NCAA Football '11-'12

[Barrister]

I have also heard that the Pac-XX is not at all interested in "religious" schools like BYU or Baylor.

I've got a lot of pull with them.

Wyoming does some research!

This is getting to be a done deal.

If the future of college football is the 4 16 team Superconferences the conference(s) that move the quickest will be in the best shape and Larry Scott has shown he is willing to get out in front of things like this.

I still don't think that 16-team superconferences makes sense.  I suspect that they will be formed in the not-too-distant future, but won't last.  Really, I don't think that anything above 10 members for football makes sense, execpt that conferences want 12 so they can stage a championship game.

I agree.  I have no desire to see any 16 team conferences, but as a fan of the Pac-10 I would rather see them get ahead of it and get good additions rather than be left in the cold, or stuck with Boise, BYU and other dreck.

So I hope it doesn't happen, but if it does I hope we are the first to do it.

I agree.  Six ten-team conferences with round-robin play and some scheduling reform to induce some difficulty in OOC play is infinitely preferable to 12 eight-team conferences (because that is what the four 16-team conferences would amount to) with the current emphasis on playing patsies OOC.

Div-1A is also too big.  Some of its teams should be relegated to Div-1AA, and the restrictions on 1AA recruiting should be lightened.

Do you agree with the part of my post where I suggest that 16-team conferences won't last?  Because if you do, it sounds like you're saying you want the PAC-10 to be the first to launch a doomed experiment.

TCU-Baylor game

False Start - Everybody but the center!

[CountDeMoney]

#14 TCU 23, Baylor 27 with 7:00 still left in the motherfucking 2nd quarter.  6 lead changes.  Blow for blow.

Little punky Baylor, the Baylor that even JFK used to goof on, giving #14 in the country every bit of a fight they could want.  Kids going nuts.  Players psyched out of their heads.

This is why college ball will always be better than the pros.

I really don't want to watch Oregon get slapped around by another SEC team.

Well, guess fucking what.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Oh hey I just got home.  Nice score.  I see RGIII is still a one man bowl bid.

the Baylor that even JFK used to goof on

  Never heard of this.  What did he say about them?  I know about the Rice thing, but not Baylor.

I know.  I will watch and they will get smacked.

Oh Valmy, Grande picked up the LHN.  You have that?  Some dudes on the Shag are saying channel 839 is LHN HD now if so.

Edit:  Also, the second football game is Kansas - Texas on 29 Oct.

Rice, Baylor.  Who cares.  THATS NOT THE POINT MAN
