I think a lot of folks are sleeping on ECU. '16 was an uncharacteristically bad season. The Pirates could be the trap game on a lot of schedules. It all depends on how much the Defense shaped up in the off season, the Offense never had a problem lighting up the board.

I'll call it a 6-6 season with a low tier bowl win against a MAC babby or C-USA team.

It's all garbage to be desu but I don't care, I will watch anything after the offseason. Oregon State/Colorado State might be decent and it's the first game of the day. Stanford/Rice is in Australia so it has something memey going for it. I'm watching South Florida/San Jose State so I can see what all the South Florida posters have been shilling.

If App runs the table, there's a real chance they'll threaten the NY6.

It just depends on how things shake out in the AAC.

Lamb needs to find his legs this season. I never liked how he scrambled.

>>77778771
Because whoever made it's favorite team probably wasn't in the top 5 if he went back another year.

>>77779014
>>77779051

I can't decide if 2016 taught the NY6 committee that an undefeated G5 schedule =/= an NY6 berth after the booty blasting WMU caught,

Or if WMU's berth was proof that the committee will always choose an undefeated G5 team, regardless of strength of schedule, for the NY6 berth.

>>77779365

>WVU

ECU, WVU, and VT are all playing each other in the first 3 weeks.

If ECU was able to get the defense back on track, that could be a fun little series for all 3 schools. ECU has already embarrassed VT 2 of the past 3 times they played.

I have NO IDEA. The """"""starting"""""" QB got a lot of snaps last year and he was terrible. I've been throwing shade all day on Facebook about the decision.

Yes, and yes. ECU also had some REALLY embarrassing red zone turnovers last year without him, especially at South Carolina, so maybe he will fit in.

ECU also picked up Wiggins on Defense from Clemson, and a D lineman from Minnesota. It was a good off season of recruiting for transfers.

But the problem with that kind of recruiting is the short amount of time for the offense to gel before the season starts. They won't even get an easy FCS game to tune up against a live defense, either. It's make or break out of the gate with JMU first up.

If you go 12-0, you're not going to the NOB.

Even if you don't, you're not going to the NOB. Lately bowls have been more about who's geographically closeby, you'd probably play some other smaller bowl on the east coast.

>>77779077
It doesn't matter. If you finish in the top 15, and you are more highly ranked than a P5 champ, you're in. Regardless.

It doesn't matter that they were undefeated, just that they capped such a high ranking.

Honestly it shouldn't have been them, but Houston shit the bed and no MW team was able to climb that high. A problem which will likely be corrected in 2017.

The NFL has only 32 teams (like 30 cities), college football is more akin to EPL (though without pro/rel), as there are 130 teams at the top level, then another four levels below that.

In the NFL, you can lose 7 games in your 16-game season and still make the playoffs.

In CFB, if you lose one game, you're likely fucked.

Good times.

>>77783990

Is this what non-P5 programs tell themselves?

>>77783312
Also the players are younger and therefore less developed mentality and physically. In the NFL, defensive players are bigger, faster and more disciplined, which means some offensive schemes simply won't work in the NFL like they do in CFB. This also means upsets are much more common compared to the NFL. Which isn't fun if you are a fan of a top team but is fun if you aren't.

Can there really be upsets in the NFL?
They're all basically Real Madrids
Even with the 18-1 game the Giants only lost to the Pats in the regular season by 3 and held the lead in the 4th

That doesn't really compare with shit like the Boise-Oklahoma game, not even to mention App St-Michigan

>>77783312

It's like Oxford vs Cambridge in the Boat Race but with the most popular sport in the country.

So instead of just two schools competing you have 100s of teams and many with the same storied history and rivalry as Oxford and Cambridge. The rowers on these teams are near Olympic standard. It's the same in college football, the best teams are full of elite players who will go on to be the best players in the NFL.

If a similar system existed in England then Dele Alli would only be starting his professional career this season after graduating from college.

>>77784122
>Can there really be upsets in the NFL?
No not really, look at the patriots last year, they lost to buffalo (who finished 7-9) on the 4th game of the season. The equivalent would be roughly equivalent to a top 5 team losing to an unranked team. And what happened? they lost later in the season to the seahawks and still got 1st seed.
I think this plays into what >>77783990 said, and what you said. Look at Michigan losing to App-St. Michigan was expected to compete for the national championship that year and lost on the first game of the season to a non-p5 team. They were out of contention already.

This was true a decade ago, except for the 2007 season. Nowadays we're usually finishing the regular season with only one or two undefeated teams. With the playoff any good one loss conference champion could get in.

