Recruiting to Washington and recruiting to Alabama are two entirely different things.

There is no way that the Big Ten gets two teams in again this year. They got two last year and both promtly lost. Michigan has the stength of schedule that ranks 110 out of 132.

Cheap shot is a strong word. It was as close to a perfect form tackle as you can get. Did not hit with the crown. Did not lower head and launch.

He was a below average college QB. His pro career will be short and uneventful. He would have been better going in the third round where he could potentially develop. He will be expected to perform at an high level almost immediately.

Every year Ohio looks unbeatable. Every time the make the playoffs they get their butt kicked. They play in a completely non-competitive conference. They have no idea how good they are. Stroud, fields, Pryor, Haskins, Barrett. All of them are the best in college football until bowl season

Switching to Auburn does not make any sense. It is a lateral move to a athletic program in absolute turmoil right now.

First, Saban was nowhere close to being fired by Miami. Second, Alabama has made some interesting Coaching choices since Bear. What we did not do was to constantly make embarrassing missteps in looking for a new coach. We did not have Jetgate. We did not hire a firm to find dirt on existing coach. We did not have the University's academic accreditation put on probation back in 2003 for micro management by boosters of the university board of trustees. We did not fire a head coach two years after winning the national championship. We did not give a marginal head coach a $49 million dollar extension only to start trying to fire him a year later. We did not carry out a firing of a new AD and his coaching hire in the media for all the world to see only months after hiring both of them.

What part about what I wrote would you consider untrue?

I think the only thing we know for sure is that much like the last coaching search that gave them Harsin, All of coaches that Auburn wants will have absolutely No interest in being Auburns coach. They had grand plans last time around the the choices that caused all of this were Harsin and Kevin Steele. Steele was the choice of the Auburn money alums. Neither was the home run hire they wanted. Why would Prime waste his shot at the big time on a disfuntional school that will likely grow impatient before a total ground up rebuild can show any results. Why would Kiffin leave Old Miss for what is now a lateral move. I do not see this ending well.

The Hits just keep coming.

I some ways I really feel bad for the average A&M Alum. It is a great school with a great history in all things not called football. Their biggest issue is the big money alums who were so ready to beat UT to the top of the football world that they became UT in throwing stupid amounts of money at a average football coach. Doubled down when LSU came sniffing around and now is stuck with a $90m embarrasment on their hands.

As long as A&M has to pay Jimbo $100 million the answer will always be the same. It will end in disapointment.

Losing a starting quarterback in the first quarter and still covering the spread against a ranked team is not struggling.

A&M is an excellent school with lots to be proud of. As a football school you are the equivalent of Meghan Markle. Completely irrelevant but likes to complain about why they should be.

out of his 12 years as a head coach he had 5 finish in the top 10. He had 3 finish unranked. it depends on how you want to account for the unranked years. His average is around 20.

Jimbo does not have a solid coaching record. Other than the Winston years at FSU he has a average final rankings of the mid 20's. He is Gene Chizik with a better PR guy.

I don't understand why people complain about this site. If you don't like their take on the SEC then go to another site to read. I do believe that a lot of the writers are young and do make some mistakes but that is all part of learning.

Keeping Clemson at 5 is kinda a joke. They looked as bad as last year on offence. All the hype about DJ getting into shape. Its a typical Clemson game. Struggle all game then pull away in the 4th due to deeper athletes to make it look like a blowout when it wasn't

I really have no faith in Ohio State. Their biggest issue is that they play in a non-competitive conference. They have the roster every year to win it all but always come up short as they find themselves unprepared for elite level competition.

At quartback not having a clear starter is a big issue. It's not the same when speaking of cornerbacks. You need multiple starters to compete.

The greatest ever is a point of pure conjecture. What can be said and is verifiable fact is that no one has had the sustained level of success that Saban has. No one has changed the way that football programs operate more than Saban. Alabama has always been a good football school. The 1980's are the only decade that does not include at least one Alabama national title but Saban has take it to an entirely new level. Winning national titles 50% of the time while at Alabama in the toughest division of the toughest conference in college football.

They have the talent to compete with any team in the nation. Their biggest issue is in the lack of competition they see in the rest of the big ten. They always find themselves unable to compete with top teams that have played and won against better teams.

I believe in some of what Negan said. last year was not Bamas year. Nick Saban said as much when he called it a rebuilding year. Bur even in a rebuilding year we pushed the best Georgia team in years to their absolute limit. What that fool does not understand in that Bama was a young team last year but is not this year. This year Bama has experience all over the field. Georgia on the other hand does not. If negan can stop pulling wings of flies and trying to beat up his wife and kids and actually start trying to understand football it would make his life much more bearable.

He did have solid recruiting but each year after the national championship they got worse with better talent. he started recking up bad losses. how bad do you have to be to have 3 conference losses in the ACC. His last year he had 5 conference losses With exceptional talent.

one player, one group of players. It does not make a difference. Just like with Ed Orgeron and Gene Chizik. They could coach for the next 30 years and never have the same success as they did that one year that it all came together.

I agree, I am not a big fan of Jimbo. He won at Florida state because of one player. Every year after was a little was a little worse than the year before with his last year being 5-6. I don't see Kirby or Nick letting that happen.

The last for classes are ranked as follows. 1, 8, 6, 4 in the nation according to the 247 composite. The average of those is 4.75 but that is not the same as 4 top 5 classes in a row.

Jalen Hurts for Alabama? 4 Heisman trophy winners, dozens of 1st round picks and Jalen is the most valuable guy? Pot must be legal in whatever state the author is from.

These are 4 teams without a real starting QB. They might by the end of the year. Bennett is the only one with experience and they won the title in spite of him, not because of him.

Dabo is a nice guy and a decent coach. He did however make a major tactical error with the transfer portal. Clemson has lost 30+- players to the portal and replaced them with O. He is trying to prove a point to recruits but it will not lead to better classes. They are in trouble for the foreseeable future with the only bright spot being an easy schedule that will allow them to appear good.
