.........and picks up Grambling.

Huh?????????????

Bucks are dodging the Huskies of UConn -- not the Washington variety. If I were Grambling, I'd be insulted.

Memo to Lincoln Riley from we USC alumni: stop trying to dodge everybody and play'em -- and beat'em -- straight up, the way USC has always done it! If not, we'll assist you in dodging your HC office at Heritage Hall.

Grambling might be an upgrade. Uconn went 3-9 last year.

If I were Grambling, I'd be thinking about what I want to spend the cash on.

1) I'm sure Lincoln reads this forum.

2) Didn't Lincoln dodge the SEC altogether by jumping ship to go to USC?

3) Next time you want to start a thread like this, just go jerk off BuckI in your own private DMs. Or take it to the Big10 board. Because nobody here gives a shite about tOSU or USCw

In today's era of CFB beefing up your schedule makes absolutely zero logical sense, unless you're a fringe top 25 team in the middle of the pack in a crap league and you need to try to add some statement wins to your resume.

With 12 regular season games, plus a conference championship, plus potentiallly 4 MORE postseason games after that all against top 5-10 ranked opponents...I mean what is the point? Especially if you play in the SEC when your 12 game regular season is already going to be a murderer's row anyway.

For dumping UCONN?

Ohio State would curb-stomp the both of them.

The 12 team Playoff is going to be a shite show.

There will be mass riots when a 9-3 SEC team (with 3 losses to top10 and top 5 and #1 ) eventually snagging the 12 seed from a 10-2 ACC team who beat one ranked team all year.

The committee has been wildly inconsistent so far but Strength of Schedule could end up being a major factor going forward. Who knows though it’s all a political circle jerk.

Well it's 2025 not 2024 as 2024 starts in 2 months

OSU also opens 2025 with Texas.

They certainly aren't dodging anyone

Oh I disagree because I think most rational thinking people would understand waht's happened. I think it's the exact opposite. I think some shite team that wins an auto-bid for winning their league making the playoffs while a clearly much better team in a strong league with more losses gets left out if what will have peopple riot.

Auto-bids are so dumb.

Gotta disagree here too. I thnk they were the very model of consistency for the first 9 years of their existnecce. I still have no idea how to explain last year's lunacy so you'll get no arguemnt from me on that one.

I’m not sure I buy Lincoln was afraid of the sec. I think that’s something ou started bc they didn’t like how usc humbled them with the coach steal. I remember tenner suggesting similar things when lane left(couldn’t handle sec pressure). Despite the bad product on the field usc has a lot clout. Stealing a coach from tenner and okie, two blue bloods, isn’t something to scoff at. Plus they straight up told usce east no usc or sc anymore.

We didn't start it. College football fandom writ large started it.

The B1G and SEC should dump the rest and form their playoff. The G5, Big 12, and most of the ACC drag us down.