>>77784536
Or, in the case of the Buckeyes, not even getting a conference championship, let alone a division championship, puts you in the playoffs.

Then going O-H-31-0.

>>77784097
Fuck Boise State

>>77784412
That's a bit misleading

It's more of a lose too many times or the wrong game and you're out

It's injected up to the eyeballs with traditions small and large. Every team is wildly different and these teams are people's identities, these are the places they live, make friends, fuck girls, grow into adults. The universities make gigantic spectacles out of these games and even the town or cities around get into it. It's really hard to explain but there's an electricity that starts to build up around early August that everyone get excited for. You see wild ass plays work that you would get fired for thinking about in the NFL and upsets are not uncommon so anyone can lose, winning it all is fucking difficult. At the end, you get a cool crystal coconut.

The only egregious instances that caused were pic related and 2011. Texas, USC, and Utah have every right to claim the 2008 natty IMO, as well as Oklahoma State the 2011 natty. But that also means Auburn gets the 2004 natty.

>>77790265

2003 was right up there with 2011 in terms of how bad the BCS fucked up. USC was #1 in both human polls they used but Oklahoma was so far ahead at #1 in the computers that it kept them at #1 even after they got BTFOd by Kansas State in the Big 12 title game and USC stayed at #3. According to everyone who wasn't a computer, the BCS championship game that season was #2 vs #3. That was such a mistake the BCS had to change how they weighted their formulas after that season so computers weren't weighted so heavily.

>>77790889
USC got a share of the natty at least.

Right, but the BCS was created to prevent split titles so they failed pretty hard in 2003. It's possible LSU doesn't get the Coaches Poll title that year if they weren't contractually obligated to vote the winner of the BCS title game #1 (a few coaches still dissented and voted USC #1 in the final poll after the bowl games). USC was #1 in that poll before the bowl games and they beat #4 Michigan 28-14 in the Rose Bowl. That would have been an even bigger disaster for the BCS if the winner of their title game didn't get a trophy.

Yep, no conference will take USF until expansion happens again. Even then, who? ACC and SEC won't. B1G probably wouldn't. Too far for the PAC. The only way they get snagged is if the B1G snatches FSU and the ACC and Big XII have to combine, then take one of USF of UCF.

my understanding is as follows

http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/02/07/college-hotline-the-pac-12s-expanding-revenue-deficit-relative-to-sec-big-ten/
https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2016/10/18/13309192/big-12-expansion-conference-realignment-grant-of-rights-inevitable-death
B12 will expire their grant of rights
B10 Fox deal for Tier 1 will expire
P12 will be far behind in revenue (by up to $20M per school or more)
UT's LHN will have about 5 years left on it with ESPN (ESPN if they are smart will not re-up)
ND, if they want to join any conf, will be forced to join ACC by 2026.

>>77793208

All the other parts happen around 2024, by the way,>>77793208.

>>77793208
>ND forced

ND makes too much money to be forced to do anything. They can do what UT is doing, have their own network, and make bank forever. ND isn't even a part of the conversation.

The question on the Big 12 is, "Do the members want this conference to exist?" Regardless of what they say, UT having its own network is a firm move toward saying no, fuck this conference. Could you imagine if Bama got their own exclusive TV network? Why even stay at that point? Make money and play as an independent, you're set.

When the current Big 12 TV contract expires (negotiated for a dollar amount based on the 12-team lineup, including Nebraska and Colorado, shortly before the conference shrank), they will have zero negotiating power because their product is so shit. If UT leaves, that's the end of the conference. If UT stays, the other members will have to eat shit.

If they were smart, the B12 would do what the ACC did and just add members to shore up viewer numbers and create the illusion that the conference is in demand. But the B12 is not smart, and will be utterly shocked when they implode, pointing fingers and assuming they should be handed something just because they had a very successful season in 2005.

What could be more Texas than that?

>>77788516
>>77788558
We're off to a good start

I think the Big XII will certainly implode, and the bottom half of it will wind up in the AAC (or whatever the premier mid-major conference of that time is called).

Teams like Baylor, TTU, Iowa State, KSU are all fucked. They will get relegated to mid-majordom for eternity. WVU is good enough to likely get an invite somewhere. Kansas' basketball will save it a spot in the B1G. Texas can go independent. The Oklahoma schools will get picked up, OU for sure at least.

The 4x16 Power conference setup seems to be the inevitable endpoint of all this realignment. There just aren't enough chairs, and there will be some very upset fan bases when the music finally stops.

>>77793665

JMO, I think the future is 20 member mega conferences.

>>77793665
>>77793696

>The 4x16 Power conference setup seems to be the inevitable endpoint of all this realignment.

