OT: All Purpose NCAA Thread.

[JojoTheWhale]

The committee seems to value Conference Champs pretty heavily, so I'll keep my money on (Bama/GA), 12-0 ND, ACC champ Clemson, and a potential 12-1 Ohio St. I would take 1 loss Bama and 1 loss Oklahoma before OSU, but I don't think they agree.

They used to have some NFL dudes. Now they look like an FCS team.

The UCONN freak athlete defender was one of my favorite draft profiles for a good while. They produced Sio Moore, Wreh-Wilson, Trevardo Williams, Yawin Smallwood, Shamar Stephen, and Byron Jones in a 3 (!!) year stretch.

IMO the only thing ESPN does well is college football and I try to stay away from Fox broadcasts so I haven't heard this and I'm totally and completely unfamiliar with anything basketball related. How would this work with football .

The Big Ten & ACC do a challenge every year where they pit all teams in each conference against each for a game. They go by strongest to weakest down the line to make the matchups.

Obviously for basketball it’s good for tv ratings & it doesn’t have the consequences of a loss that it would in football.

Not a freak but I loved Alfred Fincher back in the day. That’s when teams played base defense for about 75% of their snaps though.

Thank f*** Penn State finally decided not to piss me off this week. I can more than likely switchover early in this one too.

By the statistics they been in the top 15-25 range for most of Franklin’s tenure but next year I think they could push through in the top 10 as it’s probably going to be his best & deepest so far.

Yetur Gross-Matos & Micah Parsons are pretty easily his best two pro prospects on that side of the ball since getting here.

I don't know who they would pick between OU and OSU if both are conference champions but if the committee has shown anything is that the coaches on it love Bama.

I would be surprised if Bama wasn't the 4th team. They have never lost by more than 14 points under Saban and it would take a big Georgia win to keep them out.

Is Tua a legit pro prospect at QB?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Not a lot of competitive games right now besides Rutgers of all teams. What an egg Wisconsin laid this year.

@LegionOfDoom91 @JojoTheWhale @FLYguy3911

Is Tua a legit pro prospect at QB?

He’s not eligible to leave this year anyway but i don’t really see why he couldn’t at least be a day 2 pick. I’d imagine he’ll be a top 2-3 QB on most boards heading into next year depending on what guys like Herbert & Haskins do.

@LegionOfDoom91 @JojoTheWhale @FLYguy3911

Is Tua a legit pro prospect at QB?

Absolutely. Potential 1st overall.

Not this year, as LoD said.

 

[FLYguy3911]

He’ll be the only lefty in the league iirc.

 

[Asnito]

Absolutely. Potential 1st overall.

Not this year, as LoD said.

Yeah I think he's definitely a top 10 pick

He's got a brother who is committed to Bama this year although he's not supposed to be as good.

Yeah those are big shoes to fill. Saban has bias with his QB’s when it comes to styles. Tua was just too talented to ignore it.

Mark Helfrich did a good job of ignoring it.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Welp disappointing season but still have a legit shot at another NY6 bowl at least.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Is Olivia Dekker the best sideline reporter going right now? And by best I mean best looking. Holy smokes.

He's changing though. I wouldn't be surprised if a Tua type isn't what he recruits in the future.

After the loss to Manziel he changed the type of D Lineman he recruits and they're much more mobile. He also modified his defensive scheme.

I personally think he's like Torquemada, he self flagellates. One whip for every point given up.

I'll raise you one Laura Rutledge

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Pam. Oliver.

 

[Asnito]

I don't know if she's still working for ESPN but Kaylee Hartung is another.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Auburn is either really good or really average. Never an in between even during a down year.

Just to add to this but Tua reminds me a lot of Baker Mayfield. Totally different personalities but have the "IT" factor, move well, very acccurate, thrive under pressure and both throw a really good deep ball. I'm sure there's other people on here who could break it down better for you

 

[Normand Lacombe]

I don't know if she's still working for ESPN but Kaylee Hartung is another.

She's a correspondent with CNN now.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Kingsbury is canned. Unless he takes a smaller job he might be a pursued OC at both the college & NFL level this offseason.
