MAD MACGYVER

Unlike us who have no influence on anything, ESPN has a bit more money and influence than we do. Us saying it is just speculation, ESPN saying it is planning in action.

ESPN had an article from 2017 telling us what was going to happen https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/19743196/why-2023-next-big-date-conference-shuffling

If you have the Big12 reduced to 6 or 7 teams, then I could see them, perhaps, inviting any number of the pool of MWC +BYU, as the final couple after they first poach the AAC. I have a hard time seeing the Big 12 looking west for expansion. I think the PAC12 is pretty confident in its position out west. Frankly, most eyes are east of the I-35 corridor and it'll be a hard sell for late-night kick offs which are used as late night inventory fodder. If, and only if machinations and rumors indicated a western expansion then I could see the PAC12 perhaps make a move, but I doubt it. I think half the AAC should be sweating right now. I'd venture the MWC and PAC 12 are darn near irrelevant in this whole thing.

I wonder if this potential move isn't part of a bigger plot to move the BIG 10, SEC, ACC, and PAC 12 to 16-team super leagues for an eventual split from FBS.

I really don't get why OU and UT would do this. They will make plenty of money in the Big XII and joining the SEC will increase their losses and potentially reduce their seeding they'd get in the expanded CFP. I think it's an unwise move if it happens.

Those points were anything but garbage. It sealed the game, and made a USU win impossible.

Thank you A-MAT!!

Hope the USU player is OK. Never like to see players go down.

I don't see how Coach Riddle survives the off-season. Really poor showing this year by special teams.

Done, check your DMs

Gimme a few minutes, and I'll DM you.

Playing a complete game has been a real challenge for the Broncos this year.

I feel for Milton...this isn't how you want to go out, and it's never a happy circumstance when a young man gets injured like that. I wish him a complete recovery.

I'd pay good money to have Bob Uecker be a commentator for BSU football games. That guy's a riot.

I hope the review goes in our favor.

Very easy, I'd like a Kellen Moore era style mauling.

Until there is a 12 or 16-team CFP, there will always be a concerted effort by the P5 and its agent, the CFP Committee, to subjugate non-power schools & conferences.

Yep, it's a terrible trade off, and ESPN isn't paying them all that well to justify what it's doing to the fans. Conversely, though, one must wonder what the ticket sales were prior to this development that the schools actually thought this was a move in the RIGHT direction....

G5 playoff is a concession that there are, in fact, two levels in FBS. This idea should be avoided like the plague. Since there are 10 FBS conferences, and P5/G5 pairings that is geographically similar PAC12/MWC; Big 10/MAC, etc., there should be a promotion/relegation system.

CSU attempting to play football. You'll be P5 any day now.

Terrible spot chain measurement by the refs there. Fresno St got jobbed.

We have a lot of raw players that are talented. Our depth is showing, but the inexperience is what will expose us. We need some help on the defensive line. We get gashed too often, and I fear Tedford & McMaryion is going to pick us apart. Also I've notice that our LBs go through really bad phases where they make the wrong read and/or get caught up in the wash of the DL/OL when trying to plug gaps.

The way Fresno St & USU are playing combined with how many injuries BSU has on defense so far...I am not hopeful for the games vs FSU and USU. I am developing a dreadful sense that Harsin and company are doing less with more.
