The southland and west coast to a lesser extent have really taken over the sport since the portal and NIL. Nebraska and Ohio State are getting some token acknowledgement at the low end of the rankings, but things have changed.
This is coming from left field if not click bait.
Given the conference revenue sharing, it’s tough to see how Utah would bring anywhere near a full equal share’s worth to the BG10. A fractional share might work. They built a nice brand the past couple decades.
I've never been to either a Texas nor TAMU game, but sure would love to do both. Especially a TX at TAMU game just for the weirdness. In my mind, the tailgate lots would be wafting heaving with wonderful BBQ smoke.
I'll say it. The Bank's concession wait (nowadays) is better than US Bank. At least in the commoner seat areas. Concessions in the beautiful people areas are OK with both.
I read the X post and did an "oh boy" in my head. I then read that the post was referencing a song title and and wasn't a derogatory statement towards people. Another "oh boy" still rang in my head.
The conference record by coach makes it clear the Gophs are still operating under the Ganglehoff/Pioneer Press curse. No doubt about it. How do they exit the curse?
This won't happen IMO. The Power conferences would split off into a separate division before they allowed much weaker G5 teams to push them out of the playoffs like what happens in D3 and even FCS. There's too much money involved.
I like the current playoff set up with 4 conference champ byes and 8 at-larges. The committee could do a better job of seeding IMO, but I still like the set up.
2024 was a weird year where the ACC champ had 3 losses, the Big 12 champ had 2 losses and Boise had a gawdy record and Heisman...
