I think the PAC 12 is better than the Big Ten this season.  I think USC gets in as conf champ

USC just needs to beat the one time again that beat them already in Utah and they should be in. Winning your conference championship should matter.

I'd send USC myself, I just don't think they'll drop OSU from being basically 1b to UGA all year to out of it. OSU will definitely be rooting for whoever USC plays in the PAC-12 champion game that's for sure.

You may be right it is very close.  I think Williams probably wins the Heisman with a good showing next week and that should help the USC cause as well.  The committee will want him in the 4

If USC plays Utah in the PAC-12 championship and wins convincingly to right their one stumble I can't see keeping them out. It'd be one thing if OSU lost a close game to Michigan but they got trucked.

So what have we learned this week

I think there is an argument NIL/transfer portal is bringing parity to big time college football.  There isn’t a group of dominate teams in college football this year.  Generally there are a handful that are just on another level.

Yeah, you can't keep 5* recruits developing on the bench anymore when they can transfer elsewhere and play immediately.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
