Ok, I’ll give Lane credit and once again, I will happily take him as a head coach if that’s what happens. But can we also call a spade a spade. The West this year is a shell of what it has been since 2008. Lsu is garbage, Aub is garbage, and Ark and A&M are average at best. They still lost to an imperfect Alabama team and Bo Nix. It’s really no different than Mullen winning 10 in 2014, but failing to win his division.

@ThreatMatrix

Are you claiming that the above mentioned schools are not down this year, or are you denying that Mullen won 10 games in 2014?

Also, are we now going away from the well established (and correct) narrative that 10 wins today is the equivalent of 9 wins prior to 2006, skewing all these “first time” accomplishments, or is that just reserved for coaches we don’t like?

Ya know. This ain't the first time you've just made shyt up. The West ain't that weak. Kiffy has replaced LSU. And the West is still better than the East. Top 3 in the East 25-8. The West 28-6.
ltraz explained how Kiffy's 10 wins are different than Mullen's.
You don't need two PHDs to figure his stuff out.

Good point.

Coaches are getting absurd money now. Tucker 9 million to stay st sparty. Franklin 7 million at to stay Psu. Aranda is gonna get paid to stay. Even Freeze is getting 4 million to stay at Liberty.

So if you want a solid P5 coach you gotta pay up and LSU is willing to do that. Meanwhile UF who apparently has no money is relegated to finding the Foley up and coming coach for pennies on the dollar.

Not really. Great D and Avg O gets you titles, Great O and Avg D gets you to the Outback Bowl

This will be interesting to watch play out this season. Of the top 10 ppg teams, only UGA and Coastal Carolina run significantly more than pass. UGA is 60%, but that is probably in part due to killing clock in blowouts and the defense scoring or setting up short fields. (CC is 60% too - and who cares?) Most - including OSU and Bama are around 50/50, or say 52/48 one way or the other.

Only UGA(#1) and Cincy(#7) are top 10 in defense and offense.

Can UGA’s #1 defense shut down Bama and OSU’s offenses and clearly superior quarterbacks better that OSU’s #15 and Bama’s defenses can stop Stetson Bennett?

I think the better QBs have the edge. UGA hasn’t played any great QBs yet. But we’ll see.

We'll see if Kiffin's lucky win last night gets him as high as 35th in recruiting - I doubt it. He remains such an embarrassing and effing idiot on the sideline.

Since no one seems interested in hiring him (which should tell you a lot), and he'll have a new QB next year, expect a 6-6 season, at best. He's a clown, a mascot, a fool, a moron, a punch line. He's Marshall Henderson as a head coach.

Let's not forget the stupid decision to go for it on fourth down from your own 34 on the opening drive. A good team would have made him pay. In fact, Alabama did.

Game management.
