You have to go back a few years with the Big Ten ... I was actually referring to when Ohio State and TTUN were in different divisions ... They played every year.
I didn't know that Georgia wasn't a Bama rival.
You have to go back a few years with the Big Ten ... I was actually referring to when Ohio State and TTUN were in different divisions ... They played every year.Georgia & Alabama aren't considered rivals in the SEC. Georgia's rivals would be Aubarn followed by Florida and Alabama's would be Aubarn followed by Tennessee.
Back in the 10 team days, Georgia & Alabama hardly ever played. They've just never been considered rivals.
The only permanent cross division match that the Big Ten has is Perdue & Indiana, because they're in the same State. The SEC (as did the ACC) meanwhile gave everyone a permanent cross division opponent to preserve several of the old SEC rivalries (Georgia/Aubarn, Alabama/Tennessee, Florida/LSU).
I do wish the SEC (as well as the ACC) would go to a 9 game schedule though in order to better cycle the other non-divisional games. The expansions to 14 teams have killed the frequency of those games.
My Bad ...He may be talking about the University President making a statement about how since 2014 Alabama has played more daytime home games in september than any other conference school. Again, that was the President, although Saban did mention how he wished some of the games were at different times. The broadcasters set those times however.
The only other thing I can think of is Saban has for years harped on the students leaving the games early when its a blowout against a OOC team, which it usually is. He walked that back a little this week saying he knew it was hot at the games and that may present a hardship for some fans.
For the life of me I cant see how either of those situations equate to Saban "bitching about the heat".
A recent common misconception, considering they have played a good bit of late, but notice that’s all postseason.I didn't know that Georgia wasn't a Bama rival.
Beating Texas at Texas is more than just a "bit better" than Cincinnati at home.LSU did not play better than Ohio State this week, they just played a team that is a bit better than OSU did.
Just like when Alabama & Florida kept meeting in Atlanta for a few years. Those two were never considered rivals either.A recent common misconception, considering they have played a good bit of late, but notice that’s all postseason.
Between this, and putting the LSU band in the nosebleeds, should make it interesting when Texas goes down to Baton Rouge next year.
I'd put them in the parking lot.
Maybe a step, but not a Huge one.Beating Texas at Texas is more than just a "bit better" than Cincinnati at home.
1(Coaches)-2(AP) spots isn't a huge step.Maybe a step, but not a Huge one.
And your buying into the campaign that Ohio State should be on the top as well.Cincy is MUCH better than most of you think and you all bought into that "Texas is Back" campaign.
1(Coaches)-2(AP) spots is about as a small a step as you can take.
And your buying into the campaign that Ohio State should be on the top as well.
I see no difference here, other than LSU beat a power 5 team on the road, and Ohio St. hasn't.
So who has the better resume so far?
I agree, that's why I like how the CFP and the old BCS/Harris poll waited over half the season was over with.Not taking anything away from OSU but Cincy beating UCLA isn't exactly a statement. They also got beat by the Aztecs.
My thinking it's too early to rank teams, I like to see at least 2 quality wins and you don't really know until more games are played. Example Texas could drop a couple more games so the LSU win over Texas doesn't mean much. Ranking are worthless this time of year except for unfair positioning for playoffs, and the big-name schools always get this advantage.
I have Not said I think the Buckeyes should be on top .... at all.1(Coaches)-2(AP) spots isn't a huge step.

You are right about the ranking ... they don't mean squat ....Not taking anything away from OSU but Cincy beating UCLA isn't exactly a statement. They also got beat by the Aztecs.

You are right about the ranking ... they don't mean squat ....
However, they are doing what they are suppose to do ... we are all talking about them.
You like to see two quailty games ? Yes
No one has played 2 quality teams yet, thats hard to do this early ... That's my point
Some don't play more than 2 quality opponents all year. Then they shouldn't be ranked .
Yes,Looks like Florida’s QB Felipe Franks may be out for the season with a leg injury. Bent over backwards going for it on a 4th down.
