We dodged a bullet with that one.
He'd probably go golfing when he was supposed to be reviewing game tape of potential playoff teams.
I think he's still on it. This is the CFP Management committee (all the conference commisioners) not to be confused with the CFP Selection commitee or CFP Imaginary Girlfriend Investigation committee.
Oh, okay. Carry on.
He has no incentive to act sensibly as long as the scumbags around him cover up his crimes. I see no reason to believe that will change.

Well sorry for actually having the instate rival be inside the conference, in the same division, where winning or losing the game actually counts.
Hey man, not our fault Bobby Dodd bitched until GA Tech left the SEC back in the day. And you're kind of wrong, it matters when we lose to GA Tech, doesn't matter when we win. Everybody shrugs.

Heard about the Winston thing...::facepalm::
This would be more impactful if his instate-but-out-of-conference rival wasn't CLEMSON.
Defamation, bro. He only took the legs.Heard about the Winston thing...::facepalm::

But it's college football, every game matters.
there's "matters" and then there's "matters"
We have to share money with these guys, have to partake in conference voting with these guys. Face it, the rest of the SEC is too chickenshit to go to 9 conference games, because of the fear of more losses, and the fear of not having equal amounts of home games.
Well, at least he wasn't actually arrested. Will pay Publix the $32 back and has to do some community service this week or it will go back to the State. You better believe Mike and Jimbo will have a small army of undergrads watching him like a hawk, driving him there, etc. to make sure he gets his hours.
Too hard to get an embeddable link on my phone but oh my god this one killed me.

Fair enough on the bolded.
On the latter, would you want to do 9 SEC games plus a mandatory non conference game with a Big 5 team?

I can't believe he would exhibit such shellfish behavior!
I'm not sure which is worse, being made fun of by Spurrier, or patronized by him:
Long way to 2015 NSD, but I really hope Trent Thompson ends up signing with UGA. Would be nice to get the consensus #1 prospect, and obviously getting a DT that's as college ready as him would be huge.

SEC Network early schedule announced.
Not sure if it's possible to format this correctly, but I'll try to separate things some. Just hit the link if you want to read them cleanly.

Don't make me bring up the fact that Washington opens up with Hawaii and Eastern Washington. Don't make me. ;p
Hawaii is no cupcake. Ask Bama.

I think we should go ahead and pencil in THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY BUCKEYES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FIGHTING MAURICE CLARETT OF OHIO BUCKEYES in for a playoff spot this year. That schedule is a fucking joke.
Oh man, I just noticed that you bolded Kentucky on that list. I would say "Ether'd" but I don't think it counts since we have no UK football fans and they'd admit it as well. Though honestly, with UF going 4-8 last year, I don't know that that one's a given.
Edit: woo pig sooey, just noticed you bolded Arky as well. Lawd

Not sure if this makes more sense in this thread or the NFL one, but I found this interesting:
How geography affects the NFC West with regards to the NFL Draft and UDFA.
I remember people thinking the USC to Seattle pipeline would be big, but the Stanford to San Francisco pipeline has been even bigger.

Wouldn't that be directly correlated between Harbaugh going from Stanford to San Francisco and his players following him after college?

Navy,UC,Va tech are all pretty decent. Schedule starts ramping up this year, although I can already see in 2018 when Oklahoma is shit and we have to play them getting that tossed in our face.
You've also got that Kent State game in there. They're shit, Navy is shit, VA Tech could give some problems. But that B1G schedule is just poor, it's obviously not OSU's fault that everyone else sucks, but almost everyone else really sucks. Toughest game on the schedule is Michigan State. Obviously they've been pretty good.
Kent State's their equivalent of an FCS/buy in game(its like knocking your schedule for Charleston Southern). Their B1G schedule would be fine if Michigan and Penn State were underperforming as they have been. Their crossover games will also get more difficult once parity scheduling occurs.
Man, Rutgers' schedule this year is kinda terrifying compared to the one we had last year (to be fair we did play three first round potential qbs in Carr/Bortles/Bridgewater last year).

Kent st is shit, but every team has that one OOC game thats complete and utter garbage. I wouldnt say Navy is shit, theyre a decent team, past 2 years won 8 and 9 games. Like you said we cant control conference teams, but our OOC scheduling has been getting better, we have pretty much one big time team per year on the schedule until 2022.

Fuck the SEC network. fuckers
Put the UCF/Mizzou game on there. They've been trying to advertise hard in Whorelando too. I'll just go to a sports bar that day.

To be fair, in the future you do kinda control your inconference scheduling due to parity crossovers.

Vince Young signed with the Browns. Somewhere, Sto0ge just shed a single tear of joy, while bucknut just ripped out a few eyelashes.

Personally, I'd be good with a 9 game SEC schedule and a requirement that every non-conference game has to be from a "Big 5" conference. But I'm crazy, and as I've said before, screw championships, I wanna see good games.
Of course it doesn't really work out like that, a cupcake game is good for helping develop some of the younger players and a lot of those teams need the money they are paid for the (assumed, lol Florida) L.
I think buck is a Bengals fan.

he's a bungles fan? damn I don't know Ohio geography. Ask me if Cinci or Cleveland is closer to C-Bus and I would take a wild stab
Bucknuticus, one of the partners of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce has the misfortune of being a Browns fan.

crab legs go for $18 a pound? No wonder he took the 5 finger discount
Ah, maybe I was thinking of Bertram being a Bengals fan?
I think Bert's a Browns fan, and Buck's a Bengals fan.
Why does every thing in Ohio have to start with a B?
Another QB leaving GA Tech. Backup Ty Griffin.
I just don't think Navy can compete with tOSU or any top BCS team. They are triple option though, right? That could make the first half uncomfortable for fans.
And it's Jawjuh. We played Clempson last year as well, this year we have them at home and without Tajh Boyd or Sammy Watkins. But it'll still be a tough game. Lines opened this week (!) and Georgia opened as a 7 point favorite. Next year our OOC will be poor. I think the year after they are trying to get something big for OOC lined up. Discussions are going in right now with some big programs so hopefully something worked out this summer.

I was looking more at the full picture and at their conference schedule combined with OOC. No Wisconsin there this year, most of the perennial top teams just aren't that good in the conference barring a huge turnaround.

Bert's browns I'm bengals. I'm an outlier in columbus, most people here are browns/steelers fans, even though Cincy is closest to cbus. (2 hours vs Cleveland which is 2.5)

You're saying the Steelers have a bigger fan base in CBus than the Bungles? Thats insane
