GEORGIA BULL DOGS OR BULL $H#T?

Super conferences that serve no purpose

NCAA Football kicked off last night as Utah mauled the once mighty “Swamp Kings of Florida” and made them look more like reptilian pond scum. However, the fact that conferences are literally falling apart overnight has me asking one question: Why?

The SEC and Big 10 conferences have literally looted all the other conferences of their football powers so they can share in their lucrative T.V. contract deals and are in the process of creating two massive conferences that may one day just leave the NCAA. Texas and Oklahoma left to join the SEC; USC and UCLA announced they were joining the Big10; and suddenly other schools were left like a lost kid at a store looking for his mommy. Before long, Colorado and Utah, Arizona and Arizona State followed suit and moved to the Big 12 which will consist of 16 teams next year (guess those college math courses are failing). The Big 10 will have a total of 14 teams this year and a total of 18 by next year. These guys are better accountants than the guys from Enron! Meanwhile the powerhouse SEC conference will have a total of 16 teams by the start of next year and I once again must ask: Why?

Georgia is the reigning two-time National Champion and quite frankly, they clearly pass the eye test the last two years in terms of talent and coaching. They play in one of the largest conferences that is universally recognized as the toughest in the country. So, with this in mind and the option to choose from 14 members currently in its huge conference, Georgia will begin its quest for a three-peat by playing its first four games against:

University of Tennessee – Martin (Rowan is on injured list)

Ball State

South Carolina

U.A.B (which only restarted its football program in 2017

That is 1/3rd of its 12-game schedule against kind of light competition. Throw in games against Kentucky and Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech and they are halfway home for an undefeated season. The SEC prides itself as the toughest football conference in the country and Tenn-Rowan and Martin, UAB, Ball State and Georgia Tech is the toughest out of conference game you can find? I guess ‘Hellen Keller University for the Deaf’ had scheduling conflicts? This is the exact reason why I find these so called ‘Super Conferences’ to be a sham. They are closing in on almost 20 teams, yet they don’t play each other and when they do play outside the conference, they are richly rewarded for pounding some team that would be hard pressed to beat most topflight H.S. teams in Florida and Texas. If I was a pollster, I would be dropping Georgia for every game they play in the first few weeks for not having a tougher schedule. Georgia is not alone in this, Michigan’s first 4 games are laughable, which is I why Jimmy Harbaugh did a self-imposed suspension. The Sports Bozos could coach for UM; however, they would have to allow beer and chicken wings on the sideline for me.

As these conferences continue to explode, I think it’s time for fans and pollsters to demand accountability and ask why their entire schedule is not against each other and why their out of conference games are 4 easy wins? If you are the best, go prove it and stop with the Bull$h#t schedules that rob true fans from seeing greatness.
