Just my input from first person experience: new NCAA rules are really strict about 1st and 3rd downs this year. I’m in the Million Dollar Band and we’re no longer allowed to play when the opposing team is on 1st or 3rd down.

57:27 it’s worth noting that Bowman was sharing reps with 2 other QBs the first 3 games of the season. So yes he had a number of interceptions but a number of those came off the receivers hands. He eventually got his timing down against KSU and arguably was the reason they beat OU.

[@johnlee7085]

I think you are mistaken about the amount of new pieces for KU. The retuning production number is not as high as it was last year, but a big chunk of that is Jalon Daniels being hurt most of last year. He’s not returning production statistically, but is a big improvement on the field. Other than that there’s only 3 new starters on O and they’re being replaced by 4*&5* recruits with 3 years of experience in the B2. It’s not quite as good on defense but still only replacing 4 starters. Again one of those is being replaced by a group of 4* recruits. Kansas by 7 or more.

[@rotcoke652]

I liked hearing Cole's thoughts on what he saw from Bama. The speed at linebacker is what stood out to me, but I wanted to hear your thoughts on that game too Josh. Alabama was downright dominant to a level I haven't seen in a few years. WKU gained 8 yards on their last 22 plays, 7 straight 3 and outs. Yards per play difference was 9.23 vs 2.16. There were a lot of blowouts, but I don't think anyone deconstructed their opponent the way Bama did.

[@dustindavis5397]

I’d argue Georgias destruction of Clemson (once they adjusted to their zone D and got the run game going) was equally as impressive but not as dominant. Then again, what else do we expect from these two programs 🤷🏼‍♂️

A conference by conference pairing, 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, … might be far fetched, or it is college basketball. Definitely a strength of CBB.

[@calebbforballin]

This is exactly what I said would happen at FSU after the snub as with these new conference set ups. That snub basically screwed FSU for the long term on recruiting because now every player knows that going to FSU Clemson or Miami or any team from any conference that isn’t the SEC or the big 10 have a significantly lower chance of getting to play on a national level regardless of how good they played or how well their team does in the regular season. That snub was most definitely a message to players “go to SEC or Big 10 teams cause that’s what we’re selling now”. Teams like FSU and Miami, and more recently Clemson, that have a historical historically been able to take on the titans and win regularly now don’t have the ability to draw talent from high school like they did in the past. Now a team like Ole miss, Arkansas, or South Carolina look more attractive because they will get a spot that as a 10-2 over a 10-2 FSU, Clemson or Miami regardless of how dominant they were in most of the season. That snub should piss off every fan from any conference because it will shape perception for the foreseeable future.

PREACH IT, JOSH. That FSU Warchant thing is a TRAVESTY and the poster child for just how little these modern athletic directors, who have no ties to the schools that employ them, care for their school's traditions or unique gameday atmospheres. Many of them probably even hate all that messy traditional stuff. Can't insert ad buys while the band is playing, am I right? They've been strangling the Pride of the Southland Marching Band at Tennessee for years too. Every kickoff, they play "Joker and the Thief." Not Rocky Top. Not anything related to the school. Just crappy canned music from a stupid playlist. Opposing players used to talk about how they'd leave Neyland hearing Rocky Top in their nightmares for weeks after. Not anymore. They don't even play Rocky Top half the time anymore. Now they play Welcome to the Jungle. HOW TENNESSEE IS THAT? I hate it. LOOK WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO OUR COLLEGE FOOTBALL, JOSH.

[@lawrencematthes8948]

I been a big 10 boy all my life. No way they have passed the SEC. I do believe it hasn't been the difference gap that some people, especially in the south, have always believed it to be. It varies from year to year. The list of top 10 teams matching up and point spreads, I would have only took Ohio St plus the points and USC. But I would take Georgia to win the game. Oregon would be a toss to me. The rest I would go with the SEC. Now let's take these same matchups and compare them over 20 years. Or 50 years. In those matchups it would be more competitive. In that scenario, I would take Ohio St over Georgia. Michigan over Ole Miss. USC over Tennessee. Washington over A&M. Wisconsin and Missouri is close, but I'll say Wisconsin by a whisker. Penn St takes a tough loss matching up with Bama. Everyone does. What I love about the SEC fans is their loyalty. People in Tennessee will think they are historically better than USC. Mississippi fans think the same compared to Michigan. Georgia could have a legitimate argument, but they have had many perks and valleys. Recent history has them on a peek they have never had before. But they would lose their case on an historical basis. What really sets the SEC apart is even A&M, Arkansas, South Carolina ECT all think like Tennessee and Mississippi. That they are powerhouse football schools who aren't what they think they are. The big 10, for the most part, are more self aware. The Iowa's, Illinois-eye😊, Minnesotas,, Michigan St all understand their place in the food chain. Interesting that two traditional schools like Nebraska and Florida didn't even make the list. Just my opinion

The SEC may be better. But didnt LSU and Texas A&M just lose as favorites, one to a Big 10 team? I think the SEC is the best conference but there is bias that helps them. Ha Alabama been great? Yes!! But they got into rhe national championship game when they didn't even win their conference. No one else benefits like that. They won the championship that season but as a result of bias putting them in position to do do. Way back when Florida won their first in the 2000s, they had a worse loss than USC but got the nod over them. The best conference YES. But extra chances helped a bit and they took advantage of them.