>20 member mega conferences

UNLESS the playoff expands. Then we could see the opposite happen, and a re-balkanization of college football with smaller conferences. Smaller, lighter conferences with one or 2 heavyweight teams would have a lot more negotiating options--especially if ESPN and today's cable-centric contracts fallacy finally fails, and streaming becomes the norm.

>>77793724
I doubt there will be any consideration for the playoff in conference realignment

>>77793784

If TV deals go away, and that money becomes more important, you bet your ass it will be. And small conferences would split that money with fewer mouths.

The playoff is what started the Big XII madness last year anyway, after they got shut out.

>>77793818

>and that money becomes more important

*the playoff money, that is. Or just post season money in general.

Don't listen to longhorn posters, the know dick about shit. He honestly thinks Texas can survive being completely independent. If Notre Dame can't do it, the longhorns certainly can't. No conference will touch them as long as they have their network and no conference will take non-revenue-generating sports without a football deal.

Neither Kansas or Kansas State are good enough schools academically (AAU) to be in the B1G.

>>77796057
Why can't you move out west?

The comfy west can be pretty inexpensive depending on where you live. There is more job growth there than in the east, too.

>>77796438
I don't think Nebraska will leave, although they did lose their AAU status shortly after joining the B1G and are very much the academic red-headed step child of the bunch. The most realistic B1G expansion after the collapse of the B12 would certainly include Iowa State and then they'd try their best to get Texas to beef up the West and everything else Texas brings with it (prestige, academics, athletics, fanbase, TV market). Iowa State fits geographically, gets Iowa annually in-conference and is a decent basketball school. Purdue goes to the East division.

West:
Northwestern
Illinois
Wisconsin
Minnesota
Iowa
Iowa State
Nebraska
Texas

East:
Michigan
Michigan State

Reminds me of the Clemson vs Troy game last year where Troy returned a fumble for a TD near the end of the game to take a late lead but then the refs blew the play dead for literally no reason.

>>77796681

Clemson played like garbage in the regular season last year. They should have lost to NCSU and Troy.

In the end though, the refs know who writes their checks (their conference) and even if there is no malice or conscious intent, I think there is still a bias.

STEP RIGHT UP FOLKS IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER YEAR OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL. OR ANOTHER YEAR OF OVERRATING MIDWESTERN PROGRAMS, TO BE PRECISE.

THIS WEEK MARKS THE BEGINNING OF THOSE ANNUAL TRADITIONS WITH SOUTH (WEST CENTRAL) FLORIDA V. SAN DIEGO STATE (NOT A STATE). ALL ACCOUNTS ARE THAT CHARLIE STRONG AND QUINTON FLOWERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO EMBARRASS THE AZTECS, BUT IF YOU GOOGLE SEARCH USF'S SCHEDULE FOR 2017, YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THEY ARE RANKED 19 FOR THIS GAME, THEN UNRANKED FOR WEEK 2 AGAINST STONY BROOK, THEN BACK TO 19 AGAIN WEEK 3 AGAINST UCONN. GOOGLE CLEARLY THINKS THE BULLS GET CORRALLED THIS WEEKEND - AND CHARLIE STRONG IS NO STRANGER TO THIS - SO I THINK SDSU KNOCKS THEM OFF.

NEXT UP ITS THAT TEAM YOU USED TO KNOW BUT THEN YOU REALIZE DAVID SHAW STILL HAS A JOB. STANFORD WILL PLAY RICE. NOW I'VE HEARD OF CUPCAKES BUT COME ON. IS OUR GENERATION SO CODDLED THEY PLAY AGAINST PIECES OF MEALED GRAIN? CAN IT AT LEAST BE BROWN RICE? STANFORD ALSO HAS GOING FOR IT THAT THE SATURDAY MORNING WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT RADIO SHOW ON ESPN RADIO NAMED ITS MASCOT THE COOLEST IN THE COUNTRY. THIS WAS IN BETWEEN STORIES ABOUT RAPE AND MISOGYNY IN SPORTS OF COURSE. I'M NOT SURE IF THOSE WOMEN KNEW IT WAS A TREE, OR IF IT'S SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF AS A STANFORD FAN, BUT I THINK IT MEANS A WIN AGAINST SNAP CRACKLE AND POP.

