2022-2023 College Football Thread

Heh, only tied for last...not too shabby!

Also, when does this "no context" social media stuff go away...this is nothing but context.

[count2infinity]

Yeah... I suppose there's "no context" everything these days, and it all has context. It's weird.

[mikey]

Like if it's like a two second clip of a couple extremely random things...like, remember a video posted here where like this cow was chased by a dog into an in-ground pool and a man on a horse came riding into the shot...you give me three seconds of that, fine, that's no context...

This is total context college football...I don't get the trend...

[RonnieFranchise]

I don’t know about where he has State on that list but that microscope bout to be in tight on Allar.

Pac 12 about to die.

Report just came out from legit reporters that if AZ, ASU and Utah go to the Big XII (which is likely), then the Big 10 will take Oregon, Washington, Cal and Standford.

[mikey]

Oh man, 10 pm Saturday Rutgers games...?!?! That's so much more avoidable than noon while I'm lying on my couch with Gatorade and a breakfast sandwich...

Hello Wazzu? I have the WAC on the line....

[NAN]

PS, FSU pretty much said at their BOT meeting today they are going to fight the ACC legally to get out of the conference.

I pretty much hate college athletics anymore. This conference realignment is just over the top now.

[Dickie Dunn]

These schools really cut off their nose to spite their face. Gonna get a couple million dollars more a season while having no shot at winning

[Orlando Penguin]

No one cares about anything except money. I'm sure those Oregon baseball players will be looking forward to their cross-country trip to play Maryland, Rutgers, and Penn State...oh and you'll be sitting in 35B from Seattle to BWI. Everyone looks at this through the football lens but at what point do you take all of this cash and actually invest in your athletes? Heaven forbid they actually benefit from all of the hard work they put in to even give these schools a chance to get attention from other conferences. It's a freakin joke.

[Nuge]

Seems like this won’t end until it’s just the big ten, sec, and the leftovers. The question will be how many teams will each expand to?

[RonnieFranchise]

It's stupid. Just make these asinine conferences for football and maybe basketball and leave the rest in regional conference arrangements. How many athletes on the average college track and field teams? Hundreds? Yeah let's ship em around the country for the entire spring semester.

I thought it was stupid when they added Omaha to the Big East but I hadn't seen nothin' yet.

[mikey]

It's actually the perfect plan. When badminton's travel bill gets too high for them to be palatable, they can justify cutting the sport...thus, just keeping the revenue generators...

This is from 2011. Lots of interesting what ifs tucked in there.

[CBear3]

Nobody 10 years ago would have picked the PAC-12 as the group that was going to die, and to have the Big XII be the one striking the death blow is an even bigger nut punch coming from a conference that's been canalized by losing 6 of it's members in the last decade.

[RonnieFranchise]

So the Big XII then would be what?

TCU
Houston
Okie State
KSU
Kansas
Cincinnati
UCF
Arizona
Arizona St
Utah
Colorado
Iowa State
BYU
WVU
Texas Tech
Baylor

I know TCU made the championship last year, prime's coming to Colorado, OSU KSU and Utah have been really competitive recently, but this group's not really striking fear into my heart if I'm the SEC or B1G.

[Nuge]

I can see in the not too distant future the big ten and sec expanding to 20ish schools and agreeing to just host their own national championship game between the winners of each conference. Cut everyone else out and split the profits just with each other.

[NAN]

Oregon and Washington to the BIG 10 official.

Which means Arizona, ASU and Utah to Big XII will be next.

[RonnieFranchise]

College athletics, doing its part to accelerate the melting of the polar ice caps.

[willeyeam]

imo the ACC can steal WVU, cinci, maybe OK State and TCU or something and be the clear third

WVU, Cincinnati, UCF will go to the ACC after Clemson and FSU go to the SEC and UNC goes to the Big Ten.
