College 2023 College Football. The Year We Needed 8 Teams***Official Discussion***

[My Spot]

Ohio state put an insane number of players into the NFL long before Urban. I just assumed that Urban's secret sauce was actually preparation and in-game coaching.

Was Urban's talent that much better than Tressel's? You probably remember the 2007 NCG; was Florida really 27 pts better than OSU?

Ohio St consistently had top 10 classes under Tressel but I think every single Urban class was at least top 5 (if not top 3).
That 2007 title game was a combo of Troy Smith getting fat after winning the Heisman, Ohio St buying into their own hype, motivation for UF since a lot of "experts" thought we didn't belong, and supposedly a fight in the Ohio St locker room when Anthony Gonzalez found out that Troy Smith banged his GF.
As an aside, 20/22 of our starters in that game were Zook recruited upperclassmen.

Does anyone else think that if Bama wins they'll still need either FSU or Texas to lose? I think the potential for the SEC getting left out is likely if both of them win.

How about Ted Ginn getting gang raped by his own team and injuring his ankle after returning the opening KO? That wasn't a good sign.

This is Barrett Robbins walking in on Terry Kirby banging Robbins wife at Super Bowl XXXVII all over again!

Is that why he went mental?

Are you old enough to remember the LA Raiders and Greg Biekert beating up Scott Davis?

I thought Barrett Robbins was bipolar or something and skipped taking his medication?

Yea, it was pretty well known out here thats what really triggered his meltdown, walked in on them inside Robbins room at the team hotel and lost his mind, understandably so imo
Thats also why Terry Kirby never played another down in the NFL, he was already nearing the end of the line and that just put a stamp on it
Its amazing they were able to keep it a secret back then, no freaking way the story doesnt leak all over the place now days

I never followed the NFL til the Raiders came back to Oakland so I dont know any of the LA stuff

Knocking Georgia out with us would be worth it.

If I'm going down then I'm taking everybody with me!

Ideally, Bama wins and FSU loses.

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

Oh, Kirby, my friend. You will be buried alive with me!

 

[Pittie Petey]

Did someone say an SEC free playoffs?

What kept you from being a Niners fan since you already like the Giants?

I still think the committee would tell FSU to get fucked <Lmaoo>

12-0 and conference champion? That's just too damn bad, pal.

Just never really cared about the NFL, when the Raiders came back in '95 it was the cool thing to do so I went to a few games and then got hooked and went completely All In when I discovered the joys of tailgating
Thats also why it wasnt that hard to stop following them when they announced they were leaving, it was the fun community aspects of being a fan that I loved so much, when that was gone I didnt give a hoot about looking at the NFL on tv anymore

As they should, unless FSU puts up 60 points and Rodemaker throws for 400 yards against Louisville.

"There you are, you've won your little conference and gone undefeated, patiently waiting for your playoff spot. Then someone like Saban ZIPS in and takes your spot and you say, 'That's not fair!'"

"'Well we beat LSU too! That's not fair!"'
