“Auburn just claimed 4 new national championships over the summer: 1910: Maxwell Ratings (Loren Maxwell). Who is that? Auburn claims a natty 1914: James Howell's Power Ratings System. What? 1958: Montgomery Full Season Championship (David Montgomery). WTH? 2004: Several, including Darryl Perry and GBE College Football Ratings The AP or Coaches Poll didn't rank them #1 at the end of the season in those years. We wouldn't look silly at all.

They also like to set up easy passes with the run threat. Not sure how often this happens -- Utah got a first down on every pass co”
↳ Observations from Idaho-Utah
“i'm going to have to push back, here. the rb's just aren't getting anything done. russel has been weak his whole career. he's had some nice spots but thats it, spots. he just doesn't have it. the new guys; what are their names, again?? what i've seen this year out of the backfield is pathetic. the worst i've ever seen in a hog backfield.”

“Sure are. Look at the revenue line and ticket sales. We make a lot. Spend little. Hard to believe this isn't on purpose. Note: For those of you who want to leave the SEC, and many on here do, push that green revenue line far to the left. Then see how we compete.”
