10-11 ncaa football thread

Jeremiah Masoli probably didn't singlehandedly sink Oregon's chances in 2010, but his fall from grace didn't help matters any. :(

nah, he pretty much singlehandedly sunk their chances

they were a bit overrated anyhow -- last year they got trounced by boise & stanford, lost to ohio st (who wasn't that good to begin with) & "made" their season by beating a usc team that was barely one of the 25 best in the country

Yeah, but if anything, their 2010 Pac-10 competition would've been more of a pushover than last year. Now I guess it's Washington? Cal?

god masoli is such an idiot

cal should be decent

they'll still probably win the pac 10 -- maybe oregon st? altho they're replacing their qb

it would be hilarious if oregon st won the pac 10, ohio st went to the nat'l title game, and the big 10 rep to the rose bowl was wisconsin

hilarious because the rose bowl people are massive dickbags

pac10 is gonna be really up in the air this year

tbh, I wouldn't hate to see Iowa in the Rose Bowl Game.

Stanford is probably the team to beat this year if Luck is as good as people think he is.

truth

that would be depressing

I can imagine the eventual champion having 2 conference losses

Maybe instead of courting Notre Dame, but Big Ten could go after the Detroit Lions. SUH VS. HUSKERS.

ESPN says they're likely to stay now.

I don't know what to believe!

if texas stays, possible that nothing else at all happens?

maybe utah to pac 10

If Texas stays, no one else moves (not even A&M to the SEC). Utah is pretty likely to go Pac-10, though.

Honestly I think the Pac 10 plus Utah and Colorado makes a lot of sense. Two good programs who make sense for the region, whereas Texas would be weird to me.

tbh, I would be happy with giving Arkansas back to the Big 12 if they want them. And South Carolina can go to hell somewhere too.

hell vs. the acc

i still wouldn't be shocked to see the SEC make a move for 2 more teams

florida state and miami would be logical (more than a&m...)

I'd love it, specifically because all the rowdy Gator fans around me on a daily basis would get all *sadface* over their reduced recruiting dominance.

Fortunately, the SEC only requires 9 of 12 schools to approve new members instead of unanimous consent.

would be hard to argue w/ that being the 'strongest conference' = could possibly lead to other dominoes falling?

looks like:
a. pac16 ain't gonna happen
b. it's espn's fault

(Daniel, I know you hate Bama for a variety of reasons, but solidarity in disgrace!!!)

lol, yeah.

BTW J0RDAN S. SAYS WE'RE GOING TO BE DYNAMITE THIS YEAR SO I AM OPTIMISTIC.

SO I EXPECT A 11-WIN SEASON. NO EXCUSES.

Now it's officially official. Texas, TAMU and Oklahoma all declined offers to join the Pac-10, and no one is moving now if they don't move.

So I guess we get a Pac-12 with Colorado and (in all likelihood) Utah being the new additions.

colorado and utah? wow that's like a superconference.

Too many pictures to post, but go here for maximum LOLZ: http://www.shaggybevo.com/board/showthread.php/65557-The-Way-of-The-World-Conference-Realignment-Redux-in-MS-Paint

utah

Vanderbilt interim coach Robbie Caldwell has had tougher jobs than the one he took over when Bobby Johnson abruptly retired last month. Caldwell's first job, at a turkey farm in Pageland, S.C., certainly wasn't glamorous. "I don't know if I could tell you what my job was, but I was on the inseminating crew," Caldwell said. "That's a fact. I worked my way to the top."

I feel like college football is gonna suck this year idk why

hope not u_u

How could college football suck in a year where USC will shame itself? Eat my balls, Lane Kiffin.

seeing wannstadt losing already brings a broad smile to my face

miami-ohio state could be epic.

Yes, looking forward to that game!

WTF is going on here

uhhh

god that was fucking retarded

srsly wish college football had some semblance of "rules"

like, did the utah coach have any idea what he was doing? no, right? he was just calling time outs cuz that's what people do? there's no reason why he wouldn't have called the third one if he had some actual 'strategy'

dion lewis hurt?

well that was fun

classic wannstead, always living up to expectations

Terribly thrown "pass"
