Playing in the Deep End

It must be the rapture. For once, Danny Kanell says something that I can’t argue with. It’s true, the conference was perceived better when teams could stack blue chips on their first and second strings, and the rest of college football has found creative way$ to lure the second stringers away. He’s not wrong.

I do wonder what he means by “top to bottom”, though. No conference out there has a top to bottom that is national championship contenders, unless Notre Dame is a conference in and of itself, which the Irish believe they are. The B1G has a huge drop off past their top four teams, the ACC can’t even have a team want to win their conference that can make the CFP, and the Big XII is simply laughable. In the SEC, you’ve got a load of teams that are competitive enough to make the CFP, and whether you want to argue the post-season success or not, their resume does stack up.

But, it’s the offseason, so let’s blow smoke up everyone’s asses to create content and drive views.

And sorry for posting anything Danny Kanell says here. Though, like I said, he finally has a relevant point. It happens.

  1. Danny Kanell: the stopped clock is right twice a day. In his case, once.

  2. West Florida’s village idiot is still an idiot.

    The SEC is the deepest conference. The OOC regular season record between Power 4 opponents should end all of that discussion.

    Have NIL and the transfer portal leveled the distribution of talent at the “top end,” meaning 5 star and very high 4 star prospects and players? No doubt.

  3. There’s two people in the CFB world that I absolutley refuse to watch any of their content. One is Heather Dinich, the other Danny Kanell.

  4. Big 12 resents your comments and in only head to head during bowl season Houston whipped “blue blood” (lol) LSU.

  5. Historically speaking, the SEC has been dominant – no question. Speaking of football only and post NIL, NOBODY is fearful of the bottom “10” of the SEC. That is fact! I actually see the Big10 on equal ground – top to bottom. The SEC bottom “10” were as poor as the bottom “10” of the Big 10 IMHO. And the “three in a row” titles for Big 10 speak loudly to the current state/strength of football conferences. Painful to say.

  6. The whole star rating thing has become useless information. Seems like a lot of hyped up 5 star players flame out. And a lot of 3 star players that are lesser known do great things in their career. Ladd McConkey comes to mind.

  7. I hate it when I have to agree with Danny Kanell. Yuck. Lemme go brush my teeth.
