC has turned into the NFL. They all close in talent but what separates them is the level of coaching.

The Cowboys organization makes more money than any professional organization but hasn't won a SB since the 90s. Yet the Patriots who don't make nearly as much has won several.

Now you're trying to compare NIL to a league with a salary cap. My God.

Not a cope, they spent 50 million on a recruiting class just to go 5-7 and 7-6. The problem was Jimbo was still the coach who didn't care and couldn't wait to get fired.

Do you believe that if Arkansas dropped a 100 million in NIL, all these problems will go away? Will it make Sam Pittman a better coach?

It might as well be since it has turned into NFL lite.

I certainly don't think it would make things worse.

Do you honestly think we're spending enough to be competitive in this conference right now? Turn off the Pittman hate boner for two seconds and be honest.
