    So you’re saying it’s quantity not quality?

  • Have no fear. Early indications are the SEC will reclaim both.

  • I wonder why? ?

    I don’t know what the trajectory is for SEC teams heading into next year.  Texas has a lot coming back Georgia and A&M seem like perennial challengers now.  

    Oregon and Ohio State should be prime contenders next year. Ohio State right now has the best odds of any team.

    Oregon and Indiana are both in the top 5 odds wise…And USC has figured out how to recruit again as indicated by their #1 recruiting class.

    Michigan is stealing signs and QBs from the SEC. 
     

    Last season it was talk about the middle and bottom of the conferences - fans don’t care how Washington stacks up with Auburn

    I read a little while ago, he’s working out for the Ratbirds.

    He has too big of an ego to stand on the sidelines waiting for L Jackson to get hurt.

    I have a feeling he’s going to be wearing one of these for a career.

    Nice deflection try from your original statement. You get an A for Attempt. LOL!?

  • I have 10 games worth of all-22  from McNeil-Warren.  Going to start diving into that tonight.   If anyone wants to join us in the machine shop for a rough draft viewing, you're more than welcomed to.

  • Imagine wasting time hyping up a conference instead of your own team

  • One of my - if not my favorite - Browns writers on the Browns '26 Draft

  • If I ran college football conferences would be topped out at 10-12 teams max, and Texas A&M would be out of the SEC and in a new Southwest Conference with Texas, Texas Tech, Baylor, etc... Nebraska and Oklahoma would be in the Big 12, USC, Oregon, etc would be in the Pac 12... oh well.

    No deflection, I stated there were 4 Buckeyes taken in the first 11 picks in the draft (quality reference).

    Somehow you’re propping up the SEC with the amount of picks (quantity reference).

    That’s what the SEC homers do.

    I like Zac too. He writes for The Athletic, and their draft coverage was second to none the last couple years. I know it’s a paid subscription deal, but it’s probably worth burning a free week trial on draft week just to check out their coverage. It’s impressive.

    Towards the end of that clip one of the guys really tried to bust Zac’s chops over scapegoating  DePodesta, and he wasn’t having it. There was a pretty interesting article in The Athletic a few weeks ago about DePodesta now that he’s back to being the “baseball guy” with the Rockies. It shed some light on the mystique surrounding him with his role in the Browns organization.
