Whenever something like this happens, it's never people thinking that Oregon is exactly one spot better, it's generally the two being further apart and a few more people thinking Oregon is three or four places better.

It's still funny though.

Ohio State won again and now has the record for the most consecutive regular season wins in Big Ten history whatever that's worth. I think a Ohio State Iowa Big Ten Championship with the winner going to the playoffs would be huge for the conference especially since most years on division is usually bad.

30 consecutive regular season wins is the new record for any conference, whatever that's worth when you don't count the conference championship game. Last week also happened to be Meyer's 50th game at OSU and the best 50-game start in the modern era.

quote:

Best 50-Game Starts at FBS School
1. 49-0-1 - Fielding Yost, Michigan (1901-1905)
2. 48-0-2 - Gil Dobie, Washington (1908-1915)
3. 47-3-0 – Urban Meyer, Ohio State (2012-15)
T4. 46-4-0 – Chris Petersen, Boise State (2006-09)
T4. 46-4-0 – Dennis Erickson, Miami (1989-92)
6. 45-2-3 – Robert Neyland, Tennessee (1926-31)
7. 45-3-2 – Barry Switzer, Oklahoma (1973-77)
8. 44-3-3 – Knute Rockne, Notre Dame (1918-23)
T9. 44-6-0 – Dan Hawkins, Boise State (2001-04)
T9. 44-6-0 – Larry Coker, Miami (2001-04)

He's got a good shot at winning 50 games in his first four seasons.

He's guilty of the crime of not being Nick Saban or Urban Meyer.

Unfortunately he shares a division with one of those guys and can't beat him, ever. He also can't beat Bret Bielema either, apparently. And his teams only have even marginal QB play one year out of every five or so. His bowl game record in the past six years is 2-4 and outside of the cotton bowl win the teams have looked listless and unprepared for the bowl games. He's a good coach with a glaring blind spot for how to build a modern offense, and that's not enough to compete anymore.

If only there were a way to know what Lane Kiffin would do as head coach as a team loaded with great talent.

Also the SEC West is loving stupid. Every team in there is throwing just absurd amounts of money at its coach/program and bringing in these great recruiting classes (I guess maybe less so with Miss St, but Mullen is making a ton too) and every year one of the fanbases is gonna be like WHY ARE WE SPENDING ALL THIS MONEY SO YOU CAN FINISH LAST WITH ALL THESE FOUR STARS UNACCEPTABLE because it is literally impossible for one of them to not finish last, unless they're Alabama because Alabama.

Ohio State sucks poo poo and there's no way they'd put a team with one loss at the top of the rankings with five undefeated teams left, especially with four of those in Power 5 conferences.

I honestly think these schools are just trying to get ready for Saban to retire so they can grab on to the West. I wish the conference was a little more evenly divided because while it rocks watching 5 legitimate title contender teams play week in and week out, it kind of makes the championship game a bit of a wet fart.

Granted, Florida is on the rise, as is UT. Georgia is Georgia, but I have a feeling South Carolina is going to be a toilet bowl for the next couple of years, as is Mizzou. Vandy and Kentucky are what they are and will never change.

I think he is a big ox of a man with a big heart for his players but a problem of saying stupid things when he talks. He may be stupid, I don't know. I think that he makes good coordinator hires and knows how to self-promote. Every single game I see that stupid media guide with the offensive line on the front. The thing is, it is allowing him to recruit the same caliber of offensive line that LSU and Alabama recruit which really is helpful. It helps protect shaky QB play and allows a depleted running back corp to still make yards. It's the right approach to building a program in the SEC. You either go with the LSU/Bama mold or you try to spread it out and gas the defense.
