    Simulated BCS standings

    first or second round playoff loss >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dukes Mayo Bowl win We have finished in the Top 25 15 times. We have won 15 bowl games. A playoff loss is better than a meaningless bowl win.

    Earliest since 2004* that we have had no unbeatens left on schedule

    With seven games remaining, there are no unbeaten teams remaining on our schedule. The data is only reliable back to 2000, but this is the earliest that has ever happened. LSU has 2 losses Oklahoma has 2 losses Texas has 1 loss Vandy has 3 losses Auburn has 2 losses Tennessee Tech has 1 loss...

    James Madison to the American

    This sounds weird, but MTSU and Western Kentucky are apparently a package deal and they like C-USA.

    17 Bama and Georgia. I want Mississippi State to have a chance. A 24-team playoff means realistically we have a chance every year.

    Simulated BCS standings

    Well, you follow college football enough to know that as early as next year, there will be a 24-team playoff. There is a push to return to a BCS-type ranking to determine those 24 teams.

    James Madison to the American

    They actually had a $1.5 million surplus. Renting a stadium helps bring down costs. UAB pays $25k per game to rent Protective Stadium. They have a sweetheart deal. At 7 home games a year, they are paying about $35 million over 20 years and have no maintenance. Tulane's stadium cost $75 million...

    How was the 2001 defense so bad?

    I subscribe to the Saban 2000 theory as well. Something happened in that game in the fourth quarter that is hard to explain. We were up 31-17 and rolling. LSU had three drives in the fourth quarter that were unstoppable to take a 38-31 lead. We came back and scored to tie it then lost in...

    James Madison to the American

    This is the death knell for the Sun Belt. With just one G5 bid, JMU is the Sun Belt's best chance at year in, year out access to the playoff. What remains after JMU leaves is a collection of regional public schools that are struggling. We had a thread a couple weeks ago about the Louisiana...

    Simulated BCS standings

    Argue with the BCS model of only having the top two play for a championship, but the BCS system was the best rating we ever had. In a 24-team playoff, we would be traveling to Tennessee in the first round for a chance to play at Notre Dame Other SEC: Oregon at Ole Miss - winner to Texas USC at...

    That 2000 game is when Nick Saban showed the SEC how to beat Joe Lee Dunn.

    OU / TX

    Texas was always the road game I thought we had the best chance of winning. Oklahoma can’t score on offense. Don’t make mistakes and we win that one by two scores.

    USM headed toward

    I think you can form a non-NIL division and schools can choose to be a part of it. Obviously there will be a dip in recruiting but there absolutely needs to be a non-NIL division for schools like USM. Its either that or the death of football at those schools.
