Sorry guys

Strange that he would want to come back to a team who just fired him. And their defense wasn't good this year.

Guess we will see what he does.

 

[GVol1966]

Move to the big 10

Wrong. Still gonna be the same team that commits a bunch of penalties, misses a lots of tackles and plays like Dr. Jekyll one game and like Mr hide the next.

If yall can’t get over what conference a team is in and actually recognize a good team then you’re not very football savvy.

TT and IU may not be in the SEC but they are better than 90% of the teams and possibly even or better with the other 10%.

 

[GVol1966]

I think the offense is a little better but the defense is not as good. JMO

Maybe. Looked pretty damn good tonight.

[Weezer]

Sorry guys

Heupel is going to wait until all the good DCs have jobs, then he can justify keeping Banks.

 

[volbeast33]

I’m not saying they aren’t good, but I’d say 2 or 3 losses in SEC.

They needed a last second play to beat Penn State and beat Iowa by 5. They would lose 2-3 games in the SEC.

I’m sure he lost sleep over it when he was winning every year.

 

[KB5252]

Maybe. Looked pretty damn good tonight.

I'm not sure the Ohio St offense is elite. The defense yes.

Replace Alabama with Miami and nailed it. (Although not really, Vandy should in. lol )

But like Heather says, they won’t leave bama out

 

[volbeast33]

Year 2 and you take Indiana to #1 and a big ten championship. Why can’t we be this good???

I don't think we will ever win a Big Ten Championship.

 

[UTK]

I don't think we will ever win a Big Ten Championship.

Although we could win about 20 straight ACC titles. Time to make the move lol

 

[Freak]

Those of you having a "jumping" issue that @SugarCC mentioned, is it still happening?

 

[knoxvol52]

They needed a last second play to beat Penn State and beat Iowa by 5. They would lose 2-3 games in the SEC.

So what? Indiana won the games what the hell does it matter... I swear , you guys can't give any other conference teams any credit.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Immediately returning to the school that just fired you 10 weeks ago has to be incredibly awkward.

Probably never sold his house.

 

[GVol1966]

They needed a last second play to beat Penn State and beat Iowa by 5. They would lose 2-3 games in the SEC.

UGA needed OT to beat us , beat UF by 4 ,
Needed to team up with the refs to beat Auburn, beat GA tech by 7.

Point: cherry picking

The above doesn’t make UGA look so great
And I’d be confident that IU could do better against each of those teams.

But UGA is probably a top 5 team.
So is Indiana. Not likely losing 2-3 sec games.

JMO, but Ohio State should drop to 4. Indiana at 1, Georgia at 2, and Texas Tech at 3. Georgia and Texas Tech won their last games, Ohio State did not.

4-8 should be Oregon, Ole Miss, TAMU, and Oklahoma in some order.

9-12 should be Notre Dame, Miami, Tulane, and James Madison.

At 3 losses, Bama should justifiably be out. They have a bad loss to FSU and were blown out in the CG. If they get in, it's politics, not earned. The only teams that have a real argument over Miami are Vandy and possibly Utah, also both with just 2 losses. Again, this is all jmo, but 3 losses should put you out.

And, FTR, I think automatic qualifiers are stupid. Tulane and James Madison are only in because of it. They shouldn't be.

I also think the ACC should fix their conference. Stop with divisions and just have the two best teams play for the conference championship. It should have been Miami and UVA. Duke winning was fun, but they didn't deserve the spot to begin with IMO.

There are a lot of simple things that could be done to help fix the whole playoff mess, but politics prevent that from happening. Politics, IMO, are hurting the game.

NYC is legit.

I could never live here. I would kill someone.

But the buildings, food, drinks, shows, etc. are top notch. My fam has had a blast. My girls want to come back in February on break lol. Rockettes blew my mind

If anyone needs recommendations or a place to stay, let me know.

Marriott Marquee is great and we had our best Christmas there as a family and was there on Christmas Day. The Benjamin for Christmas dinner and went to Brooklyn Tab on Christmas Day and heard the choir since that Christmas was a Sunday. Best Christmas ever.

Nick needs a dictionary.

 

[GVol1966]

Don’t know about elite, but every bit as good as UGA or Bama .
O line , good, QB good, RB Good, Tate and Smith good as any Duo in the country

 

[volbeast33]

Everything school! LOL

Trivia night.

Who is about to be the first 3-loss in history to be socially promoted into the CFP?

Who will be the only CFP team ever to finish their season on a -3 rushing yards game and a beatdown?

Who said in 2022 about CFP selection, I think we should look at "how are they playing at the end of the season. How are they playing at the present?"

Who was advanced into the CFP over the only undefeated team ever to be turned away by the CFP?
