Who has the roughest roads ahead and who will be taking a simpler route? These are the matchups, from tough tests to cupcakes, that have our attention.
In my heart, it’s a classic meteor scenario. Officially, it’s whichever one of you is behind in the standings. Realistically, it’s almost certainly going to be better that y’all beat the red menace.
There is also the small matter of a young Gator alum many years ago who who was not TOO too into football partisanship who took the LSAT and decided that he liked the idea of Atlanta better than Miami or Jacksonville for the long term, so he went to UGA for law school and talked a LOT of shit to the motley crew of Yankees and liberal arts grads who suddenly decided that they had always loved UGA and Mark Richt was going to get them over the hump any year now. It was all fine until these past two seasons…
I am starting to see the downside to existing in a comm/mag that some squatter claimed. I reckon there’s probably somebody here or on our Cfb kbin who could gin up a better solution, but it ain’t the mods.
I’m torn. I love seeing P5 schools load up on P5 non-con, but that sucks for G5 schools and more historic in-state games, and furthers the inevitable larger schism of G5-P5, soon to be SEC/B1G and the rest.
I’m a WVU fan, tho, so I love where the B12 is at rn. Best of the Rest is absolutely a title I’ll take, and the conference should be wildly fun to watch.
Yeah, and honestly I think both Georgia and Michigan had P5 OOC games that only got canceled because they wouldn’t be able to finish the contracts before their opponents became conference mates.
Generally I think P5’s should make an effort to schedule at least one P5 in OOC, and beyond that just do what makes sense.
As a TCU (and UF) fan, I am in pleasant disbelief that the B12 has pulled things together. Combination of creativity, ambition, and realism about the current state of the conference.
It’s a nice surprise. And with the arguably imminent collapse of the ACC, we are in great position to pick up some very strong eastern schools that we have history with. I do feel bad for WSU, OSU, and some of the other PAC schools. They are likely to be left out in the next expansion, unless the B12 fractures into an East/West.
Just as I thought. Georgia doesn’t play anybody. I’m declaring them ineligible for the playoff right now! NOW!
I know who you’re cheering for 11/18! 😘

This just amplifies how much I’d love to have the flair here, cause I have to do mini investigations to get context lol
If you maintain it yourself, a simple text replacement script works fairly well.
