To be fair they have Georgia Tech in their schedule, so this isn’t that big of a deal

Play your big out of conference games in the playoff, not the first week or two of the year. Please. Notre Dame gotta go, more ASU-level P4 opponents. I also have season tickets, I don't care about these big games on the hottest day of the year hahah

That’d be great if this happened.

Not in playoff

grok says thats bernie sanders and a fake.

Recruits want to play in the playoff

Still push Osu and michigan to the future when rules are changed and its a 16 team playoff. IF it stays as is, we are likely going to be in the same situation in 2026, 9-3 w/ great SOS(that committee doesn't give a F about).

Agreed. As a fan, I want entertainment. High profile non-con games is guaranteed entertainment. The possibility of making the playoffs is not guaranteed. So give me one more guaranteed fun game per year. Odds are we’ll win 50% of them, anyway. And if we do, it greatly increases our odds of making the playoff.

Bring on Notre Dame! Great football… ! cfplayoff is in the sh$&ter anyway…! Recruits wanna play these games! We lose… and not get into playoffs…. No big deal my life is as guuud w out havin to please these socialistic - whoosy like obey me cfp committees whims and wishes Lets play Notre Dame! Its fun … its football … we Are Texas! lets be the bull not herd like whoosification of college football !

That same sloppy team that made it to the playoffs two years in a row and just barely missed this year? You must not been around before Sark. 🤦‍♂️

The 9th conference game should balance out the schedules and give everyone in the SEC more than enough in the strength of schedule department. This was also a weird year with the number of 10-2 teams. There were a lot of them.

It’s simple folks they graduated early and they can practice but can’t play.

We will be fine at edge, but it definitely sucks knowing that he will presumably go to A&M or Tech or Georgia and turn into a monster. 🙄

SEC branding as the top tier conference has a lot of sway (i.e. Aggie). We wouldn't be penalized much. Especially when it expands (soon). More risk losing a big non-con.

Vanderbilt was the victim of Vanderbilt imho. They scheduled VT when they were bad and VT was good not their fault. No one really wanted Vandy in because they’re literally the only SEC team with a fan base that doesn’t care or travel like the rest.

He would be fantastic in a Keilan Robinson role.

They were enrolled and had already moved on campus.

Dia Bell will be very good after Arch is finished playing

I don’t think we’re limited to a 4 year run I think this was like 2001-2004 where we had elite players and development but couldn’t quite get to the BCS thanks to poopy 💩 stoops (and INTs against Colorado

What is the cost benefit if a loss keeps us out of the playoffs? With a 9 game SEC schedule next year 2 conference losses will be common.

Amen

Private equity isn’t the cartoon villain some want it to be — but let’s also not pretend it’s Santa Claus with a balance sheet. PE does one thing extremely well: it professionalizes chaos. If an athletic department is already drifting toward employee compensation, revenue sharing, and semi-pro reality, PE just stops the pretending and prices it correctly. That alone makes people uncomfortable, because it replaces vibes with math. That doesn’t make it automatically good, and it definitely doesn’t make it automatically evil. It means incentives get sharper, accountability gets real, and nostalgia gets evicted. Some fans call that “destroying the sport.” Others call it finally admitting what the sport already is. The real risk isn’t private equity showing up — it’s schools wandering around in this half-legal, half-amateur gray zone with no structure and acting shocked when something snaps. Utah at least seems to be saying the quiet part out loud and trying to build guardrails instead of pretending 2012 still exists. No, this isn’t the USFL. No, it’s not BASEketball. It’s college football admitting it’s a business — and now arguing over who gets the keys, who sets the rules, and who gets paid first.
