Ohio State is the top then Indiana and Oregon and everyone else. I do think the SEC has better middle teams than BIG. Wisconsin is down because Fickell went away from the running game and tried to make the team a passing attack team. If he would have stuck to what was working before he became Head Coach they probably are a better team . Michigan is up there and Penn State but this year not so much. Washington is doing well and USC could be better if they get their defense better. Iowa has always had a great defense but until this year their offense didn't have a pulse. The past few years in Bowl games Big teams have beaten SEC teams. And the excuse is the bowl game doesn't matter that much. But when you play against each other bowl game or not. It should matter. SEC does have better talent because most of the elite talent comes from the South. I think the transfer portal and NIL has helped the SEC more then the BIG. Because of location and weather. An great player is going to want to Vanderbilt, South Carolina or other lower SEC schools more than Wisconsin, Maryland or Purdue. You're not playing in the cold and possible snow. But as a BIG poster, I love to watch snow games, some of the best games are in the snow and weather. Other then TCUN, as a Buckeye fan. I cheer for BIG teams in Bowl games. But as a college football fan. I have watched SEC and cheered for different teams. And hope to attend a few SEC games in the future and cheer for the home team. I don't hate any SEC teams or any teams in general other then our rival. I can easily watch a great game with the ACC, Big 12, or Group 5 team. One of my favorite teams is North Dakota State in FCS. I enjoy reading and sometimes posting on here after games because I realize no matter where you live or who you cheer for. There is plenty of fans as passionate for their team as I am for the Buckeyes! And that is what makes college football great! I am interested in how the Head Coaches hires will go in the SEC since there is a few. It be interesting how many get great hires. I do think Ohio State has the talent to go back to back Natties. They also have the coaching expierence in Day to know that with the playoffs it is like a NFL season and you need to keep your starters fresh for the end of the year. At the end of the day, I'm just a college football fan that loves college football!

It wouldn't surprise me if the NFL has a gambling like the NBA has been busted for. If the Refs aren't gambling then maybe a friend and/or family member is . Just look at the bad calls and No calls in today's games. Until there is real accountability for the Refs it be the same ole same ole!

I knew once the Kelly fire talk was going around the internet that Rant would be on fire tonight!

With the 12 team playoffs and the future playoffs maybe having more teams like 16-24 playoff. Why have Conference Championships anymore? It now hurts the 2 teams playing in it with possible injuries and playing an extra game while a team like Notre Dame will never have to worry about a Conference Championship. Their team sits and is rested while others teams have to play. With teams possibly playing up to 17 games including the National Championship that is a NFL schedule for college players. It time has passed .

I like Urban as a Coach he was great, but Saban is The Goat! He won a Natty at LSU and most likely would have won more if he stayed at LSU. At Bama he is in the same conversion and even better than the Bear! By winning several Natties at Bama. Plus he took a bad Michigan State team and beat my Buckeyes in 1998 that cost them from winning a Natty that year.
Both coached in the MAC, Big Ten and SEC and both were great coaches. But Saban has a better coaching tree and rather you like Saban or not. He is just The Goat ! You can't say that about Urban!

The playoffs are looking like a NFL season. Which is a long season for college players. Coaches will have to take on NFL tendencies like rotating players often and keeping them fresh and healthy for a long season. FBS will not copy FCS playoff schedule which is a 24 team playoff but their championship game is Jan. 6th! Best thing would be get rid of conference championships and start the playoff the first or second Saturday of December. Or what would equal at least a week off for teams.
Also, needs to be some what of a same number of games played in all conferences. If SEC doesn't want to go to 9 games then just have everyone play 8 games. In the end, college football is becoming more and more like a mini NFL rather we like it or not.

I heard someone suggest Army Navy game move to Week O. Which I think would be good. All the teams that had a bye lost. So a bye didn't help them this year. It be interesting to see if the committee changes anything.

Oregon and Georgia being #1 & 2 got the worst path to the semi finals where Texas and Penn St. the teams they beat got the easiest path to the semi finals. I'm surprised Penn St. game isn't at night and a white out. Can't believe the playoffs are already here. This year of college football went by too fast. If someone would had told me that Indiana and Arizona St. would be in the playoffs and one of them a Conference Champion , I would have thought they were crazy! Hopefully, the committee changes the playoff seeding for the better next year.

I can see Kiffin. Who ever takes over is going to have a lot pressure to win and the legacy of Nick Saban to live up to. Also, if a head coach from a Power 5 becomes Bama head coach then not only do you have Bama players in the transfer portal but that other Power 5 school players in the portal too. I think if Florida State coach became Bama's coach then I see Deion Sanders becoming Florida State head coach. It definitely going to be an interesting off season.
I never would have dreamed that Saban's last loss would be against the Cheaters and Harbaugh!

I think this was the committee way of sending a message to The Cheaters(Michigan)! Best of luck trying to beat Saban and Bama! It's too bad for Florida State but I am loving this! The Cheaters ain't getting to the Natty this year!!! :nana:
