No one ever said going to UW or UO or the Rose Bowl was easy for a BigTen Team. The issue is now UC UCLA UW and OU have to travel to Lincoln, Minneapolis, Chicago, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania in November!!
Ppl can’t talk shit ab Oklahoma without exclusively talking about Lincoln Riley’s trash ass defense which he took to USC. So ready for the season to start.
USC didn't play Oregon and Washington the first year with Riley. In reality, they were probably the 4th or 5th best team in the conference. Led people to overrate them going into last season.
The Pac12 must have finally tried to protect their best teams, but unfortunately it was too late due to their fate being sealed. No different then how the SEC would rarely allow Bama and UGA, or their 2 best teams, to play each other in the regular season, so they could meet up in the Conference Championship Game to get 2 of their teams in the the 4 Team Playoffs.
Colin: “I root for people who have been bullied or have suffered.” So that explains why you’ve been rooting for the B1G so hard. It’s truly sad to see Colin give into Fox and be so biased to their B1G narrative. Greg simply asks him how he thinks B1G stacks up vs The SEC (who everyone with common sense knows is The best conference), Colin ignores the question and just goes on a spiel on how he thinks Oregon can beat Ohio State. Just completely avoided the question.
@@michaelmcgregor007 Yes. Michigan and Ohio St. are the only thing the B1G has. And it’s been that way for decades. Bringing up Michigan stadium only reinforces that. The Midwest is just that, mid.
@@unchomer08 you couldn’t be anymore wrong! Iowa, Nebraska and Penn state are all fanatical about football (as much as any SEC fan base)! Just shows how ignorant you actually sre
This might be the dumbest prediction/opinions on the landscape of this sport that I’ve seen in a long time. This guy clearly only watched PAC 12 games and a handful of nationally televised SEC games. Who listens to this garbage outside of LA?
From the Texas perspective, I would actually argue that the "lesser to mid tier" SEC opponents will be easier to play and prepare for on a week in/week out basis then a lot of the matchups Texas faced in the Big 12 simply because of schematics. The Texas coaching staff is a lot more experienced dealing with more pro style and traditional concepts and match ups with straight physicality than they are facing some of the wild stuff you would see from teams in the b12. Last year Houston literally ran an entirely different defense, specifically for texas, that they had never once put on tape for example.. Historically, big 12 and sec matchups have an average score of 27.4 to 28.5.. Yes the SEC is a huge step up from a physical perspective, but I know Sark has built this roster up to handle that, and matchup better schematically with a majority of the teams(look at how we've played bama) I think the national media downplays how hard night games on the road in the big 12 actually are when you're getting the absolute kitchen sink thrown at you from some of the most creative & inventive coaches in the country. I'm not downplaying the SEC as a whole, I'm just saying that the Texas can't handle the SEC narrative from a skin deep level most fans have is just straight up wrong in my opinion. Time will tell though :)
Not only that, but he's making it out like the fans were the ones predicting it when it was him and only him. No to mention him shitting all over the Oklahoma alumni, administration, and coaching staff while he was kneeling in front of Riley. You can't make this stuff up. And btw, I am NOT an Oklahoma fan nor anything close to an Oklahoma fan. But come on Cowherd, have some respect.
Even in the NFL suspensions get handed out for stealing signs by recording so rules are rules. Look at Michigans record before and after Connor Stallions
If you pushed your chips all-in on Lincoln Riley to USC a couple years ago, you have no choice but to play the long game here. You're pot committed. I don't even doubt Colin's sources either. I bet they do believe now that Caleb is gone, Riley can really get his system going.
As an oklahoma sooner fan.. its crazy to here this talk about how good Texas is and can be.. when WE won the big 12 every year. We also beat the dog shit out of missouri and A&M every year. Gave them to the SEC. Missouri gave them hell and so did A&M. The SEC had not played against a QB that could actually throw. Im sorry Bama, Georgia, LSU, and occasionally Florida.. Kentucky. Missouri, Arkansas, South Carolina, Ole miss, Vanderbilt, and Auburn are not good!!!
