People in this thread forget that Louisville and Notre Dame are ACC teams now. Notre Dame won the Pac-12 South last year you know.
It's still a shitty conference.
So is the Pac-12. Hope this helps.
That's why I said college football sucks. I don't think Mark Emmert being president and the product being shit is coincidental. Even your beloved SEC sucks compared to 5 years ago.
College football doesn't suck. Christ, you sound like Sven.
It's still entertaining as hell. Nothing has really changed. And now there is at least some semblance of a playoff

Emmert is a yes man. A politician's mindset if I ever saw it.
My plan for improving the product would be to kick out 40 or so teams, institute some form of promotion/relegation to prevent poor performing programs from being complacent, and ban OOC scheduling with lower divisions. I would also like to see a 16 team playoff, or eliminate the playoff completely and go back to just bowl games. The 4 team playoff is horse shit.

4 power conferences. Each with 16 teams. Only one non conference game allowed vs a non power conference team. 16 team playoff. Maybe one or two spots could go to the non power conference teams, so the Kellen Moore Boise State type teams get a shot. It would be nice to see Florida State have to play more than one tough game every season.
Yeah but will he take a leave of absence, then come back 30 hours later?
It was 81 hours, actually.
Also..obligatory
FIFY. You seem to think I'm down and out as a poaster because I haven't given a shit that I've come across as a raving quook for the last several weeks. At any point I could seize first place in the weekly standings if I really wanted to turn it around and make the effort. You're fucking with a sleeping wolf. Spar with someone in your own tier.

Bring back Chip and Harbaugh. Get a real coach at USC.
It's a good start.
The coaching drain is speaking volumes.
Every conference loses coaches.
But the Pac has made some of the best hires in the nation the last few years. Overall the level of coaching is much improved from 3-6 years ago.
2009/2014 comparison UW: Sark/Pete: huge improvement WSU: Wulff/Leach: huge improvement OSU: Riley/Riley: same UO: Chip/Helfrich: big decline Cal: Tedford/Dykes: small decline Stanford: Harbaugh/Shaw: big decline UCLA: Neuheisel/Mora: small improvement USC: Kiffin/Sark: wash Arizona: Stoops/RichRod: huge improvement ASU: Erickson/Graham: small improvement
So yes the two programs that have carried the flag recently lost their elite coaches and attempted to go back to the same mold but couldn't replicate whatever element made Harbaugh and Chip winners.
But five other schools made very good hires. And after a disastrous first season Dykes has Cal playing much better in year two.

The net total of an upgrade using your scoring is +1.5.
Considering the fucking dreck the conference added in Colorado and Utah, it's not better off overall than it was five years ago.

And the Pac12 isn't better than the ACC, Sven.

HTH
I still don't think the Egg Bowel winner will be in the playoff. Nor the loser.