THURSDAY'S GAMES BRING US MIKE GUNDY LITERALLY UNFIREABLE ASS AND HIS BEDLAM SQUAD TO PLAY AGAINST TULSA IN WHAT IS SURE TO BE A DISPLAY OF BIG 12 SUPERIOR- AH WHO ARE WE KIDDING, THE GAME WILL END 75-72 WITH OKSTATE FEIGNING SURPRISE AT "HOW GOOD TULSA IS". FINALLY WE HAVE BLOWHIO STATE WHO IS SOMEHOW RANKED #2 IN THE COUNTRY *AGAIN* DESPITE GETTING MUCH WORSE AND DESPITE THE B1G'S AWFUL SHOWING IN BOWL GAMES LAST SEASON.

>scientific formulae and algorithms
The BCS computer polls were subject to human bias just as much as human voters. They were programmed by people who weighted different criteria with varying levels of importance...just like human poll voters do. If that wasn't true, every single computer would have the exact same results but they didn't because their creators had different priorities in determining who the top 25 teams were. Plus, the formulas weren't required to be public so we had no clue what they valued. It could have been whose cheerleaders have the biggest tits or which team has the most hoodrat nigs on their roster.

The bottom line is the computers put a team that just got slaughtered 35-7 by 10-3 Kansas State (who lost to Marshall that year) in the title game and the rest of the CFB world agreed it was such a huge mistake that the computers should have less influence. If they were superior, we would still use them instead of a committee.

It's a recent meme term. Technically they're considered part of Week 1, but the season's official kickoff is NEXT week, so they call this weekend "Week zero" informally to differentiate it.

we never had week zero last year. We had the meme games in neutral sites from the very start. This week zero is going to be bigger next year just for muh marketing for schools.

>>77805411
I guess. I really need it this year. Havent been that hyped about football coming back so this might help

Why do autistic Big 10 fans write "B1G" like they can draw the fucking logo with their keyboards?

Week zero was just one game last year, Cal vs Hawaii in Australia on 8/26

nah, I just say everything twice.

couldve sworn that was week 1.
they did the scheduling great at least for tommorrow. You can watch football all day. although should have started hawaii at home for that midnight kickoff

>>77805516
you know whats better than both is individual game threads.

desu the only game that's likely to be competitive is CSU vs Oregon State, and even that one hinges on some memes from the QB at CSU being true.

USF will likely thrash SJSU, Stanford will do the same to Rice, and BYU scheduled a mediocre FCS team in Week 0 for some godawful reason.

this one maybe. Former tulsa coach Bill blakenship has taken over the program. Probably some better games in the state but next week is when it really starts

lol, I went to Owasso High. Jenks beat us 21 years in a row and Owasso only finally beat them after I graduated. In Oklahoma 6A only 2 teams have won the championship in the last 21 years. Jenks and Tulsa Union. Funny thing is Owasso is a large school with good facilites and in the upper tier of football schools in the region generally....but we never could beat Jenks.

>>77806249

>>77806392
Owasso has played some close games with Jenks but always loses.

Those new facilities are insane! But yeah maybe its a mental thing jenks used to field some scary teams. I have hope for owasso

you are going to fucking need a boat. its like noah ark

>Team
Oregano, State flavor

>Biggest game
Probs U$C at the Coliseum, considering haven't won there since the goddamn '60s and the condoms are actually back. Though most important is definitely Colo State. Win this game and I think we power through to 7-8+ wins. Lose and we'll be lucky to get 4-5 wins, much less make a bowl.

One time Jenks got off 13 plays in 31 seconds right before the end of the half. I swear they started the clock late and ended it as quickly as possible. They scored. I couldn't believe my fucking eyes...and most of the plays were runs aswell. We were leading or tied at half...or were supposed to be, but Jenks somehow scored. I couldn't believe my eyes. I still don't feel right about it, even though I could care less highschool ball at this point...

They played damn near 50 different people, and over 30 are returning, I'd say 6 wins is the floor and 10 is the max, lewerke looked like the real deal when he was in and a full offseason knowing he's the starter can only help, along with scott, holmes and london to hand off to.

>>77807179
That team was a disaster on the field and off and return maybe 2 good players with literally 0 depth. There's a reason they are only projected to win 4-5 games.

They let at some point in every game, lost to michigan and osu by 10 points and was beating penn state on the road in the 3rd quarter.I'm not saying they'll be world beaters but a lot of the problems were that TOC couldnt keep the offence on the field which led to the defence on for 45 minutes a game and besides it's not like having all those young players play so much hurts in the long run

Uh, biggest would be hoping we knock off Washington (unlikely) or U$C (even more unlikely). Most realistic is probably Ole Piss or Oregon State and maybe kill their bowl hopes
>bowl prediction
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>77807336
I appreciate your optimism but this team is not going to be better than last year by much. 6-7 wins is the ceiling not the floor. Enjoy the Quick Lane Bowl at best.
