re: The B10 is Dying

And they’ll be irrelevant again for the next century. They’ve been one of the worst power 5 schools for the last 100 years, and will regress to such status after this season.
That is the truth, bitch boy. You’re like the Butler Bulldogs rendition of college football, soon to be forgotten. Indiana is a shite hole state with a terrible economy and a dying population, like the rest of the Midwest.
That is the truth, bitch boy.

I’m sorry if the truth offends you. Strawman responses no longer pass muster on the Rant. Rebut the actual substance of the post or admit your imbecility. It’s time to rejuvenate this forum. Attacking the purported motivations of the speaker, rather than the merits of the argument, is not an acceptable form of debate, jackass.
The B10 is Dying
Posted by ClassicCityAlum on 1/19/26 at 11:12 pm
In this century, the SEC has won 16/25 national championships and the general South has won 21/25 (including the ‘99-2000) of the last national championships. Let the cornfield yokels have their moment, it’s absolutely adorable. Michigan had to cheat in 2024 (as even acknowledged by the spineless NCAA), and Indiana had to pilfer fifth and sixth year seniors from other states to laden an NFL-aged roster. OSU actually earned their national championship. However, two can play at the transfer portal game. The South has the athletes, B10 has the cornfields, simply stated. We’ll just play the transfer portal game until someone in Congress has the guts to introduce a bill to remedy the sport.
In any case, the Midwest is bleeding population like a gut wound - no one wants to live in the frozen, landlocked shitholes m that are Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, etc. The population is moving to Florida, Texas, Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia, Tennessee, etc. for good reason. No wonder the B10 had to expand West in order to survive.
SEC has been dominating the other sports in the meantime (e.g., UF in basketball; LSU in baseball), the gridiron will return to their proper masters soon enough. Until that time, enjoy your frigid weather, bovine women, derelict cities, and landlocked plains. I love the way Middle America votes, but what a shite hole region.

Your response was not the checkmate you believe it to be. You just demonstrated that you believe cherry picking a statistically insignificant percentage of alumni proves that your university is world class, despite all evidence to the contrary. By the way, there's a good reason why Tim Cook, nor any other billionaires save one, live in Alabama. Those who've had tremendous success from your state universities flee it to live and raise their families elsewhere.

Across the board, UGA is objectively a better school than Auburn.
Georgia is the flagship of a state that ranks "top ten" in GDP output, higher education, and was one of the original colonies. Auburn is effectively the agriculture and mechanics school of Alabama.
There's a reason why UGA is ranked as a top 10 public school, enjoys a top 20 law school, top 25 business school, etc. Outside of select programs such as agriculture and, apparently, their vet school, Auburn pales in comparison.
However, this conversation seems to regard admissions standards (i.e., Auburn fans claiming that GA students admitted to their higher ranked flagship in Athens would rather pay out-of-state tuition and drive further to attend school in Auburn, Alabama). This debate is easily ended if you care for facts --
Admissions statistics for the Class of 2028:
UGA:
-- 37% admit rate
-- Average GPA range: 4.05-4.33
-- Average SAT range: 1280-1470
-- Average ACT range: 29-34
Source: LINK
Academic Peers based on objective admissions stats: UNC, UF, UT-Austin
Auburn:
-- 46% admit rate
-- Average GPA: 4.2 (no range provided)
-- Average SAT range: 1250 - 1400
-- Average ACT: 28.7 (no range provided, but obviously lower than UGA)
Source: LINK (I could not find an actual source from Auburn University, so feel free to rebut with a better source)
Academic Peers based on objective admissions stats: NC State, Florida State, Texas A&M
Auburn is a great school. However, given the above, no student from GA interested in business, law, politics, etc. is going to an inferior, out-of-state school if admitted into UGA. Atlanta private schools are laden with UGA rejects who, with good stats, attend Auburn. For those more math / science / engineering oriented, Georgia Tech (who enjoys only slightly higher admissions stats than UGA at this point) is obviously also more attractive than Auburn.
No, Auburn, you are not poaching GA students. UVA, UNC, and Vanderbilt may achieve that (though even those days may soon be gone with the wind), but not you.

