OFFICIAL 2022-2023 COLLEGE FOOTBALL THREAD

[witnesskb24]

I'm going to go full UGA homer here but it's kind of wild that Stetson Bennett isn't in the top 20. 4-0 in CFP games and the MVP of all 4 CFP games he was in. That being said, that's a tough list to crack with a lot of high school winners and really successful QBs. Not sure who I would take off

This plays perfectly to my question of how they measure this. Stats? Talent?

Like I said Joe Burrow had one of the greatest seasons we’ve ever seen but I don’t think he’s better than someone like Deshaun Watson was in college. People seem to forget his first year at LSU.

Same with Stetson, he’s got all the accolades you could ask for but is he a true better QB than some of those in the top ten?

I totally agree. The word "best" can mean whatever you wanted to. Is it the most accomplished players? Is it based on the eye test? I do defer to players who had more than one great season. Joe Burrow had arguably the greatest season in college football history but the season before that he was average.

Stetson Bennett dominated his CFP games but was never considered a dominant college football player.

Do Jason White and Eric Crouch qualify for that list????

Jason White better than Baker too

No Ken Dorsey?

Crouch was 45, Dorsey was 36 and White was 32.

AJ McCarron was the starter for 2 national championships. Does he belong in the top 25?

 

[witnesskb24]

AJ McCarron was the starter for 2 national championships.

Right and by some measurements (Baker and Stetsons mentioned above) he’d be top 10-15

But we all know he’s nowhere close

AJ is on the list at 67.

That’s my fault I only read the top 20. Is Caleb not on there since he’s still playing?

 

[atlsfinest]

 

[Bobby Layne]

So he’s not going to run anyone off when he gets the MSU job?

I think Pat might actually be my least favorite coach in the country, which is saying something, because there are a lot of a**hole coaches out there. He is like DLK with none of the accomplishments.

 

[Bobby Layne]

Going to play TE for them.

 

[atlsfinest]

Going to play TE for them.

Is this his 4th of school? Auburn, Kentucky, UCF and now Louisville.. This COVID year is wild. I remember Joey Gatewood going to camps with Justin Fields, they were both class of 2018.

I remember when he was getting Cam Newton comparisons coming out of high school

How does the Pac survive once SC and UCLA leave....

 

[elpablo21]

Folks gotta escape this conference while they can

Dabo is annoying and surely self righteous, but he almost never takes targeted shots at people and doesn’t ***** and moan like Pat does.

Dabo also defends his kids and coaches to a fault. Narduzzi is an ******* and throws everyone else under the bus.

The best part of this story is it’s come out that Larry Scott knew about the overpayments and tried to hush and cover it up.

Now y’all see what I was saying the whole time?!

 

[elpablo21]

What a ****show man

If you’re not sure who you would take off, then how is it wild at all? He’s not close

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Joey Gatewood should have switched to TE 4 years ago, but I get wanting to see your dream through

 

[aepps20]

Pat should stick to being a racist and a scumbag

It'll probably be rough for a bit, but it stems from Larry Scott, so... Once the conference is pared down then I guess built back up, it should be fine. Should being the caveat. Need sound leadership and some business savvy, which apparently is a big ask, but not a death knell yet.
