I don't mind if we criticize and keep it in-house. But when these clowns do it I can't help but think they have an agenda against everything outside of their beloved SEC. The ultimate conflict of interest. F those f'ers.

These are the same C**ts that are justifying how LSU and Georgia can get into the playoffs with three loses. 80% of this board is just like ESPN. The world is caving in at 9 - 1. Mario was 5 - 7, 7-6, and is now 9 - 1. Even when we were undefeated "We are not winning right". Shut the &^%$ up. Yes, I am including the mopes on this board. Celebrate us getting better. Mario is in year three of taking over a DUMP of a program. YEAR THREE! We are 9 - 1. I don't listen to the broadcast. I mute it. Anything I can do to not watch Joey whatever his name is, former wide receiver at Ohio State and the other tools. Some of you guys are pathetic.

2024 College Football Team Talent Composite

In order to create the most comprehensive Team Recruiting Ranking without any notion of bias, 247Sports Team Recruiting Ranking is solely based on the 247Sports Composite Rating.
247sports.com 247sports.com

The criticism was that Cristobal teams "always look unprepared" and "poorly coached." Kiffin has shown many times he can coach circles around most coaches. UGA has far more talent (composite total: 1001, #2 overall) than Ole Miss (801, #20) , but Kiffin just took them behind the woodshed.

The GT game had an extra spotlight on it because of how last year's game ended with one of the worst coaching blunders of all time. One would think Cristobal would have the team ready to erase that memory. And there were also other losses last year where UM had a sizeable talent edge. But compare that to Ole Miss in 2023. 11-2, only losses to #2 UGA and at #13 Bama. Then Ole Miss beat #10 PSU in the Peach Bowl. Not one "slip-up" last year against an inferior team. Even going back to Cristobals best season ever as a HC, 2019. Oregon blew their chance at the playoffs with a loss at Arizona State. Talent level between those teams wasn't close.

You mention Ole Miss's loss to UK. Look at the composite talent level between Ole Miss and UK. Ole Miss and UK have about the same amount of talent- Ole Miss got beat by an equally talented, but underperforming UK squad. Now look at the difference between UM and GT. MIami talent composite is 868 (#14). GT's is 702 (#46). Miami has FAR more talent than GT. Once again, UM lost to a much less talented team. Given the stakes, I have zero problem with McFarland's take, and there isn't a need to mention Kiffin/Ole Miss because Kiffin has established that he frequently has his teams prepared and well-coached. When he does get outcoached, it's surprising. On the flip side, if/when Cristobal ever outcoaches another HC, I think we can all agree it that is very likely that **** hath frozen over.

Kentucky and Ole Miss have similar talent?

TrumpyCane, hope you realize that they use their high school rankings in those college team composites

For example, Vandergriff is still listed as a five star, even though he wasn’t a five star transfer

Same as Silver

So no, Ole Miss and Kentucky did not have similar talent or do you want to still say that cam ward is a zero*QB since that is what the college team talent composite shows

Doesn’t matter. This Staph is wasting a generational quarterback by playing D’Onofrio Defense. The criticism is more than deserved, it’s actually late in coming.

TrumpyCane wants to know do you blame the defense or offense for last few weeks debacle?

What you said is an exclamation point on my post. Then the talent gap is even larger between GT and Miami than the composite indicates. Ward is a 5 star talent, doesn’t get factored into the composite.

Even 247 says it - UMs composite score is going to be lower than it should because Ward counts as 0 star in the composite due to his HS ranking .


UM also brought in a bunch of other highly rated transfer talent. That’s on top of the massive HS recruiting difference. Tell me- what game changers did GT land in the portal to make a plausible argument that GT is as talented as UM?

As for UGA- Vandegriff might be a much less talented player then the recruiting rankings indicate but UGA also landed a bunch of players in the portal. It’s doesnt change the fundamental point. You have to be on crack to claim Ole Miss has as much talent as UGA.

You are really stretching to white knight for Cristobal. I said it in my post- Kiffin has shown repeatedly his teams are prepared and he can consistently putcoach others. Espn is lighting up Cristobal because they say his teams are consistently underperforming relative to the talent level and consistently look poorly coached and unprepared.

Want to say UK is a vastly inferior team to Ole Miss? Sure. I’ll even agree thats true. Then you could say Kiffin didn’t have Ole Miss ready to play ONCE over the last two seasons. And in between then he’s got 5 wins over top 25 ranked teams, including a major bowl win over a top 10 team and knocking off #3 team in the country.

You completely missed the point of what was posted in Trumpycanes original post

Not sure why you’re comparing Cristobal and kiffin all of a sudden

Point was Miami lost a game to a 5-4 gt team and the whole media goes crazy

Ole Miss has a loss to a 3-6 Kentucky team who is terrible and no one cares

What ole miss did last year means nothing, just as what Miami did last year doesn’t matter

Did they go scorched earth on Cam Ward for not taking easy throws or missing the side of a barn during the entire first half?

Do you mean like how Arroyo was wide ******* open the entire time he was dancing around looking for the big play before getting strip sacked to end the game? Like that?

ESPN making the easy call. Tech is one dimensional and completely predictable. The fact we got smoked on defense should humiliate Guidry. He should circle it as the low point in his coaching career. ... Now I want to see ESPN with the same writeup for UGA, Bama, Penn State, Notre Dame, etc.

2 things tho....

Those are winning programs within ****'s length of a recent chip. (Minus LSU....let that hate flow)

We get walked down by the GTs of the world EVERY year. I mean, we lost to MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE....not even the whole **** state...just the middle of it!

Ignore ESPN's biases. ESPN's coverage of college football is not "journalism" . . . it is marketing. Standard journalism would require the talking heads on ESPN to state (or have a chryon disclaimer) that they have a multiple billion dollar television contract with the SEC and that the higher the SEC teams are ranked the more valuable that contract is. Clearly it would be distracting and not feasible to disclose this every time they should, but how about once a day at the beginning of ESPN College Gameday at 9am on a Saturday morning. Something like Cramer does at the beginning of Mad Money. The rules, for anyone interested are found in the The Radio Television Digital News Association Code of Ethics.

The ESPN analysts appear coached to puff the SEC conference and teams when comparing them to other conferences and teams. And it just becomes mythology and lore that the SEC is the "greatest conference". It certainly is true now, but it wasn't always that way. And not very long ago. Young pups don't realize that the SEC wasn't always this dominant and didn't become the dominant conference until ESPN started partnering up with them beginning in 1996.

Here are the CFP National champs from 1976 to date. I left Texas and Oklahoma out of the chart as they are recent arrivals to the SEC.