re: Question for UGA fans
Posted by ClassicCityAlum on 10/8/24 at 10:31 pm to Poichess
Why would UGA need AAU status?
UGA is the flagship university of the state. It has a top 20 law school, a top 25 MBA program, top 10 public policy program, top 5 agricultural program, top 20 journalism program, and recently added a medical school.
It also happens to enjoy some of the most winsome coeds, one of the most beautiful campuses, greatest college towns, and formidable athletic programs in the country.
GT is an urban campus located off a highway and is, to your misfortune, almost 70% male. GT produces the engineer who will live a humdrum upper-middle class lifestyle in Marietta. UGA produces a gamut of professionals, from politicians to lawyers to CEOs who run the state.
Take a look at the schools' comparative SAT / GPA scores. They're virtually identical. UGA is just the dream college experience, whereas Tech is where fun goes to die. Enjoy that AAU status...

I'm now signing off for another year. Three hours of misspent time on tRant is enough for the next twelve months.
If you respond, I won't know.
Good luck Alabama, put those B10 / P12 / B12 mongrels in their place.
If Georgia somehow loses to FSU, I'll actually come back early to eat my words on tRant. I admit when I'm wrong, I'm not Serraneaux (or whatever he called himself).

Well, the responses to my post explain why I haven't flirted with the Rant for some time.
This was formerly a board of erudite and well informed fans debating germane topics with some sophistication.
Now many of you are personally affronted when a lawyer from PB offers a coherent argument and then fields your counterarguments so that we may enjoy a proper debate.
I'm not sure why someone being a lawyer should be so shocking or seemingly inimical to your own self-esteem. It's simply a job, like any other. The more you obsess over it, the more your own insecurity in evinced.
There are greater life accomplishments than being a fricking lawyer, believe me. Don't be so offended.
If it's any consolation, I spend much of my day taking shite from people who are younger than me and making more money.

Ah, an LSU lawyer. Is this Mike Johnson?
Yes, precedent helps predict the most competitive playoff teams. If that wasn’t the case, then the Power Five should receive little deference.
That is false. You are only advanced in the rankings if (1) the losing team lost by either a wide margin or to a poorer team; or (2) the advancing team achieved a quality win. Case in point, if that was a regular season game, UGA would not have fallen five slots.
But they were ranked behind Georgia heading into championship weekend. If that win over OSU was impressive enough to rank them #1, then they should’ve achieved that ranking prior to beating an Iowa team that would likely be 6-6 in the SEC.
See above.
The fact that an inferior Washington team should not advance in ranks at the expense of a superior Georgia team is at least somewhat relevant. I don’t think you’re too conversant with the definition of the word, “irrelevant.”
Do they not teach logical reasoning in ol’ Louisiana? A strawman is used to erect a poor and irrelevant argument in order to distract from the pith of the matter. I drew a highly relevant and apropos analogy that proves my point. Liberty would not be admitted over FSU or Washington for the same reason that FSU or Washington should not be admitted over Georgia. People bemoan FSU’s exclusion because they play in the “Power 5.” I dispelled your semantical argument by showing that relative conference strength is more important than semantically driven group conference categories.
They "may" indeed, but only if the losing higher ranked team’s defeat and the lower ranked team’s victory merited a change in ranks. A 3-point loss from Alabama and a win over a South Alabama / UCF defeated OK State team does not logically result in a five ranking flip.
That is literally how I ranked the teams at the end of the post. Keep up.
FSU has a victory over a mediocre LSU and a losing Florida team, which they barely beat. Which ACC teams and which SEC teams? The juggernauts of each conference, or the bottom dwellers? Are you actually suggesting that Georgia or Alabama would have suffered a loss to any ACC team this year? Since Georgia’s only loss came to Alabama, answering that question is the only relevance of an SEC to ACC comparison. The fact that Syracuse may have beaten Vanderbilt is slightly irrelevant to determining the strength of the SEC vs. the ACC regarding playoff positioning.
Given that I just defeated every one of your counterarguments, I’d reevaluate your position.
You may be a lawyer as well, but I'm guessing we play on different fields.
