NCAA GDT: Week 14

[SpookyTsuki]

I don't see how Ohio state would jump MSU. MSU beat them. Im pretty sure they go to the rose bowl.. again.

Iowa would get jumped by OSU and rightfully so

 

[mouser]

I would expect a one loss OSU to hop a two loss MSU, even though MSU beat them. Fair? Nope. But that's how it usually goes in the rankings.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

That's how it works. Its not fair but one loss is better than two and they can't leave MSU where they are in case Clemson or Bama loses.

 

[USC Trojans]

USC entering the game with a lot of emotion. Despite everything that has happened this season, we managed to make it to the conference championship game and a chance to avenge the loss to Stanford. Plus, the players are riding high after Helton is named full time coach. It'll be tough, but I think we have a chance to win this one.

RIP in peace eh? Southern education at its finest.

Actually, I believe that phrase originated in Finland so

I just got a facebook update saying Lincoln Riley was interviewing today for that job?

Also, Northern Illinois and Bowling Green should actually be a fun game to watch tomorrow.

I saw a couple places that they were working out the details, but I also saw that its down to Riley and Muschamp.

Twitter has pretty much ruined sports lol...everyone trying to be an insider....

 

[Fro]

well, that solves the post of mine...they're still interviewing

Bruce Feldman ‏@BruceFeldmanCFB

Lulz. Rich Rod or Muschamp. Not exactly a good choice either way.

There's a pretty big difference in those choices. I think Rich Rod could win a lot of games at South Carolina, but not get them to where they think they deserve to be. Nobody can do that though.

Why do you say deserve? I mean its not like its a former elite program. Didn't Spurrier take them to new heights compared to where they had ever been?

South Carolina thinks they deserve to be in the SEC Title Game every year just like most of the other teams in that conference. I could see Rich Rod winning 8-9 games a year there, maybe getting to one of those.

let's be honest, it's the sec east, he could probably get there by winning six

i am going to make this my cover photo on facebook on saturday in order to give unc good luck against clemson

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

i really hope someone from either side responds

Funny but a fair point. The SEC East is soft except for when Florida and Georgia are good. That's what you get when your division has some basketball schools.

Tennessee is also a really good program, just in a giant slump since letting Fulmer go. I fear the same is going to happen to UGA.

In terms of 'deserve', UGA is the worst with what they think they deserve. Firing a coach when he was winning 9-10 game a year for a school that has 1 National Championship (they claim another in the '40 but meh) and 1 Heisman, neither of which makes a school elite.

 

[Hockeyfan02]

Tennessee has the talent to be really good again, just not sold on Butch Jones at all. He's recruited well but his in game management in close games leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[mouser]

South Carolina was 17th in producing 3-5* recruits over the last 5 years. That ranks them 8th of the 11 SEC home states behind Texas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi. Ahead of only Missouri, Arkansas, and Kentucky. Yeah, there are lots of other factors involved and schools recruit heavily out of state, but the majority of other SEC schools are starting with a better pool of local talent to build a foundation on.

Which illustrates an interesting thing with New Jersey. 12th overall in producing upper tier college players (ahead of states like Michigan and Tennessee), very few of them stay in state. Rutgers is the only FBS school in the state. Once they qualify for the full share of B1G revenue there's the potential in future years to build a strong football program there just by recruiting locally.

Rich rod is so bad

You mind letting me know where you pulled those numbers from? Stuff like that fascinates me and I'd like to look at them
