Hating on the $EC - Mostly Alabama (and a little Georgia too)

[lineygoblue]

As long as OSU can get to 6 games it's in the CFP. I don't see the B1G getting to championship week though.

And I think that's what the league bigwigs have wanted anyway.

The league will lose some TV revenue if they shut down early, but six regular season games, plus a share of CFP money will help ease the pain.

Yep.

Bammer 87 OSU 3

Once OSU gets to 6-0, I think the remainder of the conference season is toast.

OSU will still be allowed to move on to the playoffs, but everyone else is going to get shut down.

Bama closes the gap with Clemson in the AP poll.

STFU

Bama picked up its 5th 5-star last week. We now have a 94.2 avg. Regardless if we finish 1st or OSU nips us and we finish 2nd (which is my guess), we still have a monster class with the highest rated set of O-linemen recruits in history.

The thing is, back in February we were 53rd and people were saying “THE BEGINNING OF THE END!!!1”

Heh. That, and the 2007 chatter of “Saban will only stay at Bama 2 years!” makes me happy.

Ohio State probably has to go 3 for 3 on its final "big 3" recruits to have a chance at topping UAT. Even then, I'm not sure. We'll find out about Derrick Davis shortly. Egbuka is almost certainly in. JTT is a big mystery. Ohio State or, heh, UAT (IMO). Heh. Go figure.

[iam416]

I guess they may also have a shot at Raesjon Davis...if he's ever able to visit. Thank you, Coach O for that little dumpster fire you have going on!

[AlabamAlum]

Honestly, Bama has a thin lead with 22. TOSUC with 20 and that close is poised to clip us. But honestly, regardless, both classes are monster.

[iam416]

Losing Latham was a really bad development for Ohio State. OT is going to be a hole in this class. They really need Paris Johnson (2020) to be outstanding.

But, yes, I'm happy with the 2021 class. Despite Froot's consistent bad-mouthing, Coach Ryan Day has done a nice job recruiting. If he can get past the 2021 season (and that's going to be brutal -- no Fields + 2019 class was garbage), then he should be set. 2020, 2021, 2022 (eventually) -- those are three classes you can win some games with.

[AlabamAlum]

Yes, you gotta love Ogre’s world unraveling. Of course, their whole world depends on beating us in a week and a half. If they don’t, Ogeron will become Chizik2.0.

[AlabamAlum]

Never understood Froot’s unbridled hatred of Coach Day.

[iam416]

Orgeron fell ass-backward into a fucking unicorn. He's total garbage. That said, Ohio State's QB room is going to be jacked in the near future so it's possible he can snag another CRD-developed QB to save his ass.

Overall, though, I'm sure LSU will take the MNC for several years of meh. But, that's what's coming. The question is whether LSU tolerates it longer than Auburn did with Chizik (who, of course, won with unicorn as well).

The rampant hatred for CRD befuddles me. The whole state of Michigan apparently thinks he's a clown.
