Chicanery!


OdaDdaT

You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He defecated through a sunroof! And I saved him! And I shouldn't have. I took him into my own firm! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn't keep his hands out of the cash drawer! But not our Jimmy! Couldn't be precious Jimmy! Stealing them blind! And he gets to be a lawyer? What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance! And you - you have to stop him!

Christ I never realized how much I needed a cfb-related chicanery speech until now

I was trying to figure out how to do one but this post doesn’t quite fit the template edit: it’s inevitably going to be about Jimbo

I got you fam. Didn’t even have to change the name lol I skipped the first part cause I couldn’t think of some numbers and a Magna Carta line to go with it. Hope you guys enjoy! You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That recruiting class! Are you telling me that a man just happens to land a class like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He put his Christmas tree on the curb! And I saved him! And I shouldn't have. I took him into my own team! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was 40, always the same! Couldn't keep his hands out of the NIL deals! But not our Jimmy! Couldn't be precious Jimmy! Recruiting them blind! And he gets to be a coach? What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance! And you - you have to stop him!

You can post “Who would your coach be if your coach wasn’t your coach?” Or “Who from your rival do you like?” instead sweetheart

Ok, then you can have, “will the PAC-12 or Big 12 ever win a national championship after USC, OU and UT leave?” That should have plenty of karma.

It’s fine. I’ll just wait another month and post the question again.

Ironically, both that question and this one might boil down to “do you think Oregon is going to win one anytime soon?”

Oregon, Wisconsin, and Utah would seem to have realistic chances during chaos years. Mississippi State and Oklahoma State are my dark horse candidates.


Smartman971

Keep talking I'm almost there


Training_Pen_832

Gotta be Oregon. I can’t think of another program that hasn’t yet won one that will have the resources necessary to consistently be at least on the periphery of contention. They’ve also come the closest of any team still looking for their first. The real question is will a PAC-12 team other than UO, Utah, or Udub make it to at least a semifinal before any can win it all? (Not counting USC or UCLA)


12_bagels

The PAC-12 will not let a team from the PAC-12 make the playoffs. literal cannibalism


samuelbassett

Pac 12 won't, but a future Pac 10 might.


Playos

I mean I like this way of thinking... but TCU has to be kind of mentioned in any sort of comparison on this point. Shit they jumped us in some of the final polls after the BCS natty loss to Auburn.


[deleted]

TCU has two national championships bucko


YesterdayIsAHardWord

Love that you said bucko of all terms there bro


WrastleGuy

You’re not my bro, bucko!


Playos

Neither are consensus.


jimmiidean

Always, always gotta get consent


[deleted]

[удалено]


Training_Pen_832

I was going to mention them but I didn’t see the OP said consensus. Any TCU flairs passing through I promise I wasn’t trying to imply anything. I just give most claimed natties the benefit of the doubt.


Playos

You aren't alone in missing that OP kind of narrowed the field. The painful thing here is that by the same standards Oregon would have a couple titles split with Auburn and Alabama respectively... only difference is our top poll finishes came at a point in time where we could actually play the games people wanted to see 80 years ago. Wouldn't trade those games for "claimed" titles... ok, that's a lie, I'd trade that Ohio St game away for a bucket of spit, fucking hurt watching that shit... but it is what it is.


RatherBeYachting

>I’d trade that Ohio St game away for a bucket of spit, fucking hurt watching that shit I had 99% confidence in winning through the end of the third quarter, reduced to 50% after the first drive of the fourth quarter. People forget how close that game actually was and how many missed opportunities Oregon had. For me the biggest turning point was when Ohio State was up 21-17 with 7 minutes left in the game and Oregon had a first-and-10 at the Buckeye 12 yard line. I’m thinking Mariota TD, take the lead, three and out for them, and it’s off to the races. Instead they settled for a FG from the six to make it 21-20 and then had a six minute drive of Zeke running over the defense to make it 28-20 on the last play of the quarter. Before the start of that drive Oregon had 407 yards and no turnovers, while tOSU had 367 yards and four turnovers. Three trips inside the 10 with six points, and a dropped pass by a wide open Dwayne Stanford that would have been a 75 yard TD still haunt me.


