It will likely end up being both the SEC and the Big 10 fighting over UNC (and likely UVA).

It, um, doesn’t work that way. Tennessee would be playing as the away team in that case.

I sort of doubt that. I don’t think the whole “pods” thing that people keep wanting is ever going to be something that comes to be.

Honestly, it’s also going to depend a lot on how much time this new offensive line gels and can keep him upright as well. (If JC’s rookie year ends up having continuing rookie growing pains at the most important blocking spot on the offensive line, it’s going to be a rough/long year.)

They are. It’s gone as of this season (2024). (Also meaning Georgia was the last ever SEC East Champion and Alabama was the last ever SEC West Champion.)

@DeerPark12 would probably be the most likely to be able to give you an answer on this (presuming it’s even been made public).

Trade to move up in the second round last season.

Or they don’t have confidence in their backup at all, whoever that would be between Zappe, Brissett, and Rourke.

Also the conferences get to keep a larger portion per household from the subscribers in households in the state footprints of their member teams.

It helps when they’re already set with solid players or stars at a lot of positions.

Not likely. We're just in that dead period for college football where a lot of people start spreading rumors about "team leaving conference to join other major conference". But unless a court suddenly rules all the ACC contracts as illegal, movement is likely pretty slow (if nonexistant)...

The sizes of the metropolitan (city) media markets in their state footprints. The Big Ten’s footprint includes the likes of: Chicago (3rd largest) Philadelphia (4th largest) Boston (8th largest) Washington DC (9th largest) Detroit (14th largest) Minneapolis-St Paul (15th largest)...

I think a lot of people aren’t seeing (or realizing) just how much of a rebuild this team is having to undergo after the overall roster and performance decay over last 2 seasons.
