You can literally say that about every conference in CFB. It's always been the haves and have nots and never changes. CFB has never believed in any type of long term parity

Yeah kind of hard to compare records when the schools don't play a fairly balanced schedule to begin with.

And i rather like the idea of recruiting NJ, MD, and the beltway... adding Nebraska did nothing but add another hungry mouth that has to import talent.

I say that's a great idea, OSU should schedule Heidelberg or Mt. St. Joe's in the near future to beef up the schedule

I agree with some of the insinuation of this; mainly that OSU's schedule was not especially tough this year, and the BigTen as a whole was a bit down this year. But "overall opponent record" is a hamfisted and generally unreliable measure of schedule difficulty, in my view, especially when looking at non-conference games. To take one minor example, compare Clemson's win over 9-3 Georgia Southern to Alabama's win over 2-10 Louisville and OSU's win over 2-10 Oregon State. I know nothing about Georgia Southern, and it's entirely possible that they're better than Louisville and Oregon State. But I highly doubt that they're 9-3 vs. 2-10 better than Louisville and Oregon State. Stated more generally, when you just look at opponents' records, there's a lot of missing context.

I think conf games are just as bad because of the 9th game... on average our opponents will have 4.5 more losses. Throw in OrSt and TCU playing in 9game conferences brings that to 5.5 on average.
That number could actually be anywhere from 0 to 11 more losses depending on how you analyze it.
If we played an SEC schedule, those numbers could just as well be 86-71.

Huh. I wonder if anyone will get up in arms about this. I'm guessing no.

Report: Alabama QB Jalen Hurts now in NCAA transfer portal
The player who would be the “biggest free agent in college football history” is one step closer to coming onto the market.
According to 247Sports.com‘s Barton Simmons, Jalen Hurts‘ name is now listed in the NCAA transfer portal system. The move allows other football programs to contact the quarterback without receiving permission from Alabama first.
While the move doesn’t necessarily mean Hurts will definitely transfer — he could always remove his name and return to the Crimson Tide — it has in the past usually ended with the player moving on to another school.
Hurts graduated from Alabama in December, meaning he could move on to another FBS program and be immediately eligible to play in 2019. The upcoming season will be the true junior’s final year of eligibility.
.
.
.
As for potential landing spots? There are a handful of places that make sense, but there’s been a significant amount of speculation over the past few weeks that rival Auburn, which is losing its starting quarterback to the NFL and has no clear-cut replacement in-house, is very much a viable option.

I was going to type "No fucking way does a guy transfer to an archrival". But then I thought, "bro, do you even Boren?"