Colin, you say you let the audience/interest drive the content. Can we stop talking about USC finally? I don't mind bringing them up, but we can't talk about college football without you hammering on how underrated USC is bad of a program Lincoln took over. The college football community does. not. care. about USC. Once they prove something we can talk about them. I wonder what the ratio of USC content vs. GA content (3:1?). Please, no one cares about USC in college football.
Great coaches don't hire their friends to be DC when they are clearly incompetent. Great coaches are able to recruit elite defensive talent. Comparing Lincoln Riley to Harbaugh is a complete joke.
As a sample size of Cristobal’s work…Miami is not over rated. His Oregon teams 99% of the time had better talent but they consistently struggled to put away even the so called cup cake games. Sure they won but he had his starters in the game into the fourth quarter. Poor time management…horrible halftime adjustments. Boring play where top notch qb1’s go to die.
The reason people talk about Connor Stallion is because UM kicked everyone’s ass. Nothing more. It’s a way of processing their success for people that are antagonistic towards them.
As I recall, and correct me if I'm wrong, I wasn't the person hyping Riley at USC dominating the conference within two years. It was guys like Cowherd. So now that Riley's hit a bit of a speed bump Cowherd tells me, "hey, slow down man. Give it some time." He acts like I'M the one who was promising USC dominance in two years. What? And he gets his minions to go along with this bullshit so they can be part of his huge network getting them the incredible amount of exposure that merely associating with him gets you. Not to mention how he shit all over the Oklahoma fanbase, alumni, administration, and coaching staff while he pulled this stunt. Jesus Christ. Jesus, that's Slippin' Jimmy territory right there. Note: I am not an Oklahoma fan by any stretch of the imagination. But Cowherd shows no dignity or respect, ever.
14 minutes into this and a few takeaways: USC- why are even talking about them? They have a terrible roster. Not expected to do anything. Riley dodged the SEC and left Oklahoma and now he’ll be what PSU has been in the big ten when they joined. Every 10 years or so they will be good, but they will be a second tier program. Michigan- in a rebuild, yes. But not a “total” rebuild. They have 4 1st team all Americans in the pre season voting. 3 on defense. 2 of those are PFF’s 1.1 and 1.2 draft prospects. PSU- not the 3rd best team, however they do have a favorable schedule and could sneak into the big ten championship. Iowa- they are not good. They have no offense. McNamara is awful now and no confidence. It’s over for them.
I don’t understand the sucking off on Lincoln Riley. Comparing him to Jim is dumb because Jim had a lot of success before the Michigan job in college and pros. It’s exactly why outside of people who love to overreact or say nonsense for clicks he did get benefit of the doubt. Riley is a great offensive mind that isn’t up to par with everything else. Was shown for years and Oklahoma and now USC. It honestly blows my mind considering there be conversations about other coaches like Day in Ohio State and Dabo Swinney being on hot seat or lacking and both have done more winning than him. The latter having a great six year run in the Nick Saban era including winning a national championship.
Urban Meyer Players, defense, offense and they win a natty with a 3rd string QB. Ryan Day in the same senerio can't even score a single touchdown against the powerhouse that is Missouri.
"Harbaugh was a bum 4 years ago" hmmm what happened in between then and now... How did a tcu team suddenly start winning a playoff game because they switched signals... I don't care but I also don't think of them as champions.
everybody mark this day as Colin is saying OSU is Soft/finesse and Oregon will pound them. let's see how last years top ten defense stacks up against the ducks
Well...... Josh Pate knows some football too........ and he is predicting OSU to beat Texas for the National Title........ so there's THAT ? -- -- -- The Buckeyes won the 1st 4 team CFP - National Title. It's only fitting that perhaps they win the 1 st 12 team CFP - National Title.
Thinking illegally knowing what play is coming when the other team doesn't have the same advantage isn't massive cheating is the height of ignorance. Just flat stupid. Of course everyone is trying to steal signs during the game, which isn't illegal. Having them already to start the game via a network of illegal in person recordings is flat out illegal. So it's up to the opponents to prepare a second language during the season? Just stupid by Colin.
