Heard a radio show bagging on Georgia and comparing the program to Clemson. Is it true that graduation rate for the Dawgs is only 45%? The host was basically saying Georgia's mindset is "win at all costs" and Clemson is more about getting a degree first and foremost. He also mentioned the criminal issue in both programs as well. I'm sure the tale is the same with many programs. I thought it pretty weird to hear on a Michigan radio show.

Read that this morning.  It was Clemson’s radio announcer if I remember correctly.   Think he said it was 41%.  The transfer portal is going to make that worse for everyone.

Yep.  I can see how coaches would be unhappy about that because the job was pretty tough to begin with, then two radically different things get thrown into the mix, one of which put quite a few teams on probation.  Younger coaches have to deal with it if they want to continue, but around Dabo’s age there’s probably several that say fuck it and walk away.

Not many UGA players stick around once they are draft eligible, you see a lot of them in every draft too.

I would love to make fun of the bigger schools over graduation rates... the numbers are as meaningless as political polls.

When you can major in business or basketweaving and have a full time paid tutor/teacher come directly to the football players so they don't have to go to class. I start questing the validity of the numbers and if that degree they "earned" actually means anything.

Talk to people on some of the bigger campuses. At some colleges the players don't physically go to class.

Georgia also has nearly TWICE as many players drafted than Clemson in the past 5 years.

In just 6 years, Clemson went from winning 2 of 3 National Championships to “your football team might have destroyed our football team, but our football program has a higher graduation rate than yours, so, there!”

The incentive should be greater to play a tougher OOC schedule since you can get in with more than 1 loss, unlike the 4 team playoff

That's how I see it. Now teams can afford losses.

Possibly 3 loss teams with really tough schedules will even get a shot.

Looking at all the blue bloods future schedules, there’s quite a bit of heavyweight games in the near future.   It’s not going to be like the 70s, 80s, and 90s when teams would schedule all their ooc games against fellow power 5 leagues.

I think you’ll find that most recruits care about NIL $$$ more than anything else.

To combat that, look for NIL caps to be implemented, which will create more parity in CFB.

No doubt, but for 5 and 4 star players, “we have twice as many NFL draft picks” is more enticing than “we have a higher graduation rate.”

12 team playoffs allows you to play big opponents of conference because a loss a team like Michigan, Bama, UGA doesn’t automatically eliminate your team from the playoffs.

QB switching is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. PSU sucked that one year until they finally decided on 1 QB after the other left? They kept switching between a tall guy that couldn't throw and a short guy that could throw, but didn't play well with tall lineman.

If you don't give  QB's several possessions in a row, you will fail.

I was thinking maybe…..maybe I would consider Michigan around 14.5……maybe

Michigan fucked me out of a free $3300 last week. I have zero faith in them now.

I should have known, superbowl/national champion  curse is real.

When was the last time a team went from Top 10 to completely out of the rankings...in a 2 week span?

Goes to show you...again...how worthless preseason polls are.

Why is Clemson still ranked and not Idaho?

Edit.  Not a usc fan, my teams not even going to make a bowl game.

Do me a favor and go look at the game ending interception. Watch the ball, does the defender not use the ground to help catch it?

Zero attention to either game deciding catches in the last seconds.

Also I hate LSU as much as USC, but I might hate USC more, as I haven't watched a single game with them that appeared clean.

I'm only arguing that this weekend was the first time I saw 2x things.

#1 Saturday was the worst officiating I've seen across the board. It was embarrassing to the point the commentators couldn't ignore it anymore.

#2 College football teams holding talent back. There was a few times it was clear teams knew they could take a few losses and still *make it*. So why risk it until the big games come? There was a few games that looked like preseason Noone cares NFL games.

Unfortunately, the next few weeks aren’t much, if any, better.


You can thank Super Conferences and the 12 team playoff for that. No incentive to play a tough OCC anymore.

Uh, whut?

12 team playoffs allows you to play big opponents of conference because a loss a team like Michigan doesn’t eliminate your team from the playoffs.


We've yet to see how teams are selected for the 12 team playoff.  Best to win more non conf games than less I'd say

If USC wins out () do you think they’ll be excluded instead of a team with a shit schedule like ND?


USC wins out. ND wins out, both are in.  Maybe even at 10-2 they'd both be in.  

Whatever criteria the committee uses will be different on different years.  Whatever they gotta do to maximize profits as that'll be the end result