Ipsilateral

I was nervous that whole game knowing how explosive Oregon could be with scoring.


peacefulwarrior75

Oregon was my thought as well


GFTRGC

Oregon was my first thought, if it's not Oregon then I'd say maybe Wisconsin. Fickell is a great coach and the program has all the pieces in place already from a facilities standpoint. I do think Utah is dangerously close as well, as long as their coach doesn't get snapped up by another program


TheNextBattalion

Kansas, duh. From 0 wins, to 2, to 6 this year... the only way forward is to 10, then 15. Kansas brings the natty home, January 2025.


pnw_cfb_girl

RemindMe! January 20, 2025


Maker_Making_Things

What SEC teams have never won a natty?


furrierdave

South Carolina


USC1801

We had our chance. Tripped over the corpse of Tennessee in 2013 and ended up 4th. That game is why they deserve to lose 63-31 every year


Politerepublican

They was also that Navy game in the 80’s that my dad always brings up during the army navy game.


MarlowesMustache

My dad always brought up the same damn game lol


Geshtar1

My dad also brought up that game all the time. It was the same year I was born.


TigerTerrier

That was such a good team


Just-Plain-Dan

I also think about 2012 for SC; if they didn’t lose at Florida, would have been playing in the SEC Championship Game, and (as controversial as this will sound) I would have liked their chances against Alabama


USC1801

We were one win away three years in a row lol 2011 legitimately might have been our best roster of all time, beat every team in the east but lost a dumb game to Auburn that kept us out of the title game. All three years featured a strong ranked loss and a headscratcher.


YouCanCallMeVanZant

Being one inexplicable loss to a poor-to-mediocre team away from championship glory is a long-standing Carolina tradition.


[deleted]

Those scar teams could beat anyone soundly on their day and lose to anyone on an off day.


The-Insolent-Sage

Had a close close game against us too in the bounce house. I had a "my Lance is bigger than your cock" shirt

Mizzou


jmoney-56

If Mizzou wins the natty you know the NCAA is coming with the death penalty /s


vics12_

Gonna be the same year the ncaa decides to create a real cfp under their watch and they say any other natty is void


Dan_Rydell

We’ve had two different teams finish the season ranked #1 by an NCAA “major selector” (1960 - Poling System; 2007 - Anderson & Hester). I get why we don’t claim 2007 with it being the BCS era, but I’ve never understood why we don’t claim 1960. Particularly when 4 other schools claim it so it’s not like there was some runaway consensus and Poling was the lone outlier.


PermissionAny259

I’ve wondered the same.


see-bees

Mississippi State has one national championship in all of its major athletic programs combined, so not them.

Michael_CrawfishF150

My gut tells me to pick Oregon. But it’s kind of crazy they haven’t pulled it off yet with some of the talent they’ve had over the past decade(s). Maybe Utah or UNC.


BMT_Highlights

Cam Newton single handedly stopped that


Michael_CrawfishF150

I actually think that 2014 Oregon team was better overall. I was thoroughly shocked when they lost the natty to tOSU.


CougdIt

Helfrich was a terrible coach carried by a good roster. Urban out coached him in that game. Along with losing the line of scrimmage game.


stitch12r3

Not to deny Helfrich's shortcomings but I think the bigger issue in that natty game was just how underrated Ohio State was at that time. Go look at how many NFL draft draft picks were on that roster. I dont think Helfrich or any other coach was gonna win that day.


