That 02 USC team was piping hot by the end of that season they played a murderers row schedule and got clipped on the road by some top 10 teams early on but from November on they were rolling schools
So frustrating man. Chip fukked up that game too. But it is what its, and it goes to your point that the BCS era fukked some teams over, real or perceived. I am just glad we have a playoff now. Maybe it should be 6 teams maybe 8 who knows, but I am just glad the BCS is fukking done man.

Yeah I remember watching live and remember reading some rumors bout Chip that didn't look too good week of or during that game I think you and @Reinscarf even posted something in that season thread.
The playoff will expand eventually they probably gotta clip one of these regular season games and go back to the 11 game schedule shyt gonna look pretty shytty if you got schools playing NFL schedules
CFB is going to change, I just wrote a long response to your post. But I am a bit drunk and it was gibberish. This is still probably gibberish, but shorter..
ESPN lost 4m subscribers this year.
I am no fan of Clay Travis. But man, read this article by him when it comes to the TV Sports rights future(he has been pretty on point about this for awhile now). it is interesting, and goes to the post from @jadillac about ESPN and Fox not wanting the Big 12 to add teams.

Yeah very good article ESPN just burning money I didn't know they was paying so much for MLB they don't even get shyt for playoffs but one wildcard game. I don't even watch the ESPN broadcast unless Giants play on Sunday nights they ain't getting no big numbers off regular season MLB. Got a feeling ESPNU bout to get them deavors soon that channel ain't good for shyt but replays during the offseason. ESPN really started feeling themselves with that bullshyt Longhorn Network too
Ya, it is crazy. The way people watch TV now and the way it is going, it is going to be interesting when all these contracts come up. Funny enough, for all the Baseball is dying stuff. Baseball is actually positioned pretty good. B/c all their huge TV contracts for most teams are local.

I see Travis predicting Kansas and Texas to the Big Ten and the Oklahoma schools to the SEC.
Like those gets for both conferences if that's legit.

Yeah Baseball eat off regional I don't know anyone who watches ESPN games unless they just don't have the package. I would be lost if I didn't have extra innings all I ever see ESPN showing is the Cubs or the New York teams with a little Boston and Washington mixed in.

ESPN sold they soul for them MNF rights and they get the sorriest games each year seems like the slate gets worse and worse.
I almsot dislike Clay Travis just as much as I dislike Jamie Mcintyre. Now this article is not written by jamie mcintyre, But it is from his site TBL. And jamie mcintyre works for Fox now. But when you get through the BS, the point about regional baseball TV(And regional TV sports right in general) contract rights makes sense.
Is Fox Sports Better Placed For Cable's Future Than ESPN?

Yeah that makes sense I always wondered how much big cities like Chicago,Detroit and NY even watched games on ESPN like that. They be all over the air nationally but I'm sure everyone in the city pretty much stick to Comcast or YES,SNY,MSG. I get better content on the regional channels on my package than the bullshyt ESPN shows only time ESPN comes in handy for me is CFB season other than that ESPN as a channel is pointless to me I only watch it when i'm bored or if I'm at a bar and they got TV on it.
I'm still tripping on how Dodgers still aint put they shyt on other cable providers they locking out big chunk of Cali. FS1 should just play it cool I don't know why they shot they wad paying so much for a bootleg ass Big East College Hoops don't move the needle like that to begin with anymore. They will be cool as long as they get some decent programming throughout the day and get they shyt together at night there's only so much UFC people can watch every night. fukk ESPN I hope they crumble they got they hands all over the major sports they need a reality check.

Have the announcer teams been posted?
ESPN fukked up all my CFB voices no more Nessler,McDonough,Musberger,Franklin I need to know who doing the big games now. I ain't trying to hear no old ass Mike Patrick with his drunk ass in the booth talking bout Britney Spears when game on the line.

The #1 Rated Mixtape of all Time
There really ain't no solid answer to that. Since day 1 there's been basically no practice footage released, but it seems that JF3 is at least able to hit open receivers. That's a start. If we find out what running back will start before the QB, I could give you a legitimate answer. I don't see him starting if one of our lighter backs are starting (you cant have two speed options on a read option)
Its not running, there's a group of people that assume we'd have to sacrifice the Iron Bowl for whatever reasons to make it to the East. I'd be okay with that. Honestly, I've seen alot of fans online that have the same thoughts. I honestly believe Alabama fans take it more to the heart than we do. Probably because they don't have another actual rival and we pretty much have dynamics with every team we play (case in point: Clemson-Auburn)at u thinking yall gonna run from Bama
The 00s were the glory years for the rivalry
Alabama laying down and getting put in submission year after year
