shyt is nuts man

I'd take Franklin at UF in a heartbeat. He might end up getting the Mark Richt treatment after 10 years or so, but I'd be content with someone who isn't a total moron keeping us above sea level for a while.

Pods are gonna be the eventual answer. I do like no divisions with the SEC especially, just because the real SEC teams played each other so sparingly as we got later in the 2000s. But unfortunately, we got the Big 12 schools now too so it's completely out of wack. Pods are the only option now

Pods are a step in the right direction. But you still end up with 4 teams that win their pod and you have to pick 2 for the CCG.

The pods are there to preserve rivalries, so y’all might get Oklahoma, TAMU and maybe lsu, and mizzou or Bama, from there you get a mixed bag, it was so you wouldn’t have some crazy shyt like TAMU not playing Florida or something along them lines

Having your program consistently hit 10 wins is a beautiful thing

Especially in this 12 team playoff era. That'll get you in more often than not. And once you're in, who knows? With all this parity in the NCAA this year maybe things can happen in the playoffs...

They beat Ohio State, Won the Big Ten, and went 11-2 that season

He had him for more than one season

And it literally came down to a blocked fg return, and if i remember right we stomped them that year or one of them years at any rate with that cheat code he should have had urban across his knee (pause)

shyt is nuts man

I could see if it was like when LSU couldn’t beat Bama. They have the same level of talent.

That isn’t the case with Penn State & Ohio State.

yeah Penn state kings of 2/3 stars and the occasional 4 star

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

Going by NFL output I don’t think Penn st talent level is that inferior to a team like OSU

 

[L. Deezy]

At this point I'd be in favor of the conferences having their own 4 team playoffs to determine a conference champ, and the College Football playoffs being reduced to 6 or 8 teams.

Lol..what?

For what

Right….Cause Urban didn’t have ZEKE



Along with the rest

I don't get why Franklin gets so much hate. I get that he can't get over the hump, but people act like he's a total garbage ass coach or something.

On the other hand, Billy Napier looks halfway competitive for a few quarters because Carson Beck is a retard and loses by 2 TDs and motherfukkers are suddenly talking about how "great of a job he's doing" when he's 1-10 against ALL his rivals, not just the conference rival that has the most resources and talent year after year. It's wild.

the specific hate is that he does not win big games. So, lets examine that:

vs. osu: 1-10
vs. Michigan: 3-7,
bowl games 4-5 [wins in Pinstripe, fiesta, cotton, and rose; losses in Taxslayer, Rose, Citrus, Outback, Peach
nobody hates him for anything but that...but this...fukkin matters

if you're cool with your team going 10-3 / 11-2 every year and losing every important game every season yeah, you're welcome to be Auburn / aTm / Ole Miss / Notre Dame but Penn State fans want more it seems...understandably.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

no it isn't.

ten wins and losing 2/3 to osu/msu/penn state every year? fukk that shyt. Ask Gary Moeller about that. Were you saying how beautiful harbaugh era was before 2019? Because I clearly remember us wanting more and not being happy with 10-3 with losses in bowls and rivals.

osu recruits more elite WRs/RBs/QBs than penn state. Other positions they're equal.

We lose every important and unimportant game of the season under Napier.

Franklin is 1-10 against Ohio State

Napier is 1-10 against ALL our rivals (only beating Tennessee once last year in the Swamp because Michigan cast off Joe Milton can overthrow the Taliban when there's a wide open receiver down the field).

Hell Kentucky was a team we beat 31 years straight until Dan Mullen came along, and Napier even has a losing record to them.

So if having a terrible record against just UGA and LSU, while doing well against Tennessee, FSU, etc I could live with that for a while.

Florida is a Miss State level program right now, so being Ole Miss, Notre Dame, aTm would be an upgrade.
