Roaming Bull

so the “tougher” teams they beat were: Purdue, Pitt, and Wake Forest. Not sure how good Western Michigan or Army are. Their gimme was Colgate. Looks like they got blown out in a couple games as well.

I think this could be a fairly even match. We may even have a punchers chance.

1st Analysis:

USF vs Syracuse
Thursday, December 21, 2023
8:00 pm ET, ESPN

No Research Instant Analysis: USF will bring the intensity. It’s not like this year’s team is all that great, but it’s well coached, and it’s on the upswing in a stepping-stone year. But will Syracuse show up as it waits to get the Fran Brown era started? Yup. Let’s start the bidding at 250 Orange rushing yards.

First Thought Bowl Prediction: Syracuse 45, USF 13
Line: Syracuse -5.5, o/u: 57.5

I get the texas argument . I really do.

unfortunately they couldn't put alabama in without texas who beat them and they weren't going to put fsu in over bama.

Time to go to the new and improved BCS, Bender Championship System. Humans have failed us again

Texas beat the sec champ. otherwise georgia gets in over them and fsu

That loss to OK is a mulligan? Or what? FSU didn’t lose a game. The ACC only had 3 schools that were below .500. The Big 12 has UCF and 5 schools with below .500. Outside of that Bama win Texas beat basically nobody. Ok St is there other best win. FSU beat LSU and a ranked Louisville, plus most of their opponents were above .500. Texas being in over them doesn’t add up.

there are only 4 spots. the champs from the 4 best conferences were chosen. sucks the acc was down this year.

The Big 12 seems to be worse than the ACC. The committee was just sucking up to Texas and the sec.

LOL. FSU already had one foot out the door. This doesn't change anything in that regard. And the Big 12's current playoff representative is headed to the SEC next year. There can't seriously be anybody amongst those schools that feel like being in the Big 12 will be demonstrably better than the ACC after FSU and Clemson leave. They're going to dissolve the GOR and forego the hundreds of millions in buyout money from FSU and Clemson?

Agreed. That post is asinine. No way those schools want to move down to the B12. They may have reached out to whoever is left in the B12 to see if they want to come over to the ACC though. The smart play for those schools is to collect the money from whoever leaves, then do whatever their hearts desire. If dissolution to create a new conference is what they want pop off sis.

Imagine if the deal was STrong had to keep weist and the Gulf Coast offense. Strong should have only focused on his speciality the defense.

That should’ve been the deal. If Strong didn’t like it we should’ve let him walk. If a coach fails at a school like Texas it should be a red flag. He had near unlimited resources and was at the preeminent football school for the state and couldn’t get it done. His philosophy and how he handled the players seemed shortsighted.

Had we just elevated Weist we would’ve been in a better position imo. We also probably would’ve side stepped the Scott error.

20 minutes ago, Outlaw said:

thank the real guy for the Gulf Coast Offense TJ Weist.

the one that got away. Oh what could’ve been had he been the coach and not Strong

Can fire up the BCS and make sure the playoff committee got this right?

Bought and paid for by ESPN 

it’s the extra ooc game for the SEC season. This schedule only reinforces the SEC is so great narrative. This is insular propaganda.

And that's the conference we're hoping to get into, one with this level of disrespect? Oy vey, we're never going to have nice things, are we?

Maybe FSU/Clemson can take that juju or stigma with them to the SEC when they change conferences? We all know this is mainly Clemson’s fault. Going 2-2 in the championship game is just not good enough to help your conference.

how can oregon ever get in?

Looks like FSU didn’t do enough. This committee couldn’t miss an opportunity to take a swipe at the ACC

Is the ACC stuck on the secret language in the contract? You know the guarantee of a conference spot if we win the game? I think if we lose we have to name the stadium Doak Campbell II for 20 years or change our colors to match Clemson, or something like something like that. Either way we have no option, but to win this game

Houston hires Tulane's Willie Fritz after poor Big 12 debut - ESPN

WWW.ESPN.COM

---

After leading Tulane to one of the best stretches in school history, Willie Fritz has been hired as Houston's new football coach.

 

He tanked their season for Houston?! The players deserve better. That’s unprofessional. Best of luck to Houston with that guy

Tulane coach off to Houston. He got out of the ****** AAC. Congrats to him.

Fritz was looking like a lifer. Maybe this is why they lost?

Is FSU playing their way out of the top 4 by not dominating Louisville?

with the bulldogs losing will Ohio St., Texas, Bama, or Oregon be in? Could you imagine 2 PAC-12 teams and no SEC, or 2 Big 10 teams and no SEC. Would blow some minds. FSU, Michigan, Washington, and ????. Unless FSU poops the bed and opens the door for the sec.

Oregon should have to get by us too.  

We need to start scheduling a couple more 4-10 ranked schools to ensure they’re well tested.

52 minutes ago, Outlaw said:

Bama is probably going to win it all again.

If they get in over Oregon it will only be because of their quality win over USF. We could’ve played king maker this season.

So this guy has actually coaching experience with real players, right? We will see some improvement at some point, right? I don’t think I’ve paid much attention to basketball since Antigua.

That sounds like the right place to get supplies for a sophisticated affair like the Waffle House Bowl. Maybe they could co-sponsor the game?
