The SEC and its media partner is the king of sucking its own dick and telling everyone how big it is....

Preseason polls are really the only thing still propping up the SEC hype machine. If people had to objectively rank teams later in the year for the first time instead of making biased guesses before any games are even played that hype machine would have much less steam. No matter how meh they look the year before certain SEC teams always get overrated preseason (Looking at LSU, Florida, South Carolina, Auburn especially) and of course that sets the tone with teams getting big credit for beating those teams even though they finish with 4+ losses

Lesmerises and Landis highlighted that outside of the OL, they are not a physically imposing team and called them ACC tough. That’s their identity in the ACC, let’s see how that works now (and as I noted above, they didn’t impose their will for 55 minutes against a paper tiger overly reliant on blitzing A&M team and had three nice runs on their final drive).

100 yards for Fletcher is okay in those first 55 minutes, but they resulted in three total points, even with gifted short fields, he wasn’t exactly grinding them when it counted for a vast majority of the game.

Pate was railing against this narrative recently, adamant that they “don’t look like an ACC team.”

Very curious who is right.

'The season ends Jan. 1': Dan Lanning reiterates CFP overhaul​

Oregon coach Dan Lanning reiterated his desire to see the college football season end Jan. 1 every year, not only to fix the sport's calendar but also to decrease the long layoff between games for playoff teams with a bye.

During the final news conference Wednesday before the College Football Playoff Quarterfinal at the Capital One Orange Bowl, Lanning was asked about what changes could be made to alleviate issues that have affected multiple CFP teams, including coordinators taking head coaching jobs and the transfer portal opening Jan. 2.

"Every playoff game should be played every single weekend until you finish the season," Lanning said. "Even if it means we start Week 0 or you eliminate a bye, the season ends Jan. 1, and then the portal opens, then coaches that have to move on to their next opportunities get to move to their next opportunities."

Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein (Kentucky) and defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi (California) are juggling their responsibilities for the Ducks and their new schools. So is Ohio State offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach Brian Hartline, the new coach at USF.

"Our national championship game this year is Jan. 19, and that's really hard to envision as a coach that's going out and trying to join a new program and start a staff," Lanning said. "It's hard for players to understand what continuity looks like and where they're going to be at and to manage that with visits, the portal, everything else that exists. The clear way to do that is to bump the season up and make sure these playoff games happen a lot faster."

Lanning has said multiple times that playing in the first round last week against James Madison helped his team stay in rhythm, though after the win he lamented that Oregon didn't meet "a standard of performance" during the Ducks' 51-34 victory.

Last season, Oregon was the No. 1 seed in the CFP and had a longer layoff, losing in the quarterfinals 41-21 to Ohio State. All four teams that had a first-round bye last season lost in the quarterfinals.
