Oregon's been 9 conference games for quite some time

Other conferences don't run from a challenge like SEC

You are sucking the B1G dick now, your PAC is dead. Even the PAC didn't start playing 9 games until 2006.

The ACC is still at 8. The B12 and B1G are at 9, and still don't have as challenging schedules as the SEC. Why make it harder than it is when you don't have to? One conference is smart - 8 games, 11th week byes - the other isn't smart. I like being in the smart conference.

We'd be idiots to make our schedules harder. You guys just need to get better across the board so it's fairer for you.

PAC 2006, B1G 2016.

You guys whine about it like you've been doing it forever. Honestly, as much as PAC/B1G fans make an issue of it and have forever, I thought it was something that had been going on for decades. I was very surprised to see it's a recent development, based on trying to ensure access to the BCS and CFP, and make more money.

Lol @ SEC homer failing to grasp that 8 more conference losses hurts everyone's SOS

Yup, as they lost yesterday I said for Bama their problem was their loss to Vandy. For OM their loss to Ky is killer, and LSU being down isn't helping them. Notre Dame and Miami show that you can lose one bad one, but you better win the rest. The SEC can likely get away with 2 losses, so long as only one is bad. Lose 3 and you better have one OOC and the other ones better limited to one bad one at best.

I do wonder if this is going to be the new norm as the NIL and transfer portal starts eating away at depth for the formerly top teams, and makes the mid-teams dangerous. If you look at OM, they won for a variety of reasons, but the main reason is that their DL overwhelmed our OL. Kiffin stated that he went in to the transfer portal with that in mind.

Maintaining good Depth is absolutely going to be a issue for the upper level teams with NIL and the portal. Kids are much less likely to stick around now if they can’t see the field very quickly the depth spots are going to be pretty revolving door.

I totally, 100% undestand that if we play one more game, we get 8 more losses across all teams. Who doesn't understand that?

I also understand that you guys voluntarily decided to go to 9 games. Congrats. We'll stay at 8 games until it makes sense for $$$ or competitive advantage. And I understand we are still the best conference even though we play one less IC game.

Also, LOL for you calling someone a homer like that is a bad thing. In your first year in the conference you've sucked more B1G dick than anyone here. Pot meet kettle.

Yeah, they may regret that. Then again, if he gets them to 8-4 every year, they will be happy. How long was that contract?

I also think the conferences learn from these first 2 years. My guess is that the SEC stays at 8 games, goes to a 1-7-7 format, and does their best to make sure the schedule is way more balanced. Then they will do something that allows them to adjust it every 4 years.

Unbalanced schedules are a major problem in these now mega conferences. Of course some years shit just happens and more teams than usual are worse than they maybe should be but there’s likely always going to be a few teams that really benefit from the unbalanced scheduling

Yeah, do the one rival, 7 rotating games and make sure you get 2 top tier, 3 mid tier, 2 low tier games. Re-evaluate every 4 years, or something like that. For TV and NFL-like reasons, you can have the top tier play a tougher schedule.

The hard part is deciding who is what. OU and UF are down now, but have a history of being good. Same with LSU. Auburn sucks, but is more mid than low, with an occasional top. Goodness knows about ATM. UTjr is mid, but will be in the CFP this year and Bama is out. OM is historically bad, but considered mid to top now, although the top is in question. Glad they pay someone a lot of money to figure it all out.

@NewPhoneWhoDis Texas is basically the exact same resume as Penn State, will you acknowledge that or does that disrupt the SEC slobberIng?

I agree Texas has had an easy slate of games too. I also think if Texas and Penn State were to play on a neutral field -- Texas would probably be a 7 point favorite.

Drew Allar is a solid QB when he is playing against teams they are vastly more talented than. He is non-existent when he plays teams with talent.

I'm not "slobbering" anyone -- I'm calling it like I see it. The SEC was already considered the top conference and they added Texas and Oklahoma. The B1G was always right there with them. We added Oregon, USC, UCLA and Washington.

Here is the problem -- USC, UCLA, Washington, Michigan, Michigan State, etc. are all medicore to bad this year. INDIANA is a top 4 team in the B1G, let that sink in.

I'm not arguing that psu/Indiana run through sec.

It just means more in Eugene and Columbus

What means more? If Michigan didn't win the national title last year, every title won would have been won by teams outside of Eugene and Columbus for the past decade and wasn't won by a team in their conference.

Now, this year, it means more?

Oklahoma is no longer a “top” team at least at current time.

The ENORMOUS difference between, just say, Oklahoma, compared to B1G teams outside of the select few at the top of the B1G is -- they can sign top 10 recruiting classes. They can sign 5 star QBs. The B1G teams who are not a 'top' team right now will never be able to sign a 5 star QB and will never be able to sign top 10 recruiting classes.
Tell me a team in the B1G this year that would hold Bama to 3 points? We don't have one.
Oklahoma has the talent - what they haven't had is the QB, but they changed it up on Bama and used Arnold's legs, so I will be interested to see how they fare going forward, even though they have lost their top 4 WR's.

You’ve got SEC brain rot trying to talk up Oklahoma. A team who had not beat a FBS team since September before Bama.
