I think their loses are arguably better than ours (although I also think Memphis and Dayton are better than expected).

Oregon beat Bama.

Oregon beat Bama.

Oregon will be entering the top 25 this week. Undefeated with a few good wins, this one being the cherry.

So much for it being a football conference. I went to the college WS this year in Omaha, which was evenly split between SEC schools and ACC. SEC fans are different. They have mastered the art of a tailgate, come in bunches and are colorful and loud. ACC fans are wine and cheese comparatively. Peyton Manning and Morgan Wallen were both there and buzzing around in golf carts afterwards, routing for Tenn (who won the whole thing). The culture/pride in sports in those states is supercharged. It’s lots of fun, and easy to admire. With the $$ that conference has and the overall passion in that region no reason to think they don’t maintain hold. When you see it with your own eyes, even in baseball, you get it quickly. I haven’t been to an SEC football game but based on what I saw in Omaha, I’d imagine it’s 50x the energy.

It will be the end of college sports if you are right.

ACC had a rough day.
