I know the trigger finger is probably getting itchy for Nebraska with Frost, but it still essentially seems like a good enough team that’s been exceptionally unlucky. It’s not like other compelling candidates are just lining up for the job. Much like Michigan with Harbaugh, if you can’t make it work with Frost, maybe it’s just not ever going to work.

All evidence seems to indicate that for Coach O, the one year where he had the best team in college football history was the aberration, and all the other seasons where he hasn’t been very successful are the norm.

Seems like poor form and maybe a bad idea for all of these LSU surrogates to fire off their prepared hit pieces when he’s already bought out but still in the building.

That sucks, but honestly speaking OSU is probably the second or third best team in the country right now. If Oregon goes 12-1, I don't think they need to worry about being left out, though. (They're not going 12-1)

Omnikin posted:B1G East is gonna be a bloodbath through the end of the season, poo poo. Like I knew this but looking at the schedules, good luck and godspeed to whoever survives to championship weekend Ohio State is still substantially better than all of them, imo. They might drop one to Penn State/MSU/Michigan, but that’s probably still enough to win the division.

There've been a lot of takes about Rolovich to the tune of "also he sucked anyway", as if that could possibly be assessed 11 games in. David Roth even held up last year's recruiting class- #9 in Pac-12, 60 in FBS- as bad recruiting, even though that's very much in line with much of the past decade. His behavior is certainly a fireable offense, but there's no reason to muddy the waters with poor-faith criticisms of the actual football product.

That’s a curious selection of teams. Even if you’re taking exclusively from the southern C-USA schools, Southern Miss and/or Louisiana Tech seem like stronger additions than Rice. If you put those two in the Sun Belt, these conferences are more or less on even footing Wonder if this means WKU and Marshall are heading to the MAC. Seems like a better prospect than staying in whatever is left of C-USA (which may well be nothing). Also, tough beat for UTEP. General Dog fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Oct 19, 2021 |

I don’t see any reason he won’t coach again within the next 2 or 3 years. Some FCS will certainly take a flyer on him, and he’ll probably be successful. That or he’ll go coach offense somewhere.

So every team except Temple and Navy will be a C-USA alumn, and Temple and USF will be the only members dating back to the bygone days of the Big East (pre-2013).

I don’t know, the AAC lost enough teams that ESPN basically gets to tear up the contract, if I understand correctly. I’m sure they’ll be ahead money-wise, but I don’t see any reason they should be drastically ahead.

Disappointing, if not surprising, that he's taking the litigious route. If he'd just left the money and walked into the sunset without ever explaining himself, there'd at least be an element of- I dunno, I guess I'd call it "heroic nihilism"- to the whole thing.

You heard it here first, folks. Seems logical that Louisiana Tech would be soon to follow. WKU and Marshall to the MAC? I don't know what happens to MTSU, FIU, and Old Dominion. UTEP is probably doomed to wander the Earth alongside New Mexico State. General Dog fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Oct 20, 2021 |

TipTow posted:So will CUSA just collapse at this point? The Sun Belt has been more competitive than them for a few years already. I think it's toast. They'll have seven teams left, and at least three of them are likely to have more appealing options than sticking around and rebuilding the conference with some FCS randos.

The MWC could've had UTEP in a second at any point since the dissolution of the WAC; I don't see much reason to think they'd suddenly want them now. I would think the MAC would take Marshall back in a heartbeat, maybe along with WKU.

LLCoolJD posted:Yeah, the ACC/SEC/Big10/PAC12 have hoovered up teams at the expense of everyone else. Memphis is really the only viable P5 (or P4.5, whatever) promotion candidate left east of the Rockies. Maybe SMU really catches fire or USF gets its act together in the next decade, but they have a ways to go. One intriguing thing about all of this- when the 6+6 playoff format was proposed over the summer, the blanket assumption was, "well, 90% of the time it's going to be the P5 plus the AAC champ." That's out the window now. If the playoff remains at 6 autobids (which isn't at all a safe assumption), the competition for that sixth spot is going to be wide open a lot of years. If I was going to do a "winners and losers of 2021 realignment" clickbait listicle, I think the MWC would actually be one of the biggest winners. They staved off the AAC, didn't lose anything to the Big 12, and they seem to be a fairly safe bet to be the strongest conference in the G5 more often than not. They stayed the same while almost everyone else got worse. General Dog fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Oct 21, 2021 |

Yeah it's great. If we end up with a 6-autobid playoff, we will see a Sun Belt team make it within the first decade. We'll definitely see an MWC team make it, and hell, we may even see a MAC team make it. That's great for the sport.

Even if playoff only settles with 5 autobids, the Big 12 is in extremely good shape. At this point they're going to be miles ahead of the G5 in terms of money and perceived strength.

Unless you are a P5 team with the TV cash or a geographically tight knit G5 like the MAC, these sprawling conferences seem like a long term money loser Haven’t VT and UVa only been in the same conference for like 15 years?
