@CFBNerds Now cherry pick Texas A&M’s schedule from last year. This is mixing and conflating two things: 1) super-conferences will produce more extremely difficult and easy schedules; 2) the ultimate results speak for themselves.

@GopherInsight @BudElliott3 I can’t read it any other way than intentional satire.

@iowahawkblog The issue is paying for the public infrastructure necessary for the latter.

The former is more cost effective. The latter is a drain subsidized by the former.

Small rural towns are great and fit into this paradigm as more efficient urban areas. Urbanists should love them.

@PeterBrumbaugh @fashion_nfl The “OhioStatE” logo is atrocious and needs to be ditched 15 years ago.

@BenjaminSolak @NextGenStats Do those calculations assume the possibility Seattle scores a TD on their next possession stretching the lead to two scores? If you make it 31-30 and then it goes 38-30 you’re still alive. Or if it goes 34-31 you have a lot less field to cover to tie for OT.

@TravisRockhold So, Oregon?

@LightningTX77 @dennisdoddcbs @ESPN_BillC Yea it’s just shy of the Miracle. But that’s a hell of a second place

@RedditCFB Would Ohio State go 6-6 in the ACC?!

[Kurt Martig @kurtmartig]

@seanglazier @BuckeyeShawn007 @RossDellenger It’s plausible that Pettiti doesn’t want 16 so his crusade for 24 is totally fabricated in order to keep it at 12 and let things play out a few more years.

[Kurt Martig @kurtmartig]

@seanglazier @BuckeyeShawn007 @RossDellenger 100%

[Kurt Martig @kurtmartig]

@BuckeyeShawn007 @seanglazier @RossDellenger The narrative will remain but ultimately I think the committee will dwell on that loss column as it always has and there will be close to equal participation between the SEC and B1G.

[Kurt Martig @kurtmartig]

@BuckeyeShawn007 @seanglazier @RossDellenger So the fear of a playoff being majority SEC might be something of the past.

[Kurt Martig @kurtmartig]

@BuckeyeShawn007 @seanglazier @RossDellenger And now the SEC is going to a 9-game schedule which distributes another loss to half the conference. That will most likely lead to those over-ranked teams in the 10-25 range falling down farther and some out entirely. This finally favors the B1G, ACC, and B12.

@Spirit29 @CFBHome That’s a requirement?! Isn’t a play dead once ground contact and a defender is making contact? Another bizarre rule.

[Kurt Martig @kurtmartig]

@CFBNerds Isn’t it possible that all the top ten recruiting teams you reference were also paying. But the teams after that were paying less and eventually nothing. So it’s the latter, the Indianas, Illinois, Utahs, Kansas, etc that now are pealing away talent from the SEC

[Kurt Martig @kurtmartig]

@AndrewMLind I also wonder if there will ever be a “loan” system as in international soccer. Send your stud blue chip recruit to Bowling Green to get immediate starter reps then bring him back to Columbus for a final year or two.

[Kurt Martig @kurtmartig]

@AndrewMLind Yea this is the way. There’s no sense to sitting on the bench and getting limited practice reps. Go to a place where you’ll get live game reps immediately. Learn and develop physically. Kienholz is an example of a talented player who wasted critical years at OSU imo.

[Kurt Martig @kurtmartig]

@Genetics56 I’ve been wondering if the next frontier is international soccer style “loans,” where young players are sent to start at lower level clubs to get experience and development.

[Kurt Martig @kurtmartig]

@RossRFulton This is an absolute indictment of the play slow strategy. Ohio State was winning success rate. Play quick to generate more snaps and you win that game. Incredibly inept game management strategy.
