USC still searching for an AD.

Manziel doc was pretty good. I had kind of forgotten about the hype and hysteria about JFF. Some good stories in the film, but man, he just never gave a **** about anything
Exactly, he really didn't give a **** and that was the biggest takeaway here. Things really took off after A&M beat Alabama and then after he sold those first autographs things just started to spiral out of control. Gotta give him credit though for being so forthright and talking about all his **** ups and not making any excuses for his behavior.
For sure, although the whole thing kind of came off as, “this is why I was a spectacular bust in the league, but I could have been awesome had I actually tried”. Almost like an image booster for him
Interesting, hadn't thought of it that way.
Maybe it’s just the cynical side of me on that. I honestly came out of it a bigger fan of him than before
A few high level observations coming into the season:
- Top teams UGA, Bama and tOSU all breaking in new QB's
- Michigan has a very favorable shedule with McCarthy and Corum returning
- Alot of FSU hype and we should know alot about them in the first month with an opener against LSU and a road game at Clemson
- USC has the Heisman winner but their defense remains a question mark plus they have some tough road games.
- UW and Oregon both have interesting non-con road games that are far from a gimme - UO at Lubbock and UW at MSU
- ND has Sam Hartman from Wake but plenty of challenges on that schedule - tOSU, USC, and at Clemson
- Keep an eye on Louisville as a darkhose in the ACC as they avoid Clemson, FSU and UNC
- If Conner Weigman pops at Texas A&M who knows what their ceiling is
- Other non-con games of interest: A&M at Miami, Texas at Bama, WV at PSU, Florida at Utah

Boulder mother****ers, Boulder! Coach Sunseri and William’s dawgs are going to hunt Heisman QB meat all game long.
SEC scheduling baby!
Crazy how the road game at Tennessee is far and away the hardest game on the schedule. Second place is not even close in difficulty.
Another reason by the Euro soccer model of relegation is inapplicable to college football. No way UGA or Alabama is letting Vandy drop down when Vandy is a guaranteed cupcake each year on the conference schedule.
No doubt a very favorable schedule getting Kentuck and SC both at home. At Auburn might actually end up being their 2nd toughest game. But in fairness they had a game scheduled against OU that had to get changed due to the Sooners moving to the SEC.
An OU game would have put it on par with a middling schedule in most other conferences
Holy ****
Town name checks out
This year's UGA schedule exposes a big fallacy with divisions plus only playing an 8-game conference schedule. The East is down and the schedule worked out in such a way that they avoid LSU, Bama and A&M out of the West. Divisions in the SEC go away next year and it's fully expected they go to a 9-game schedule in 2025.
Embarrassing OOC sked. Geez…..
SEC scheduling has been and will continue to be a joke. That conference isn’t in the business of subjecting its top programs to more difficult matchups than is absolutely necessary, both location and opponent included. I’ll believe things will change with a 9 game conference schedule when I see it
the sec is a joke. They play 4 body bag games a yr. just to protect their little fifedom. Their league is not really better than anyone else’.
They won’t change unless the rules change or the networks make them change.
Will they take Oregon State and Washington State into their league?
They all usually play one decent OOC opponent, many times this game is at a neutral site or within a few hour drive, with 3 G5/FCS, all 3 of which are typically at home. And then of course with an 8 game conference schedule, it’s much easier for the conference to conveniently have the big, cross divisional programs miss each other (since 2008, Alabama and Georgia have only played 3 times in the regular season, same for LSU and UGA).
So pretty much every year, they all have at least 7 home games, sometimes 8, and they never force the best programs to play before their championship game.
It’s one of the most unequal aspects of the CFB landscape. The sport would be so much better if there were rules dictating 9 conference games and at least 10 total “Power” matchups
Meh. Next year’s Skeds kind of rectify some of those notions
This schedule doesn’t present many interesting, nationally televised games.
Tennessee, Auburn, maybe Kentucky. I wonder if it hurts their exposure?
