NCAA / AP rankings today

True. But...

Also beat Alabama for first time in forever and 5 other ranked opponents to include smashing LSU in their own house.

Getting smacked down by SC really stings.

 

Bama made it in one year, and didn't play in their conf championship, and they still won the National Championship.

 

We beat 4 ranked opponents, and still ended up with a 6-6 record. LoL

 

So did Florida when they lost in conference championship game. I dont agree with it at all.

 

Im just so sick of NCAA favoring Ohio St

 

I do ....if they go on to win the National Championship....IMO...that's says they are, or were worthy. Now the ones that don't....Well then....I agree. LoL

 

Liked your post…esp the Harbaugh

 

It dampens championship game for me to see a team that just lost play in the championship game.

 

I get it though. Trying to keep the northern states relevant in college football....so I do get it.

 

We will just have to agree to disagree. Like I said if they win it all.....isn't that proff they belong???

 

It sucks tho dude, very unfair to other teams. NCAA basketball tournament is the absolute best, anyone can win it. Same teams every year in college football, no chance for a little school to ever play to have a chance to win it.
Remember a few years back an undefeated Utah team was denied? They steamrolled Alabama in their bowl game that season.

 

Means nothing. Did You forget how many Bama players didn't even play in that game so they could get ready for the NFL. A regular bowl game means nothing to most teams....especially Alabama.
They let Cincinnati in last year...., and Washington(somebody's) in a few years back.....for what....so they could get not just beat , but embarrassed. Hell Cincinnati scored a whopping 6 points, and Bama was playing backups in the late 3rd quarter. IMO....that is terrible TV.

 

Yeah, the season really went downhill for the hogs and ended on a sour note after a really great start. Hopefully you guys can win a bowl game and finish on a higher note.

 

Jarnigan is a Knoxville guy so you could say he's biased but hard to argue against this.

 

STD.. had to bring that up

 

Sorry. LoL.
I don't have much to be thankful for from the Razorbacks this year. So I gotta take what I can get. LoL
I promise.....I wish We could have ended the season like SC did.
Also outside of the Hogs....I think SC has the coolest emblem/logo

 

The portal has changed everything, Look at what it did for USC. They didn't
develop that team. They were smart in using the portal.

 

Agreed. That and the money from NIL. Still have to be able to coach and scheme, just ask Jimbo Fisher, lol.

 

NIL has legalized paying top recruits to their program. Quinn Ewers got a $1.4 mil to to to Ohio State, then dumped them for Texas, now his driving a new Aston Martin thanks to deal with them. Texas RB Bijan Robinson drives his own Lamborghini thanks to local dealership. Wonder what Eric Dickerson is thinking about what he could have gotten legally.

The gimmick to get this in was 'pay the kids, they are making the college globs of money'. The truth is ot was for alumni. Can you imagine what the Manning kid will get signing with Texas.

 

I think he was in second best player paid in the NIL college football deals once he went to USC, though that can change quickly. KnoxVegasSteel summed it up best, the portal and the money from NIL.

USC quarterback Caleb Williams landed his third NIL partnership, just weeks after committing to the Trojans. Williams adds Fanatics Authentic to the list, alongside partnerships with Beats By Dre and grooming brand, Faculty.

 

I tip my cap (LOL) to USC knowing their needs and addressing them thru the portal. I believe they signed a God awful amount of players. The rich will continue to get richer
those with large staffs will go thru this portal and Identify the players they feel
will bring them into expanded playoff contention. I hope Pitt is one of them.

 

Well with USC losing
They just got in
BS but better than Alafknbama

 

How is it Michigan is the only team not playing a top 25 team in the conference championships. LoL. Makes Me laugh.

 

Guess what if TCU loses both Ohio State and Alabama in.. same **** every year

 

College football has been this way forever… some years you have an undisputed championship game, but most of them are mythical.
