Don't worry, UF will have another loss or two before the season is over so you don't have to worry about Oregon taking your spot. Big game for Oregon v Utah. The winner has to essentially has to beat the other twice to potentially make the playoff. Quote HistoryQuoted:

how the hell does Oregon jump 4 spots by beating a .500 team on the same weekend that the only team that Oregon lost to lost their 2nd game? Big game for Oregon v Utah. The winner has to essentially has to beat the other twice to potentially make the playoff. I mean, Michigan jumped 5 spots by demolishing a top 10 Notre Dame... but we all expect that silliness when two media darlings are involved |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ties? That is pure God Damned Commie Shit! Fuck ESPN. Bama and OSU have won titles this decade. Sooners have made the playoffs the last two years The others haven't been relevant in years. Monk Nebraska had a couple of good teams in the 70s and 90s. You think they should be considered "bluebloods?" Washington has as many Natonal Titles as Texas. Yale has 27 National Titles. Princeton has 28 National Titles. @nailcrusher @wakeboarder Those that take a "more historical" approach to determining "blueblood" programs should be complaining that those two programs are not included. |

How about you use AP poll era data? Like every other normal college football person And- no one cares about national titles in the historic perspective. It was about conference titles, bowl wins, and Heisman trophies. Blueblood programs are ones who have national recognition even when they suck, i.e. Michigan since 2003 |

Every college program has its ups and downs, some more, some less. What is surprising to me is how a program like Nebraska has been so consistently down without coming back. I'm not even talking about being a contender, just a consistent top-20 program.

They fired Callahan too soon. He had the offense thoroughly modernized and humming but the defense was giving up points. So he fixed that by recruiting a guy named Suh. But he got fired the year before Suh started. Then Pelini had no idea what to do with the offense and undid all his good work. Riley was a disaster. Pelini's first two years they almost won the Big 12 twice with literally no offense. Callahan would have won at least one of those, possibly two. Hopefully Frost eventually gets them where they need to be. Quote HistoryQuoted:

It's going to take several years to right the ship. Hiring Bill Callahan after firing Frank Solich was one of the most idiotic moves in college sports history. Hiring Mike Riley after firing Bo Pelini wasn't the brightest decision either. Bo Pelini was a good coach and when he lost the support of those above (harvey perlman) him is when the wheels came off of his time there. (2nd Year Coaches in CFB) Chip Kelly (UCLA): 6-14 Scott Frost (Nebraska): 8-12 Jeremy Pruitt (Tennessee): 8-12 Joe Moorhead (Miss State): 11-10 Jimbo Fisher (TAMU): 14-7 Dan Mullen (UF): 17-4 And don't say he inherited a great program because the team went 4-7 the year before he arrived. Then the first year makes a NY6 bowl. |
