Komet posted:If OSU and Michigan leave, which isn't happening, then I think Penn State books it for the ACC. Some fans have been wanting the school to leave the conference for years, which is stupid considering that it's also an academic consortium, but I can't see PSU sticking around with 2/3 power players bolting.

fast cars loose anus posted:I dunno if they never recovered but yes Reggie McNeal came in and beat them in a game that was my first big upset I ever attended in person Still the best game that I've personally been (true that I haven't been to too many). Kyle Field got actually LOUD after there was a chance that OU actually could come back very late in the 4th, but had a penalty on the play. I have never heard it anywhere close to that loud before or sense. Another memory was the end of half Hail Mary by Reggie from like the 50. He ends up on his back tackled after the throw, sits up, sees the receiver reached the goal line, and those both arms up to celebrate the touchdown (and tie game, I think). Crazy to see and hear live.

There is no loving way this is real. Clemson and FSU, maybe; I think FSU has had an open invitation for at least a few years now. But there is no way in hell the SEC is going after Michigan or Ohio State, and even if they did I highly doubt either of them would be the slightest bit interested. If the SEC wants to go to 20 (which I have a hard time believing) then they’d be better off taking OKState and Georgia Tech. Maaaaaybe try to poach NCState and/or UVA if Clemson and/or Georgia Tech don’t work out, but other than that I don’t see a lot of other schools they’d be interested in.

Seriously though what is THIS about?

Also is #Texit trending yet on Twitter, and if not, why not? I. M. Gei fucked around with this message at 03:45 on Jul 24, 2021 |

OU has no reason to leave the Big 12 at all, if UT whipered "hey, we're outta here" OU really would have to tuck its tail between its legs and unwillingly follow along.

Clemson has no reason to go anywhere, they're in a dogshit conference that gives them an automatic playoff spot every year AND they've managed to avoid being tainted by the ACC's poor reputation because they've been such playoff mainstays that they always get the voters' benefit of the doubt. It's the best of both worlds, they'd be dumb to sign up to play more than a couple real games a year. If I were a fan (perish the thought), I'd want them to stay exactly where they are.

That way, just ONCE, they don't get everything their way. I'm a fan of the underdog story

GD_American posted:The amount of relevant stays the same, it's just that more of it is now in the S-E-C Lol no it won't. Oklahoma is not going to become more relevant by leaving behind a power 5 conference it's won five times in a row and Texas is not going to suddenly start being a conference contender after moving to a tougher conference than the one it's been a major factor in for maybe 4 of the 10 whole years I've been watching the sport. They'll be making more money and I'm sure that's all the actual decision makers care about, but the on-field drama and entertainment can only go down. To say nothing of how making the national environment even more obsessed with the SEC further devalues the dozens of teams outside of it.
