re: 11–1 Debate: Oregon vs SEC (Ole Miss/TAMU).. Conf Depth?
Posted by Ghost of Colby on 12/7/25 at 5:22 am to AggnHou
There are a lot of good teams in the SEC, but in a 16 team conference, there’s room for plenty of bad teams also.
Both A&M and Ole Miss played a lot of those bad teams. Both had 7-1 conference records, but 5 of those wins were against really bad teams, and I’m not including LSU.
A&M’s best conference win: Missouri
A&M’s second best conf win: LSU
Ole Miss’s best win: Oklahoma
Ole Miss’s second best win: LSU
A&M’s biggest resume booster was a non-conference game.
Ole Miss’s blowout over Tulane is more impressive than any of their SEC wins outside of the OU game

re: Miami lost AT HOME to Louisville

I guess we’re supposed to pretend Louisville is awful.
That’s with three very close loses, including two losses in OT.
And they beat James Madison, so if Miami gets in, then Louisville would have two wins against playoff teams. :rotflmao:

re: How did Duke manage to get into a conference championship?
Posted by Ghost of Colby on 12/6/25 at 3:03 pm to LeadingTiger
No idea. The tie-breakers must be crazy because they also avoided most of the good teams in the conference:
Miami, Pitt, Louisville, SMU, plus Notre Dame.
They lost to the only two good teams they played: Georgia Tech and Miami.
They also played NC State in a game outside of ACC play, but lost that that one also.

Jena beats Union Parish 30-6. First time they’ve ever played for a state championship. Will face Sterlington in the finals.
These were clearly the two best teams in that division. I think both teams are really good, but Sterlington is special.
Jena is capable of winning the game, but I also wouldn’t be surprised is Sterlington wins by 20+ points.

They have their own indoor practice facility.
Haynesville Shale money has rewarded their success with nice facilities, especially for a town of its size and location.
re: Was Glen Dorsey the last 5-star DT that lived up to the recruiting hype at LSU?

Michael Brockers was a stud.
He was the first name to come to mind, but he was a mid-4 star, and redshirted his freshman year.
His 2009 recruiting class is full of hits and misses at DL.
Elite prospects:
Chris Davenport 5*
Sam Montgomery 4*
Josh Downs 4*
Second tier blue chip prospects:
Barkevious Mingo 4*
Micheal Brockers 4*
Next level:
Bennie Logan 3*
Unicorns:
Akiem Hicks
Chris Davenport was a huge disappointment, but that class was loaded with talent across the defensive line.
re: Sloan frontrunner to become Kentucky OC
Posted by Ghost of Colby on 12/4/25 at 2:51 pm to finchmeister08
Stein was supposedly hiring Justin Burke from UTSA.
Stein and Burke played together at Louisville and coached together at Texas and UTSA. Burke took over as OC at UTSA when Stein left for Oregon.
I don’t know what happened with Justin Burke to Kentucky. It’s odd for the hire to fall through since Stein and Burke know each other so well.
It’s equally odd for Stein to choose Joe Sloan as OC. They’ve never worked together, and Sloan is coming off a tough season, especially calling plays. Will Stein has a lot of upside, but play-calling isn’t one of his strengths.

Has the one last week in Tyler, Texas been posted?
LINK
A 23-year old about to graduate college was pet sitting three dogs. She was playing with them in the back yard, when she was attacked.
A deputy responding saw her laying motionless in the backyard. He was then attacked when rushing to her aid. He shot one dog, and the other two ran back inside.
The last update I saw was that a judge signed off on euthanizing the other two.

re: Chiefs-Cowboys Thanksgiving day game had a record 57.230 million viewers

Always suspicious of these ratings numbers.
This game beats the previously most-viewed regular season game in the history of the league by over 1/3? How is that even possible?
Nielsen recently overhauled their entire ratings process, primarily to more “accurately” account for streaming and Out-of-Home (OOH) viewers.
Sports viewership has been the biggest beneficiaries. Ratings across almost all leagues and sports have seen a significant boost, primarily due to OOH viewership, that the includes anyone at watch parties, bars, restaurants, a friend’s house, etc.
Most of the OOH viewers are based on estimates and algorithms. Very curious how Nielsen tabulated Thanksgiving viewership, because it is a singular and unique day for TV viewing.
