The OFFICIAL 2021 College Football RANDOM THOUGHTS thread

[Sauce Dab]

Jaxson is dumb. Does he wanna go to the NFL or not? Should have told Riley he would stay.

He’d be sitting behind CW (if he ends up at USC) for the next 2 years and he’d only have his senior year to prove himself. I understand why he left and if Williams don’t go to USC Dart can just withdraw his name from the portal

Yeah everybody good in the NFL. So staying healthy and X&O’s more important but you still also gotta find that right QB because if you don’t you gone stay mid

It’s so many that are trash, and the only reason they stick around is because the gm and/or the coach doesn’t want to admit stupidity in the pick, or they didn’t create the right situation for the qb to thrive in

27-23 UGA

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

hilarious that some ppl think uga is the best team in the country with stetson bennett at qb

 

[DropTopDoc]

Kirby good, he will get a blank check moving forward, but if he wants to run this back, i hope he picks the most talented guy at qb

College football is a completely different sport than the NFL wow... It's the other way around in the big league.

I think these guys really underestimated Xs and Os in college football. Xs and Os are what make the best teams beat their peers.

2019 recruiting class:

1. Alabama
2. Georgia
3. Texas
4. aTm
5. LSU
6. OK
7. Oregon
8. Michigan
9. Florida
10. Clemson
11. Auburn

2020:

1. Georgia
2. Alabama
3. Clemson
4. LSU
5. ohio
6. aTm
7. Auburn
8. Texas
9. Florida
10. Michigan
11. TN

So, these teams are littered with 4 stars and 5 stars...the very players we watched this year. Outside of the FIRST TWO, these teams ARE NOT way more talented than each other on paper.

Xs and Os are why the teams 3-11 beat each other. Michigan's game plan vs. Ohio State this year is why. The talent gap between alabama and auburn is real, but it is not that big and is why auburn wins like 30% of the time they face each other. Talent is what gets you your 12th and 13th win, but Xs and Os are worth 9 wins IMO. Oregon built its entire program on Xs and Os with the spread.

yes and no, like i said on the recent cast, the recruiting feeds into the x&o’s, realistically it all feeds back into the recruiting

Auburn is a special case of things going their way in those Bama losses, not necessarily auburn just hanging tough or man handling, it helped but it was circumstances

when you have the pieces the top 1% has, you can game plan what others can’t, dean going from one side to the other and making a tfl is a personnel thing way more than X/O thing.

Oregon had the game plan on lock but the talent they acquired allowed them to compete, even higher, some of their skill players and qbs were dogs out there, but not having the talent top to bottom hurt them especially in the trenches

Notre Dame ranked 8th...Nice Ill take it

And why Nick changed his ENTIRE offensive philosophy after catching hell from teams that had the talent to run it at peak efficiency vs his teams. It’s why I pushback at the all you need is talent crowd. Different sport but if talent was all you needed, Kentucky would’ve owned CBB like UCLA back in the day. Having talent WITH Xs and Os is the difference between a Calipari and Coach K.

 

[Trust Me]

Dude won’t show his face till close to the final four. That’s when he comes back and screams That Bama basketball is gonna win it all.

Lsu is no exception, matter of fact no fanbase is, especially in the sec

Racist people are strange. Very strange.

I don't see how you can put all your energy into cheering/screaming for black athletes, etc when you secretly (or not so secretly) hate black ppl. Just a strange brain.

I got banned from Miami for calling these cacs out. White people are garbage for the most part

exactly. Talent alone will get you 8 wins, and the outback/gator bowl. and the eventual 7-5 hot seat season. But then guess what now you no longer have the talent, go 6-6 and you're fired.

X-Os are the difference in those other 4 games you lost and definitely in rivalry and conference title games.

it’s more than talent for sure but the talent allows you to scheme what others can’t, and basketball is more about cohesion, matured talent, a team full of juniors and seniors is a better team than pure talent. Not to mention one player can literally lift a team like beasy did at ksu

having the better team can literally get you into the playoffs, but if you don’t have some x&o then it won’t get you past your first opponent

the best example was les miles lsu and dantoni msu(and that’s only because they really ain’t have a game plan beyond run play defense and a couple play action shots)
