knapplc Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 The SEC took a LOOOOOONG turn at the top, and Alabama may again win the National Championship, but the Big Ten is, this year at least, the best conference top-to-bottom - at least, so saith Colley Rankings. http://www.colleyrankings.com/curconf.html Notice how we hear less and less how people want to go back to the Big XII? We may end up there again, if the Big XII lasts long enough to cycle back on top. 3 Quote Link to comment

TonyStalloni Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Army, Notre Dame, Oklahoma (twice), So Cal, Nebraska (twice), Miami and Alabama have all had their run at the top. Dynasties fade as assistants move on and head coaches go pro or retire. Rarely does the successor match the record of the old head coach. Quote Link to comment

It took awhile after Sammy Baugh and Davey O'Brien, but TCU is finally back to a good football program. (Also, it's dominant, not dominate.) 1 Quote Link to comment

The usage of my browser's spell checker and dictionary is less than stellar. The struggle is real. 1 Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I want to go back to the Big 12, and I don't even care if it ever cycles back to the top. Quote Link to comment

beorach Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 People like Gary Sharpe were saying the B1G was the best conference last season, too, and then bowl results made that seem laughable. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I'd much rather travel to Texas to watch a November game than I would up to the Northeast. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Going back the Big 12 now would be like dumping your new awesome girlfriend that is super hot, funny, smart and your friends all like, and going back to your annoying Ex GF that has put on weight, had a couple kids with some random dude and still doesn't respect you and only wants you for added stability to her sh**ty existence. 2 Quote Link to comment
