boring day at work, gave this a shot since it's something I weirdly pride myself on. got all 130.

I got 117, most embarrassingly missing new mexico, UNLV, and florida atlantic

[MOWJO8185]

I only got 109. Definitely some I knew but had major brain farts on. One I'm most annoyed I missed was FIU.

Honestly not sure I knew South Alabama was FBS. That's the only one I looked at at the end and thought it didn't even sound familiar.

What about this one, naming the actual schools just by conference: https://www.sporcle.com/games/jcgamer107/all_fbs_teams - I got 121 on that one, fucking missed Navy who we play every year.

I guessed so many different things for ball state. could have sworn they were just the "red birds"

Towards the end I actually started typing "eagles," "tigers" and "bulldogs" for things. Actually got Louisiana Tech that way completely by accident.

[CrushB610]

I skipped a few the first time around, and went back to them- La Tech was one. Only reason I got Texas State is cause I did a Dynasty with them once in NCAA.

I only got 101/130 on the just naming the schools by conference quiz. I really had a tough time remembering teams outside the power 5.

The Heisman is Trevor Lawrence's to lose right now.


Sporcle. God dammit. I'd like to go to sleep tonight.

It's been great watching the shit show revolving door at Texas QB for the last 10 years. Apparently Thompson isn't even a sure thing.

r/CFB post about the Clemson vs Bama coaching turnover question: https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comment...a_and_clemson/

Since the 2015 NC game, Bama has retained 0/9 asst. coaches, while Clemson still has 7/9. Crazy.

[sully51]

That is ridiculous. I remember when we were peaking 2004-2009 it felt like our DC was turning over every single year. Every hire was "oh man its great to get [Chizik/Muschamp/etc], I hope they stay more than one season..."

Greg Davis on the other hand...

Chizik didn't lose a game from 04-05. Went from Auburn to Texas.

Went to Greenville this past weekend. So much Clemson shit. It's even more surreal seeing in person. Clemson. God damn Clemson is the best program in the nation now. Crazy shit. Dabo still doesn't get enough credit.

Remember that stupid phrase "Clemsoning?" vary vary dumb

They’re the current national champs but they’re not the top program overall. I think you have to at least be one of the 15 most valuable programs to be considered for that. https://247sports.com/LongFormArticl...9/#128030289_1

[Lee3691]

Yes, Alabama is still the Alpha program of college football

You know Tennessee and Texas are on that list right? Clemson has the same number of titles in the past 3 years as those two combined in the last 30 years. And Michigan? lol I think they've passed Notre Dame as the most overrated football institution in America here recently. At least Notre Dame made it to a BCS title game and the Playoff.



The list is interesting but come on Clemson is sitting in high cotton right now.

I really think this has a lot to do with the fact Alabama is Alabama (already built) and Clemson is still building. There will come a time when Clemson faces this issue, imo.

clemson isn’t the top program, but they are certainly firmly established in the top 5 of and over the decade, and for me (a biased alum) i’m hard pressed to place them any lower than 3, behind bama and ohio state. i’d say ahead of the buckeyes though.

there’s been a huge clemson investment in greenville over the last five+ years. our grad school has business and engineering programs up there. and for those graduates that don’t want to go to atlanta or charlotte, it’s a great growing city along that 85 corridor and just 35-45 minutes from campus. the university as a whole has grown a bunch since 2010 and the success of the football program, along with rising tuition costs and a sizable out of state population, has been a significant boon to the upstate.

the program at clemson is super insular though, which i think also plays into this. the dabo hire in and of itself was a very contained program type move. from an offensive coordinator perspective it’s been home grown guys, morris for a few years, now elliot and scott. venables has indicated he has no intention of going anywhere for the next couple of years. i agree with your point to bama being established and so it’s easier to turn over coaches, but also lately it’s every single year there’s a change. and they bring in guys from all over. there will be eventual turnover, but i don’t know if i envision it going the same way with clemson, for at least as long as dabo and the current university/athletic department infrastructure is in place.

Yes, I didn’t say Clemson wasn’t ahead of those teams. That is a list of the 15 most valuable programs, though, which I think you have to take into consideration. Clemson is a top 5 program right now. Don’t think anyone would disagree with that.

[emu513]

Clemson is a top 2 at worst program right now.

Two different conversations... product on the field vs products in the gift shop.

[pearljammer]

Wow, USC signee Bru McCoy, the #9 overall player in the nation has put his name in the transfer database(tired of hearing the word 'portal'). Apparently Texas is where he wants to go now. Under current rules, he'll have to sit out a year but it'll be interesting to see this play out. This is one of the draw backs to the early signing period, imo. Either way, it's a huge blow to USC and Helton.

I know I know I'm just bored I want CFB back



I think Texas is going to make some serious moves in 2019. I think they would be a great bet to make the Playoff.

I feel your pain. Basketball is helping, but i don't give one fuck about baseball. I'm actually gonna go to at least one Birmingham Iron(AAF) game and see if it's worth a damn.

Baseball is so fun to watch in person but dreadful on tv. We went to a ton of baseball games at UF and always had a great time, especially heckling the opposing right fielder.

I'm curious how things will go without Lil Jordan. I'm assuming that will lead to doubling up on Johnson. I think Ehlinger will be exposed as the chucker he is. Those two big/awesome WR's made him look way better than he is. I hope I'm wrong.

[Lee3691]

I think there are some Ole Miss fans in here. One of your former players, who is basically the size of a child, spoke to my group yesterday - Richie Contartesi.

Yeah Auburn had a bad week but yeah CBB does help. I fucking love baseball. I can't wait for Opening Day


Hardly anyone else shares my love for college softball but I'm pumped for that too

If they beat LSU in week 2 or whenever then watch out. That would be a fun ass game to go to
