Since its basically the most exciting thing going on right now, what is everyone's opinions on the conference realignment? Do you think its good or bad for business? As a student at the University of Tennessee i'm diligently watching for any news of who the SEC is adding if anyone. Right now i'm hoping for Texas A&M and Virginia Tech(Which would be very hard to pull away from the ACC) if we go to 14 and maybe West Virginia and either Maryland or Missouri if we go 16. Well i guess these are the ones i think are plausible. I would love North Carolina or Duke but growing up in ACC country i couldn't fathom them being in any conference. I'm rambling now, so Huddle what is your opinion on all the movement in college football?

P.S. sorry for the off topic but there hasn't been much movement lately and i'm tired of looking at Thomas Davis tears ACL, makes me sick to my stomach.

You are forgetting about basketball. UNC and Duke can bring in a lot more in basketball than football.

There is no reason to jump into the SEC unless they show a serious commitment to improving their basketball.

UNC and Duke are a few of the exceptions, in most cases the football program brings in so much more $$$ than the basketball program that schools are going to consider what is best for the football program first and foremost.

This is being done for one sport.......football. the big money (television contracts) are in football. That's why Kansas is being hung out to dry in the Big12. They have a great basketball program but their football sucks and no major conference wants them. They'll have to join a mid-major.

I love what's happening because it could lead to the NCAA getting cut out of major college football. That would make me very happy.

Wvu will never leave the Big East as long as the teams already in there, stay. And I dont think adding Texas A&M to the SEC helps the SEC out that much, they're pretty mediocre in football as of late. It would be nice to see VT in the SEC but enless they're guaranteed some huge cash, I doubt it happens.

The sad thing about the expansion is it doesn't look like it is mainly about the quality of the athletics. It seems to be all about who they can add that is decently competitive in football that is in a big tv market, they are trying to expand the viewers. There was a report the other day that the SEC will not take Miami, Florida State, Clemson, or Georgia Tech because they wont add enough money to the pot, even though it would help make the SEC an even better conference. I find all this weird though because i dislike the idea of just taking another conferences team, i have a lot of good opinions on the ACC. I guess its just all part of the business though.

The nice thing about all the conferences consolidating is that it could lead to a college football playoff system.

      Jalen Ramsey

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, I get why the media and some NFL and Carolina fans are saying that we don't have a real chance, but as many Huddlers should know, we won't know what we really have in this team until probably late September or early October at the earliest. And I'm not trying to be a homer, I'm just looking at things historically. Obviously I'm also looking at Bryce's "palatable" improvement the last half of last season (including being the catalyst for hanging with and nearly beating the Super Bowl participants), and the new additions that we've acquired overall. I'm also looking at the beginnings of a culture change--even if perceptibly subtle--to some degree indeed may take a foothold if things start falling the right way. But, overall, I'm still cognizant of the realization that things could just go south and that perhaps that Bryce could revert and flop, or that D & D (Dan and Dave) are not the answer, but I still am not ready to say "we're far away." Hell we could be close, albeit with growing pains, but even if we're on the course to bring legit in 2026, then guys like Ramsey would be welcome additions this season. That's just my take on it. I don't think we'll know that we're far away until some point in the season. If we can compete in the South...who knows?

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      You guys remember when the narrative on here was that Bryce would be chronically injured in the NFL due to his size and Anthony Richardson would be super durable due to his? You remember when the narrative was that Bryce was physically incapable of throwing a ball further than 20 yards in the NFL? You remember “I’ll stop complaining when he throws for more than 200 yards and looks like an NFL quarterback”? You remember when 60 sacks was his fault and not the offensive line, slow WRs, and terrible scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers. It will always be something for some people. Whatever insanity they come up with will be quickly dropped to move on to the next thing. Bryce could have an MVP Super Bowl winning season and they would complain that we can’t run the tush push with him. It will always be something.

      For the Panthers fans still low on Bryce and demanding that he be a top-10 QB this upcoming season: What stat(s) will you need to see? Not the vibe you want, but rather what does he need to be top-10 in specifically? Passing yards? Completion percentage? Win-loss record? PFF grades? EPA? CPOE? Asking because this was asked before and... well... it ended up that the folks down on him didn't care about the numbers as much as they cared that they just couldn't get passed his size regardless of how he performed. It would be nice to get a straight-forward answer to that without the usual deflection and redirecting.
