re: So are we going back to the old 10 team SEC, sign me up!

[quote]On man not me I hope the SEC stays intact like its planned for in July and if there are more adds get them from the ACC .... no more from the Big12.[/quote]
I mean I understand this opinion from the newbies, but there have been exceptional rivalries that have essentially ended due to expan...

So thinking on this a bit more… as for the 7 conferences of 10, play conference title games…. Conference champs would be seeded 1-7 in the playoff and would get to host a first round game.
The conference runners up and 2 at-large teams would be seeded 8-16. The best of those next 9 would get to ...

This is actually the best plan I could ever think of. Seven semi-traditional divisions based on the old conferences back in the 1980s and early 1990s… and filling them out to 10 teams with the programs who have since joined the ranks of the Power leagues.
The SEC, Big 10, and PAC essentially go ...
re: Rank your school's rivals
Posted by AUTiger789 on 4/24/24 at 9:40 pm
1. Bama
2. Georgia
3. LSU- this could change in the coming years as we will no longer play them annually, but within the last 10-15 years this rivalry surpassed Florida due to us no longer playing UF often enough and because of the quality of the games we’ve had against LSU.
4. Florida- wit...

re: Would you accept Notre Dame in the SEC?

I feel like the good old days are long gone and are never coming back.
I feel like it’s better to just embrace the change and get to the end goal as quickly as possible so we can get out from this in between model we’ve been living in.
Two leagues of 24 teams. NFL type model with playoffs bas...

It’s interesting that of the 26 most historically relevant programs dating back to 1936, the SEC and BIG10 are obviously dominating.
The new SEC will have the #2, #5, #7, #9, #10, #11, #12, #15, #19, #21, #23, and #24 teams. That’s 12/16 ranking in the Top 24.
The BIG10 will have the #1, #3, ...

Notre Dame is the only team I could get excited about adding at this point.
Worth noting I was (and still am) excited about adding TX and OU…. I’m not for adding FSU or Clemson however....

5-loss teams rarely finish ranked. Usually when they do it’s typically not a blue blood… it seems to be teams that played an incredibly difficult schedule and likely had a w...

[quote]This should probably be adjusted. FSU didn't field a football team until 11 years after the inception of the AP poll. It's hard to be relevant before you even exist.[/quote]
I would counter that by pointing out there is no truer definition of irrelevancy as being non-existent....

Yeah there is a lot of this probably in these numbers. Take this past season: #1 Michigan and #25 Liberty both are deemed relevant by finishing ranked. Does this mean Liberty is equal to Michigan? No. But Liberty was certainly relev...

It’s literal data. If you don’t like the numbers, you don’t like historical facts.
Penn State has never gone longer than six seasons of finishing unranked. The only other programs that can say that are Alabama, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and USC…. Not even...
College Football Historical Relevancy Rankings
Posted by AUTiger789 on 4/23/24 at 11:23 am
This is not a ranking of the “Best” or “Most Accomplished” programs. This is a ranking of how common it is for a program to be relevant at any given point since the inception of the AP Poll (1936).
A team is considered relevant for each season if they finished ranked in the last AP Poll.
