COLLEGE Football Is Almost Upon Us

[noharleyyet]

The real Oky St Cowboys the real UT get together this coming Saturday..Macks' Miseries redux

The real UT and T Tech Thanksgiving Day....hopefully a tryptophan cure

The real UT and Baylor on Pearl Harbor Day....Briles gets a raise.

Wyo- I haven't beat the NDSU drum for awhile

I am enjoying this ride while it lasts. From the school of "using stats when they bend your way", NDSU is now 30th in the Sagarin rankings, with the list of the next ten (31-40) including Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, Miami, and Boise State. FYI- Nevada only has one more FBS win than NDSU and we've only played (and won) a single FBS game this year. I think that any one of the top ten FCS teams could win the MWC this year.

I hope that Florida State wins out because a Nole v Tide title game would be a fun one in my opinion.

You have every right ot beat the drum. I believe that NDSU has more BCS conference wins than KU the last 3 years. They are good team. I still give KSU fans crap about getting beat by the Bison this year. Drives them crazy.

I am not sure if NDSU would win nearly as many games in the PAC, B1G, Big 12, ACC, or SEC but we will never know unless NDSU makes the jump from FCS to FBS.

I agree on the FSU vs Bama game. Although I am hoping for FSU vs Baylor to be honest. Will be interesting to see how it all works out.

Will be interesting to see how the Horns handle the next 3 games. Tech does not seem to be as good after getting abused by OU, OSU, and KSU. They are getting beat up.

OSU is likely better than UT but they always choke against UT and the game is in Austin. I'd say it's a toss up.

UT vs Baylor, Baylor should blow them out and finish Macks career at UT for good. Actually kinda fun watching Baylor win so many games. They were a constant door mat and now have turned the tables on everybody. Could not have happened to a better coach.

The above stats include not just the best SEC team's performance but all SEC teams in regular season and the top 6 - 8 teams in bowls. If you pull stats for when the SEC team goes into the game ranked in the Top 10...will be a different, and more relevant story. Championships are about elite teams not overal conference depth.

Bama vs FSU looks to be a fantastic game on paper. I prefer it to Bama beating down some speedster team like Oregon yet again. Speedster ball is fun, more plays, more scoring. Take the best speedster and play against the best pro-style and the SEC will keep winning titles until the cows come home.

Briles gets contract thru 2023. Rumored 45 million, Smart administrative move.

+1. Baylor has come a long way for a little bible school. I believe they have dumped over 250 million into facilities in the last few years. No they have a solid BB, WBB, and FB program.

Curious to hear the buyout number....yes he deserves it. One of Coach Briles's key assistants going back to his Stephenville High tenure is a friend of mine...hope he's getting commensurate dough...he's put some offensive linemen into the NFL as high picks.

...wondering if Sumlin's compensation gets 'restructured' or if he heads to USC.

I was just looking on the Baylor board for the buyout numbers. They are throwing around numbers from 8-20 million.

Hey TLC, based on WYO's logic, I am beginning to suspect he is a sister to my first ex-wife.....

Go Illini!

Go Baylor!

Stumble FSU !

Much as I hate to, I predict the Vols don't meet their season goal of becoming bowl eligible....Vandy will beat them....

They are bowl eligible.....porcelain

...so is the real ut

 

[TOM IN TENNESSEE]

Maybe we can play each other in the Toilet Bowl!
You do know your Coach at that other ut is a Tennessean? Are they gonna keep him and let him become the winningest ut coach or kick him out?

 

[noharleyyet]

I think he's done.

 

[TOM IN TENNESSEE]

Me too....shame....

Nice to see you can't handle any facts and add nothing to the discussion but white trash comments about your brothers , dogs, cousins, ex wife. Keep the personal insults coming. Your IQ is shining through once again. Pretty clear why you have more than 1 ex wife. Keep up the good work.

So now you are a Baylor fan??? That is funny. Root against OSU all you want, they will still win more than your Vols.

Probably should stick with Vols and Illinois that way you don't' get used to winning more than half your games.

Keep on living vicariously through Bama, an SEC tradition. SEC, SEC, SEC.

Wyo....Baylor/Cowboys....thoughts?

...should be one of the better games....could be the best. I was impressed with both defenses last weekend...and Baylor's offensive depth. Hard for me to guage OSU's offense against a pitiful effort by the Longhorns.

I just hope it is like the first half of the Baylor Tech game. That was exciting to watch.

I don't want to get too optimistic but I do think OSU has a chance to win the game. Our offense is not quite as powerful but we can score points and our D is better than anything Baylor has faced all year. We will get some turnovers that will help us out a bunch. Should be a great game. Nice to see ESPN in town for gameday as well. 4th visit to Stillwater.