I love how we're a year into this "sign stealing" stuff and the talking heads still have no idea what people are outraged about. It has absolutely nothing to do with sign stealing. They don't get it
@@clarencewalder2985Oregon is going to be good, but they don’t know how good, and physical the Big 10 really is, until they find out starting this year! I really think Ohio State goes undefeated, and beats the crap out of Michigan, on their way to winning a legitimate National Championship this year! 🌰🏈
The SEC has 3 teams in the top 6 and are consistently winning title. The Big 10 can’t and won’t compete either the SEC. They had a good year last year, but 2-0 ain’t 20-0.

ONE year.. WOW!! like how Big 10 fans conveniently only remember last year.. What happened in the last 5 years? How many wins? ZERO! What did OSU do vs UGA in 2022-23… ? LOST! How about Michigan in 2021-22? OVER AT HALFTIME..
@@TempeSoldier123 SEC only wins bcuz of the collusion of their parent company ESPN who has billions invested in their success since 06. Follow the money
If Colin didn’t make so many excuses for the people he personally props up, he would be almost universally loved. HE’S the one who said USC was going to win everything going forward.
@@TempeSoldier123You have proven you don't. LSU had zero defense last year and UM put up 10.4 PPG😂. Michigan lost ONE starter on defense and Edwards, Loveland, and tons of experience coming back all over both sides of the ball.
@@tomrockhill8634 You clearly don’t know football. How about the QB? He’s thrown one pass in 2 years. How many games has your HC coached overall? One or two.. and that was with Harbaugh’s staff who is gone. How about With this roster? ZERO. LSU has. a better QB by miles. and a better HC by a million miles.
@@tomrockhill8634 well try this again. LSU RELOADED (which means they have better player SINCE LAST YEAR) and Michigan lost Harbaugh, who was the head coach from LAST YEAR, which means he’s no longer there. So THIS SEASON, no talking about LAST SEASON, LSU brought in better players and Michigan lost their head coach.
They are being underestimated and that's when some teams overachieve. Although they do have to adjust to B1G style ball and new matchups that they usually don't experience.
Tikki tack huh ? So where do we draw the line ? So now because of NIL everything is fair game ? Oh until some team cheats against USC then Colin would scream to the high heavens
To whichever staffer(s) monitor Colin's social media, please explain to him that he regularly misuses the word dovetail in place of tailspin. A dovetail is an interlocking joint used for applications such as connecting the panels of furniture drawers. Tailspin is a falloff in performance, like a losing streak.
@@rllapte A dovetail is wider on one end than the other that’s what makes it dove tail the shape of a doves tail is trapezoid not a square.sounds like you don’t know what a dovetail is
@@vvsmixing I had forgotten the term trapezoid as a geometric descriptive but otherwise I know what a dovetail is. The fact is that Colin frequently uses that word when in the place of tailspin. Now, you're dismissed.
Plus OSU's offense was not flashy at all because they didn't have a NFL caliber QB to put up those types of numbers. They were a defensive lead team and their defense is supposed to be even better this season.
@@roris5882This Ohio State team is the most loaded team in America! I don’t think Oregon, or anyone else will be able to hang with Ohio State for 60 minutes! 🌰🏈
@@JeffreyLeohner If their offense can run the ball and throw it then they will probably be unstoppable because it's going to be very difficult for opponents to move the ball on their defense. They are loaded at just about every position group, even the backups and rotational players are talented. Hopefully they rotate their players to keep them healthy for the end of the season when it matters the most because it's going to be a long season.
@@fortshucker Pac12 could almost never win a natty cuz the Conference schedules for parity unlike the SEC who schedules to ensure their teams playoff & bowl contention. Pac12 always cannabilized each other. Washington was the 1st team to go undefeated in conference play since pac12 inception. Let that sink in
What McElroy just said about how he would steal signals in games while playing for Alabama, comparing it to the Michigan sign stealing scandal is not the same thing! Michigan was cheating with Stallions going to games prior to playing Ohio State, and other teams! It is not against NCAA rules to sign steal while coaching in the game you are playing in! 🌰🏈
Love the logic of we can't win a natty, so it's best to protect Caleb by not running an offensive scheme and just letting the offense adlib and make it up. Seems about right. Lincoln Logic.
