I have never believed in luck. You make your own so called luck by your actions or inactions.

After watching literally thousands of College and pro games, I am always astounded at how certain outcomes come to be.

Many people call it Luck! I call it the better team won.

re: Alabama is probably not going to beat Indiana.

Posted by bamaoldtimer on 12/22/25 at 11:50 pm to theballguy

Here is the interesting factoid about this game that no one can deny.

Measure the last 4 years of recruiting both from high school and portal. How much NFL quality talent on each squad?

Indiana will be facing a team that beat Georgia.

JMU scored 34 on Oregon. IU squeaking past the Ducks was impressive
IU squeaking past Penn St was impressive
IU squeaking past “The Ohio State University “ was impressive.

IU will not squeak past Bama.

With you 100%. I think for those who don't know better (including me), we're just addicted at this point. And they know it. Sigh.

I’m addicted. Been watching college ball 60 plus years. I love it. I honestly miss the old bowl system. AP, UPI polls and the arguments after bowl season who really was number 1.

The Sugar Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl were filled with awesome games. Sometimes but rarely we had a 1 and 2 matchup. But it did not matter. Even the lesser bowls before New Year’s Day were good with great matchups. Kids played ball for old U and mom and pop.

I know we are not going back to that. However, these SUITS are doing everything they can to commit suicide regarding us fans. Who the hell can afford to go to all these games and if they expand it will get worse. They have turned our sport into semi pro ball and it stinks.

re: Committee should be abolished... This is embarrassing

Posted by bamaoldtimer on 12/20/25 at 9:14 pm to bamabonners

Here is my uneducated analysis.
1. Sec, Big10, ACC, B12 are the puppet masters behind the CFP.
2. The commissioners of each have masters they answer too
3. Theses masters are the School Chancellors./ Presidents and their respective boards.
4. The BCS and subsequent CFP were designed to extract the maximum monetary benefit for the masters above.
5. This weekend cost these masters mucho dinero. I’m sure the payouts are predicated on tv viewship and ticket sales etc. with an appropriate division to all.
6. Can you imagine the tv rating for a Miami/ ND rematch today.or, a Texas / Oregon game in Eugene? Lots of money lost today for the masters.
7.G5 was included to avoid lawsuits from these lesser conferences. They may be bad in Football but collectively have much political clout in Washington.
8. This shitshow will get worst by adding more games but they will have too and I don’t think 16 is the end.

So, what will I do as a fan? Not watch
Have a good night.

I turned off both games before halftime. Not worth my time. Now I’m going to rant

We fans have been financially supporting these SUITS, (Disney, Fox, NBC, CBS, TBS (Warner) for a long time. We have willingly paid exorbitant ticket prices, travel costs to watch our team play.

If I was an Ole Miss or Oregon fan who spent thousands to see their team, I’d be furious at selecting such crap opponents.

For us fans who just love college football, today was a big slap in the face and a frick you by those who put on the CFP.

We fans need to do something so this kind of DEI shite show never happens again.

Thanks for allowing me to vent.

So I saw the line for a zero zero halftime score would be +10000 or higher. So if you bet $1000, what would you have won. I’m no gambler so I don’t know.

Kudos to OU. I was not sure until your kicker missed the first field goal.

We have a budding rivalry just coming out the ground. You have a good team and you’re a credit to the SEC.

Indiana has played two teams. Oregon and OSU
Credit to them for winning those games.

You really think Bama Loses by 30? :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

re: Another playoff tweak, guaranteeing the 4 "major" conference champions inclusion

Posted by bamaoldtimer on 12/18/25 at 1:26 pm to bigDgator

My simple plan
ACC
SEC
B10
B12
Go5

1 all get two teams as determined by each conference
2. 6 at large determined by committee after using old BCS algorithm, and a fan poll taken for 3 days before selection to rank with final say by committee. Do away with weekly ranking show.
Must have G5 include or lawsuits will be filed and really screw up stuff

Play out where only semis and final at neutral site.

re: Where is all the OU/Bama mud slinging?

Posted by bamaoldtimer on 12/17/25 at 7:58 pm to Naked Bootleg

Our dynasty of the last decade is over. We are starting anew. There is a different emotional mindset these days. I’m fine with it.

You only sling mud with fan bases who are wannabe champions.. The OU fanbase is very similar to the Bama fanbase. Both are blue-blood programs and know what championship ball looks like.

Will be a hard nosed played game and I have no idea who will win.

re: OU vs Bama …..football talk

Posted by bamaoldtimer on 12/17/25 at 7:52 am to Zgeo

If Bama from last year and this year shows up, OU wins again. I keep saying Bama pound for pound is the better team but heart has everything to do with winning and OU has shown plenty.

It will come down again to fumbles and INT and special teams play. I have no clue who wins this game. I know it’s going to be a battle between two blue bloods and it will be close again.

Wish I could have gone to Norman. Never been. My wife’s niece graduated a few years ago and she raved about OU.

Here’s to a good game and hoping the Refs call a good game :cheers:

Good move for him. If he starts next season playing like he ended this season, Texas will be a factor for SEC title.

ND

Posted by bamaoldtimer on 12/15/25 at 5:48 am

1. Should we let ND in SEC with similar arrangement as ACC?

2. Should ND be a full member of SEC?

My answer to 1. No
My answer to 2. Hell No.

Will it happen? I’m afraid Sankey and ESPN will push for it. Why else would the AD at ND only call Sankey as he mentioned after being snubbed. From playoff?

Thoughts?
