Stop fucking with my OP goddammit.
UCF, following a storied college football tradition established in 1869! Gosh I love tradition, don't you?

It's the '17 offseason though. UCF is the 2017 champion.
Florida's governor made it official and everything.
Thanks for your hard work this season Karl, especially through the transition.
The only DI champ the NCAA recognized was North Dakota State. Everyone else can claim whatever they want
That feels weird. Always figured the offseason was the year the offseason actually fell in. Like last year was the '17 offseason leading into the '17 season. It's just neater that way.
Why am I arguing over this? Lmao nvm me

Gonna be a long 8 months. Bold Prediction for next year: I am going to get everything wrong....like I always do. So nevermind.
My Way-Too-Early CFP prediction in 2018
1. Alabama
2. Auburn
3. Notre Dame
4. Georgia
Auburn loses the iron bowl finishing 11-1
Georgia loses the SEC-CG to Alabama but still get in based on being the SEC runner up
Notre Dame finishes 11-1 or maybe 12-0
I don't think anyone is catching UGA at this point. I still think OSU finishes 2nd with 3-5 Bama, PSU and Texas in some order.
Damn. Can't we just find a way to get a fourth SEC team in there so the rest of the country can literally go fuck itself?
Also, will we still have to deal with people complaining about "anti-SEC media bias" if this happens?
Don't mind me. I'm just venting. I'll be better....later.
Almost definitely UGA.
After signing arguably the best class of all time last year, and after watching them basically win us a title in their first season, I'm cool conceding the #1 ranking for a year.
Georgia for sure. Though, I think there's too much focus on rankings and not enough on the quality of the kids. Basically, you have a few tiers:
- Georgia, OSU, Bama and USC are all pulling really high-quality kids. Bama and especially USC are further down in the rankings not because of the quality of their class so much as the size.
- Texas, Miami, Penn St., OU, Clemson and Auburn are kind of in the next tier. Florida could probably be included, too. Tiny class for them, but good kids.
- Pretty much the rest of the top 25.
- Everyone else.
Damn. They gonna' have to start sticking them under that vent between the goalposts pretty soon. 1st-world problems...
Eason officially gone to UW. UGA treated him like shit, the fans treated him like shit, and Kirby lied to the poor kid. He never wanted him but was desperate to have another option other than than loser who couldn't hack it at a 3rd-rate ACC school.
I hope he throws for 4000 yards, 50 tds, and is the first pick in the draft and never lets us forget what we did to him.
Congrats Huskies. We ran off the wrong QB.

Texas is definitely in that top group. Quality wise we have the 4th best class, and overall we have the 3rd highest ranked class.

He just signed a seven year extension.
But Auburn fans are crazy enough...
Georgia has six 5 stars according to Rivals. Nobody is passing them in recruiting unless there's a mass exodus.
Depends on where you look.
Rivals has Texas tied for #11 when sorted by average player rating. Scout * 24/7 would have them 4th behind Georgia, OSU and USC (like I said). Can't tell with ESPN because they lock that shit behind insider access and they don't let you sort by anything but their arbitrary class rank.
While we're on the subject, you could just as easily take my first two tiers and just stick 'em together. The difference between the #3 class and the #8 class in reality, two years from now when most of those kids are on the field, is basically nothing. How well they've been coached up is a bigger deal than what some goofy ranking service came up with when trying to compare some high school kiddie from Maryland with one from North Dakota while assigning a made up number to 'em.
Actually you also had Alabama in the top tier, and Texas has a higher avg player ranking than Bama. And I use 24/7 because they are aggregate based.
That's fine by me. Swap out Texas for Bama if it makes you smile bigger. If I were going to change anything about my prior post, it would just be to collapse the first two groups into one anyway. People get too hung up on the order of the rankings inside of the top 10, IMO.
Hard to imagine a coach kicking THAT to the curb just because he can't run but that's exactly what Kirby did and it's going to cost UGA down the line. Fromm did a good job managing games and did a good job making some plays vs OU, but when he had to make throws against a good defense he fell to pieces.
UGA will regret this for a long time.
That looks so familiar. A 48 yard strike to the endzone, you say?
We finished ahead of the real national champs, which makes use national champs. Lets go for 2 in a row next season.
Eason was never beaten out by Fromm. There never was any competition. Kirby and the coaches picked a guy and that was it. There was a good bleacher report article right before the OU game about Eason accepting his role as the backup, and it made very clear that there never was any chance for Eason to get his job back no matter what.

I firmly believe if there is one dude who would do it and be that guy he would. Hell Urbs convinced Braxton Miller to become a WR. I wonder if Nick will ask Jalen or if he'll suggest it? I don't think anything is settled until A-Day though. Imagine Jacobs/Harris/Harris all being completely under used in the backfield next year....
