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.

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
