When is that pod schedule thing going to kick in? Shouldn't we start that before Zero U and Blowhorns join us? You know to work out the kinks and such?

But even being sent to the east along with UAT could help--at least we'd no longer be unique in having to play such a gauntlet. But in any case, I'm thinking they finish out their contracts with the Big 12. Edited September 12, 2021 by AUwent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I do not want to be in the East with bama and georgia and florida, playing some static schedule while OU only has to play LSU and TAMU each year. I would rather play a larger variety of teams each year in balanced rotation.. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is absolutely no reason that Iowa is #5 other than they beat a wildly overrated Iowa State. Similarly, why the heck is Texas A&M still in the top 10? They absolutely should have lost to Colorado and didn't look great against Kent State either and now they're down a starting quarterback. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with anyone in the SECW is that it’s all going to get sorted out eventually. Every team in the SECW has been ranked this season already, except MSU. If you keep winning in this league, you’ll shoot up the rankings! And if you’re overrated, that’ll show pretty quickly too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you can make this argument about 9/10. teams in the top 25. Why are we in the top 25? We have played absolutely nobody haha. At least Iowa has played two power 5 opponents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you--having the TN schools as permanent opponents would be awesome!--but just being realistic for what I think is going to happen. Every team in the east would have the same brutal schedule we would have. Unless, of course, UAT throws a fit about wanting to keep the LSU series and they decide to have more than nine conference games to have perma cross div rivalries. 1 hour ago, Zeek said: This is why preseason polls matter.

The CFP poll is the only one that matters, and it doesn't take effect until late in the season. Edited September 12, 2021 by AUwent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
