Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

@Kolumbo, mate, you're thinking with your heart, but Allstate and the Big 12 ain't thinking with their heads...they can and most certainly will exclude the northeast. They just don't need us as much as we need them, wish it wasn't true, but that's our reality.

You know they joined the Big 10 in 2014, right? How long is long term? Other than a brief burst in the early 2000s Rutgers has been pretty dreadful. Maryland, other than a few teams under Fridgen has not been a significant player since the 1980s. I believe they have 1 outright ACC championship. They too have been a mess since joining the Big 10. They don’t draw crowds. They are the 3rd option behind 2 NFL teams in their region.

Maryland ended the season ranked 5x in the 70s, 3x in the 80s, and 4x in the 2000s. They have 9 ACC championships. In my opinion, they just need the right coach to help motivate the alums to increase support. Rutgers has a poorly run administration and athletic department which hampers their athletic teams.
 
Rutgers has had a poorly run administration since 1980 at least.

As far as Maryland goes, the Terps have done nothing. They wine 1 ACC title since the 1980s. They had a few ranked teams 20 years ago.

The great fallacy of CR. Everyone wants to move up and get into a better conference. When there were 6 BCS conferences most teams had a legitimate chance of competing within the conference and perhaps winning a conference championship. Ruttie and Maryland could very well be better programs today than they were 10 years ago but they are in the Big Ten. They are not winning a conference championship anytime soon. Heck Ruttie tied USC last year for the #9 spot. Not bad at all. There will be anomalies, like Indiana finishing 2nd while Nebraska, Michigan State, Washington, Wisconsin finished in the bottom half. All this CR is better for the bank. Not better for the fans. As has been pointed out, some teams have to finish in the bottom half. Most are playing to make a bowl game rather than a conference championship or CFP.

After all that, the ACC or Big 12 is where UConn needs to land. 😉

Who can better position themselves in the G6? Ohio University is getting a lot of love. The defending MAC Champions, the Bobcats are 4-1 against the Big 12 in their last 5 games played after defeated WVU this past weekend.


The Ohio University Bobcat team with (Parker) Navarro at quarterback? They’re a good team. They might make the College Football Playoff,” McAfee said. “They had us completely in shambles out there. To be fair, West Virginia losing to Ohio — not fun. That was not cool. Ohio University, really good team.”

One of McAfee’s co-hosts described Ohio as “the ’Bama of the MAC,” to which McAfee replied: “Right now, definitely, and there’s a chance they make the College Football Playoff.”

I don't know if this is worth following but OU comes in at 8 while UConn is up to 12

They should start referring to themselves as THE Ohio University

The independent noose is tightening…



-> SEC teams are required to schedule at least one additional high quality non-conference from the Atlantic Coast, Big Ten or Big 12 conferences or Notre Dame each season. The SEC will continue to evaluate its policies to ensure the continued scheduling of high-quality non-conference opponents. <-

Probably, but it's still a claim no other school can make. That's pretty damn cool.

True and on the basketball boards it's neat to peacock around with that claim.

On the conference realignment boards under key tweets? Doesn't move the needle a bit for those UConn is trying to influence.

Well, if our hopes for conference realignment are hinged upon decision makers reading the key tweets thread, things are even worse for us than I thought.

Well...we gonna need to see about our schedule now, won't we? So far we have the following games planned against the all cretins conference:
2026: 3
2027: 4
2028: 4
2029: 2

They may magnanimously "grace" us with a game or two per season (to give their officials practice at making bogus calls), but we need to find other teams to play against ASAP...suddenly a scheduling arrangement with the newPAC might not be bad idea. Every day that all cretins conference just gives me more reason to detest them.

So the ACC will play two non P4 games.

One will most certainly be an FCS team and one other.

Bad day for the “schedule moar P4 programs crew”.

Before everyone thinks the sky is falling, I would assume they will start this is 2027. So, I looked at our ACC opponents, and, low an behold, it looks like they already planned for this. Bottom line is that most of the games appear safe for UConn.

Duke: Schedule meets the requirement for 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030 as they have 3 OOC games scheduled and have 1 P4 school already on the schedule.

Syracuse: Schedule meets the requirement for 2027 and 2028 as they only have 2 OOC games scheduled and 1 P4 already on the schedule.

BC: Schedule meets the requirement for 2029, 2030, 2031 as they have 2 or 3 OOC games during the years with a P4 already on the schedule each year.

Pitt: Schedule meets the requirement for 2027 and 2028 as they only have 2 OOC games scheduled and 1 P4 already on the schedule.

Wake: 2028 game and they have 4 OOC including 1 P4 so 1 will have to be dropped. Either ECU or UConn.

UNC: I would assume 2026 is safe, but 2027 could be an issue as they have 4 OOC games scheduled. UNC is playing 2 P4, UConn and North Alabama.
 
With revenue sharing based on rolling five year viewership, I assume ACC schools will talk to ESPN about matches that might garner the better time slots and network. ABC, ESPN being favored…than ESPN2 and down to ACCN and ESPN plus.

The sky isn’t falling. We just have to schedule more G6 games. That’s what this means.
