If you not talking about this season i dont care
@ celebrating over an HS freshman qb
he's already 6'5", has a cannon arm, comes from great pedrigee (his high school/town has produced alot of great professional athletes). he threw for over 3000 yards as a freshmen and led his team to the championship. some folks are even comparing him to Peyton Manning at this early age. he's got both the physical attributes and production at an early age to be considered can't miss. hence 24/7 naming him #1 for 2018 and saying he's a got chance to be the wire to wire #1.
the reason we're favorites to get him right now is because his family is originally from Tennessee and are huge Vols fans. plus he's visited our campus several times already. we've been recruiting him since the 8th grade.
TCU is one of the most vastly overrated teams heading into this season. I love how everyone ignores that they lost everyone on defense. i wouldn't be surprised if they had a 2014 oklahoma type season.
its only so much luck you can have in turning 2 star nobodies into college football stars.
Except for the fact he's been doing it for 10 years.
They only dipped because they jumped up a level & their starting QB got tossed for smoking crack
mountain west breh. also i meant this in the context of winning a natty/getting to the playoff. oregon has run thru the pac 12 with a bunch of 3 star prospects and a gimmick offense. look what happened they ran into auburn in 2011 and ohio state in 2015? look at what will happen in a few years when USC is back at full strength? look at how ohio state made michigan state look last year? look at how alabama made miss st look last year?
at the end of the day, the elite programs are those that recruit at an elite level. teams like tcu and michigan state will have some success in weak conferences. but once they play the big boys with the blue chip talent, they get exposed. the only dominant programs in college football are the sec schools, florida state, ohio state, and usc. michigan might come back and possibly oklahoma/texas. other than that, its mediocrity fighting more mediocrity.

You hear about this? Adidas is the outfitter for the conference, despite 9 of 12 schools being Nike brand.
Pac-12 secures official partnership with adidas
dude, shut up
if anything, the rise of the spread offense and tempo tactics means there is more parity in CFB than before, not less.
I guess vanderbilt having success and whooping tenn's ass before franklin left was due to them being in a weak conference.
Keep poppin off about recruiting statistics while mizzou keeps winning your division with #30 ranked recruiting classes.

I guess this where a misunderstanding of recruiting rankings comes into play. There really isn't much of a difference between teams in the 15-50 range. At that point, everyone is recruiting mostly the same 3 star guys and the difference becomes who can develop those mediocre players. Its the top 5-10 where the gap becomes huge. I compare it to the NBA draft. For example in the NBA, there isn't much of a difference between a guy picked at #14 and #50. everything after the lottery picks is pretty much the same. The superstars and difference makers in the nba draft comes in the top 5-10 picks. its rare to find superstars picked outside the top 10.
In that same vein, teams that recruit in the top 5-10 are recruiting a different breed. They get 5-10 guys a season that will become pros. Compare that to everyone else from 15-50 who might have 1-2 pros on their team. Its the reason the last 3 national champs (Alabama, Florida State, and Ohio State) have perenial top 5 classes. They get the best players. If you want to be ELITE. national title elite, then you need to be consistently recruiting in that top 5-10 range. because thats where the best players congregate.

The spread offense isn't gon be hot for long. These defensive Coordinators aren't just sittin around doing nothing.
You say that, but average game scores have only been increasing since the mid 2000's. Baylor and TCU played a 61-58 game in regulation last year
being a defensive coordinator in CFB is only going to get more difficult

I'll give you this year but the high tempo spread offense game is hot right now. I disagreeing how much impact it's made the last ten years. None of these teams have won championships and that's really what's important.You say that, but average game scores have only been increasing since the mid 2000's. Baylor and TCU played a 61-58 game in regulation last year

Follow me to the truth
That high uptempo is basically cheesin can't even set up a defense anymore

These defensive coordinators aint bout to let teams keep putting up 40+ on them. They're going to find ways to scheme against this. These old heads DC are about to go to the bushes tho. That's why I'm not tripping Chavis left. His schemes are played out. Look at Auburn they stayed putting up points on us even the year year b4 last year when we whooped them in death valleY they still did they thing offensively.That high uptempo is basically cheesin can't even set up a defense anymore
ohio state??
lets be honest, when a team goes to the ship but fails to bring hardware home, typically we put it on them not having enough players. But when its a spread team...well then they blame the up-tempo, spread team.
I guarantee you this playoff format leads to more spread teams and big-play offenses making it to the final game.
