Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I say flip ND & PSU, but they'll keep PSU at 5, despite the poor showing(s), for ratings & bc the committee loves some b10+8

Notre Dame needs to finally be forced to join a damn conference. They are not a playoff team and it's a joke how they play a partial ACC/hand picked schedule. No room for the ridiculous favoritism they have undeservingly enjoyed forever. F that stupid school and wish mid-state TN kids would stop going to play there unless they aren't wanted.
 
I will be pissed if OSU doesn’t drop below us with the comparable ranked losses, strength of schedule and our better road loss.

But I know ole Ward will say Michigan isn’t a bad loss even at home.

So I am fully prepared to be kicked in the nuts and have to go play OSU.

I feel really bad for our fans who would be at Neyland. Having that taken away will suck.

I hope we use it all as fuel. Go into the shoe and dominate for 60 minutes.
 
Heather Dinich has OSU hosting us. She’s the mouthpiece for the committee. Doesn’t seem like we’ll host unless Texas beats UGA and/or Penn St gets destroyed.

Where's Chris Rainey when you need him? J/k but I'm bout tired of Heather Dumbi**h's mouth and the money grubbing committee D-riding the B10+8.

We get it....they represent nearly half the college football fans in the country but the shilling for them needs to stop immediately for the integrity of the game. Same applies to Bama....don't care if they are the favorite team of every bandwagon casual fan in the country.

The expanded playoff has made the regular season amazing, has brought back the fans that bailed due to NIL and has a lot of support. That support will go tits up if the committee keeps trying to manipulate things to favor big money instead fair competition.
 
It was fantastic! Feel like that changed the momentum our defense had. I know we threw the pick right after, but after that int, our defense started playing much better.


He doesn’t make that play and we’re down three scores. It was a ridiculous pick. The WR had two hands on it.
 
He somehow kept that team from quitting...it is actually amazing. They will always be a problem.

The SEC is just a minefield...with NIL creating more parity in the SEC, I think the margin between being a 3 to 4 SEC record team and 6+ win record playoff team are going to become ever thinner.

I hate that Beamer got lucky with Sellers...that dude is singlehandedly going to bail ol Slingblade Carl out.
Yeah..layaway really sparked things for Florida too. Both of those kids are gonna be problems.

There's a lot of talk about that last spot.. But I think what is a harder decision and should be a big debate is how far does OSU drop... And should it mean they have to go on the road. And I think it comes down to where they have Bama and how do they compare a home loss to end the season to a 6-6 team... Or a road loss to a 6-6 team 6 weeks ago? I think the road loses to Oregon and UGA are a wash.

The thing that will not help, is how highly they think of Penn St....vs Bama.
 
Kentucky is a mess.
There is obviously a lot that will happen in the next few days but here are some educated guesses (not certainties:

- I think we could see a change at Def Coordinator. It is the vibe I get, even though I haven’t heard anything definitive. If it happens, I would guess House or Clink as the replacement

- Culture behind the scenes was beyond awful this year. The main culprits are either done with eligibility or will be asked to leave

- I think Mike Stoops may very well retire and there will be at least one other position coach change

- Brock won’t be at UK next year and it wouldn’t shock me if he decides not to play football next season

- I expect Walker and Key to the Draft. Barion to the portal. I worry Maclin may go to the portal as well

- Bush is almost certainly back and the players picked in portal will be for his system (which they believe Cutter, Saunders and possibly Wimsatt) can run next year

- Keeping Willie Rodriguez is a huge priority but not certain. Same with some of the young defenders who saw time

- From those around the program, Stoops is considered to have become energized but also defiant…meaning he is motivated to succeed to prove people wrong. I have always thought that can be hugely successful as a motivator but also can go the other way if not channeled correctly. We shall see

- The relationship between Stoops and Mitch got bad mid season, culminating in real negativity around Tennessee game and the comments Mitch made after Pope beat Duke (which I think Stoops incorrectly took as a shot at him). I am told that is better but still more fence building is needed.

