The New, Improved Dumbgeon (Including Random Thoughts from around the site by UCF and UM fans)

amazing how people can participate in this thread and STILL think that performance on the field is some sort of big factor that these conferences care about.

 

 

Utah and TCU's invites into the Power 5 were very performance based. It depends on the conference and whether it fits their profile. For example every member of the BIG12 plays in their own stadium so I don't see that changing.

 

tcu got the invite based on performance and the fact they could make the conference change over the summer. every other team couldn't change conferences without major penalties and the big 12 needed a team ASAP

Also the fact that they were in the same conference with most of the B12 schools prior.... that move wasn't based on performance.

If moves were "very perfomance based", Boise would have gone before Utah ...

This. TCU was in the SWC back in the day.

 

And don't forget how great Utah's PAC rookie partner - Colorado - has been, in, like, oh yeah, never.

Forgot about Colorado when then the chuckleheads talk about mostly performance based movement ...

In Colorado's defense, they do have a National Championship. Something 8/12 teams in the conference can't say. And that includes the one UCLA won in 1954.

Should have quantified mine with ​mostly recent performance based movement ...

I agree, they are irrelevant if you're 18-22 years old. But if you're middle age (and up), you remember Colorado was once a legit team and so was Washington. If you're anything like me, sometimes you forget how long its actually been since some of these teams were any good and you find yourself watching/following a bit out of habit.

3 weeks ago half this board was talking 10-12 losses. Now some are talking about if the loss by Louisville helps/hurts the chances of  USF beating Louisville.

Winning tends to get people to overblow things. 

 

Realistically, we don't have much of a chance against L'Ville unless we keep their offense of the field and generate a pass rush of the likes we haven't seen this season yet. Bridgewater will destroy our defensive backfield given the opportunity.
