The problem for women is men are smart and learn. They have learned over the last 15 years that a lot of progressive women don’t view marriage the same as conservative women. Hence, men have simply decided to not marry them. Sure, they’ll date them and bang them but they aren’t entering a legal contract where they lose half their stuff when the woman decides to end it. And by the time these same women realize the progressive dream is a fairytale in their mid to late 30’s it’s too late for kids and men no longer yearn for them.

It’s actually pretty awesome and the pendulum will swing back at some point or the bloodlines for these women will end. Sure, it probably does suck for a normal dude in a major city who wants to find a life mate but these men are adaptable and will just go the other way which is to stay single and just bang as many as he can without fear of losing his life savings.

This thread is interesting and exactly what we all knew would happen. 5% of fanbases hate that their domination days are over and 95% of fanbases love it.

The 95% finally figured out that the NCAA was NEVER going to punish cheating by the bagmen so they simply made bagmen legal. The portal was just like ice cream on top of cake for the 95%.

The sport is healthier than ever as more teams are now having meaningful November’s and Decembers. Those Bama fans who are clinging to this myth that college football had the greatest regular season because a team could lose on September 4th and their season was over simply refuse to look at the big picture of the sport and not just your team,

Sure, Bama could run thru Sept and Oct and their fans knew they would have meaningful games when the weather turned cold because they simply had deep bagman pockets. But a lot of college fans tuned out by Oct 1st when their team already had 2 losses and automatically relegated for the next 3 months. Those fans now have hope and will fill seats.

Bama and UGA and Ohio State should still be solid programs but their easy paths are over. The more we get into this new era the less these 7th-10th graders care about their past of domination and that will start to impact recruiting.

The SEC guys know their dominance is over which is why they love to talk about the past. I guess I could point out my team has more SEC championships than most current SEC teams and we haven’t been in the SEC in 60 years. But that would be stupid because no one cares about the past. That’s the problem current SEC fans have. They want to talk about the past when the BIG has won the last two Natties in a completely different era than 5 years ago. A playoff has eliminated the biased polls and NIL has leveled the talent. This is where we are and the SEC hasn’t lived up to the hype under this new system.

Since you guys LOVE to talk about the past didn’t ND beat the SEC champ last playoff? According to you guys that should get them a free pass to a 1 seed for the next years because no one can beat an SEC team let alone their Champion without essentially being an NFL team.

I don’t think this stuff is intentional. I just think a lot of refs are out of shape and incompetent. But I don’t blame them because it’s a part time gig and these guys have real jobs and real families and probably travel in Friday night late, get little sleep and then have to perform in front of thousands with cameras all over the place.

They need to be professionalized including physical fitness tests and age limits.

If you ain’t cheating you ain’t trying. Folks are mad at Michigan because they had a system that actually worked unlike many who paid players under the table only to see a lot of those players not pan out or get fat. That’s why I love NIL - so many teams are just wasting money on players. I look at Auburn who bought my teams WR. We haven’t missed a beat and Auburn wasted money and the player is now living in obscurity. I love it all.

No it’s not. It’s just a game. Sure, to Michigan it’s their Super Bowl but Ohio State doesn’t care. They have bigger goals. And I’m a GT guy who gets to play a Super Bowl every Thanksgiving which is because we are the lesser team. Only the nobodies live for 1 game a year.

The winner of a rivalry game will celebrate for one night and then move on unless the6 have nothing to move on to.

If anyone uses a poll to determine anything then they deserve what they get in life. These are the same pollsters who had Clemson and FSU ranked highly and about 10 other teams. Polls are a relic to the past kinda like SEC Natties. Just kidding. The playoffs are a crapshoot and having 15 teams ranked by a biased system won’t help the mid level SEC teams win in a playoff system. Maybe you should talk to Sankey about getting back to the BCS and convince the committee it should be the top 2 SEC teams invited each year. This way those worthless teams like Michigan and Ohio State can’t win a playoff like they have been.

Who cares if OSU would go undefeated with an SEC schedule? You keep saying that like it means anything. In the old days of bowl matchups maybe that’s a valid argument. But today it means nothing because we have a playoff. And Ohio St (just like Texas and probably UGA) would make the playoff no matter what conference they were in.

Y’all also said Texas wouldn’t do anything in the SEC. They were in the SEC Champ game in year 1 and have 1 SEC loss this year. Texas is 11-2 since joining the SEC and these same posters said they’d be irrelevant.

No one cares about all these “what if’’s“. The playoffs are always the proving ground in every sport. That it took college football 120 years to get here is ridiculous. But we are here and now and the only thing that really matters is how Sankey and Pettiti can convince the committee to include more of their teams to sway the odds.

Guys,
This is where the past meets the future. Most of us grew up in a college football world where you literally had to convince sports editors and writers to vote for your team and for bowl chairmen to pick you for bowls. That is why the major off shoot of college football is another sport called - selling your team/conference. I’m one of you. I’m 55 and a southern homer. But I also realize our favorite off shoot sport of arguing is no longer needed or valid because we have a 12 team playoff. And soon a 16 team and then 24 team playoff. It’s guys like us who argue for the sake of arguing. It doesn’t matter because all these teams will play.

Who cares whcih conference is stronger or weaker. Did it help UGA last year when they actually had to play Notre Dame? Did a weak schedule hurt Michigan 2 years ago when they ran over Bama? Or when Ohio State won last year?

You ever notice how no other sport has this incessant arguing? Because the games will be played on the field for all to watch. The Bills beat the Chiefs yesterday and it means nothing because we all know they will play again in a sub arctic game in January where it actually matters.

The past 30 years has ZERO baring on anything. The entire sport has changed with NIL, the portal, and a playoff. All that matters is which teams execute in individual playoff games. Nothing in August, or September, or October mattered. Bama losing to FSU meant nothing. Bama beating UGA meant nothing, Ohio St beating Texas meant nothing,

We are all gonna watch a series of playoff games determine a champion and no words or arguments will do anything to affect the outcome. Once the games are completed the to the winner goes the spoils of smack talking.