That's my take now. Tomorrow’s meetings with coaches are hugely important for future of a couple

I’m dumbfounded by Ohio St fans that have Ryan Day on the hot seat. 99% of other college football programs would love to hire Ryan Day.

Who can Ohio St hire that is proven to be better? The grass isn’t always greener.
I disagree. He inherited a fully built national championship program and has squandered it.
 
Yes, SMU would jump us in the bracket even if they were behind us in the rankings due to being a conference champion.

I’m expecting us to be in the same spot Tuesday with us projected to go to Columbus instead of Athens.

I think I have the above right but somebody correct me if I’m wrong.
Miami losing guarantees only 1 acc team makes it, whoever wins the title game. If Miami won today, there's a chance 2 acc teams make it, both ranked possibly above us. So it's not entirely moot that Miami lost.

Depending on how championship weekend goes, it could come down to the final team in being a two loss Miami team or 3 loss Bama. If that's the case, I hope they pick Miami. Screw Bama!
 
I think we should jump UGA. Yes, they beat us head-to-head, but committee has shown that doesn't matter. UGA got taken to the wire by GA Tech, at home. That performance should be enough for us to jump them, just like the committee has jumped Bama over us in the past, even when we beat them.
Hopefully texas and oregon win by at least 10 next Saturday. We can possibly get bumped up 2 more spots

Dabo is the Clemson version of Fulmer..

I can already hear him after he gets canned jawing about his feigned righteous integrity in not adapting to the new college landscape. "The man upstairs just wouldn't let me compromise my morals." No Dabo. Everyone knows that you're in a trash conference that had the traditional football powers of Miami and FSU at half-century low points. Southerners know you also benefitted in recruiting from UT and UF being at low points and UGA just starting to ascend.

Everyone knows you're at a school that had plenty enough money to cheat the "bama Christian way" when you could bully financially needy kids using leased cars, a few stacks of Benjamin's and ridiculous rules about not taking trips while committed to gain control. Your really were in control once you had enough talent to guarantee that recruits would be able to display their talents in the stupid 4 team playoff. You will be remembered for beating up on a flimsy schedule consisting of a bunch of basketball and academic schools while FSU & Miami struggled to get their ish together.

Everyone knows that your coordinators were uncommonly loyal for a long period of time and once they left fhen so did the development and scheme. Everyone knows you're a fake evangelical snake-oil salesman who is at a school that doesn't have the resources to compete in an era when kids and their families don't have to settle for your charity crumbs and finally have the power to be fairly compensated for their talent, hard work and for the negative impacts on their health.

Take your hypocritical BS back to whatever backwoods Bama hole you came from, you flash in the pan hack. Even Bama knew not to come calling on you once Saban retired because even they know you're a fraud. Ironically, Saban retired while in protest of many of the same things you hate about NIL.....mainly, that you no longer are able to abuse the imbalanced power dynamic achieved by controlling kids and parents with paltry sums of money. At least he didn't try to act like they were "gifts from God".

You are the embodiment of everything Christianity should not be and the only negative about your decline is that USCe benefits. Blessedly, humanity benefits from you being exposed as a fraud of a coach even if your ill-gotten wins remain and you get to cling to your thin veneer of righteous BS that nobody will call you out on because our limp wrist society won't allow criticism on protected topics like religion.

But I think you and your maker are going to have an uncomfortable discussion in the future. Hope it was worth it and at least the Lord was able to use your pathetic lies for the benefit of some young men and some good folks who supported Clemson with their hard earned money. I recommend self flagellation as atonement for your sins against people less fortunate than you but that will never happen so you better use all that money you made and the decades of free time you will soon have to actually do some good in this life and say a lot of prayers that you don't reap the same rewards as others who have used religion as a tool for personal gain and self glorification. BTW, take Jimbo Fischer with you when you go....he has plenty to answer for too.

Ok, @Ulysees E. McGill I am going to bed so keep watch over the night shift. Hope you enjoy the lengthy reading material in this post. I know you agree and have seen through his BS from the beginning.