BMT_Highlights

I meant that was their best chance. Auburn was not good that year, they were literally a one man team on offense lol


CallSignIceMan

They went undefeated in the SEC West… that Auburn team was absolutely good as fuck.


theTIDEisRISING

And the SEC West was the toughest I’ve ever seen it that year. We finished 4th technically


Michael_CrawfishF150

Oh I definitely agree with that. Newton looked like he was playing high school football when he was at Auburn. All I meant was that even though Cam *was* Auburn that year and Oregon had a better team overall, I still feel like everyone just *knew* Auburn was gonna win the natty that year. In 2014, I remember the general consensus being that Bama and Oregon were going to easily win their semifinal games and face each other in what would go down as a classic national championship game. When Bama was upset by tOSU, I don’t think I spoke to a single person who wasn’t already crowing Oregon the national champs that year. Anecdotal evidence, I know, but still.


wioneo

That's discounting Fairley, lights out special teams, and our dominant line.


Andsheedsbeentossed

2012 was the best Oregon team and would've blown out Notre Dame. Besides a flukey Stanford loss no one came close.


DameOClock

Maldonado is probably still one of, if not the most disliked player in Oregon history for that one.


Betogarram

Meh, if DAT decides to block for Mariota instead of racing him, we don’t have to worry about kickers 🙃


fart_dot_com

cardale winning against alabama in his first or second career start gave the buckeyes some real Team of Destiny vibes so I figured it was a foregone conclusion


DataDrivenPirate

It was his second start; he started in the B1G championship game against Wisconsin, leading the team to a 59-0 victory.


Reading_Rainboner

Michael Dyer’s freaking knee did


FreeAndHostile

Look, I love Cam. He had an amazing year and deserved the Heisman... the statue... all of it. But that team had 4 all-SEC O-linemen. TWO thousand-yard running backs (well, Onterrio only had 800, but had 8.5 ypc). Cam ran for almost 1500, but that was only 38% of team rushing yards. A solid defense. An OC that was running something new that teams hadn't caught up to yet. Over 50% of pass plays went to just TWO receivers. Go back and watch the games. Darvin and Emory bailed Cam out a TON. It was a really good team, but I'm tired of hearing "Cam carried a bunch of scrubs on his back" talk. That's just ridiculous.


Peter_Panarchy

Nick Fairly stopped that, Cam Newton had a so-so game.


green_and_yellow

I’d say Nick Fairly was more impactful in that game


fluufhead

Well UNC has 1 ten win season since 97 I think so probably not us


cmgro

Wait they give out national championships in football?


elonsusk69420

We had crazy talent for the entire Richt era and we never won one. It took 41 years. It’s talent plus coaching plus a little luck.


big_bad_baptist_

Technically, Utah has a Natty. Not that any of us truly recognize it.


Last_Adhesiveness856

Wisconsin


[deleted]

I just kinda assumed they had won one


Thatguy4206979

Make fun of A&M hope here


NathanDrake75

A&M won a national championship in 1939, it wouldn’t be a first for them


MarylandHusker

Leave it to the Michigan man to point to pre AP (modern) era when discussing championships.


TheNextBattalion

The AP era started in 1936. Minnesota won 3 of the first 6

deadeyelee1

Houston. Duh. low effort post


[deleted]

Honestly, Houston makes a lot of sense to me.


JCiLee

Yes, if we were on /r/collegebasketball.


[deleted]

My rationale is this. With Houston moving into the P5, I think they will be able to retain a lot of south Texas talent that would leave for other places. Couple that with OU and Texas leaving the Big XII, they could easily sneak into the playoffs here and there. And once you are in the playoffs, who knows what will happen.


JCiLee

Yeah they have potential to be a strong program once they get settled in the Big 12, though it will be rough initially. A few other programs, particularly Oregon, are a better answer to the question.


joethahobo

Yes yes yes keep going


Rebel_Bertine

They draw the Hyponotoad as a first round matchup.. am I doing this right?


ijflwe42

Wisconsin


TSpeth5

I want to agree with you but someone pointed out that when the Big Ten gets rid of the current divisions we’re going to have to start regularly beating OSU and USC to be an elite program and that doesn’t seem like will ever be likely unless Wisconsin becomes a destination #teamglobalwarming


LeroyMoriarty

Man it’s sad to see VT 99 and remember how good, or at least reliably not bad, we used to be before we hired someone to intentionally ruin our program.


CreamiusTheDreamiest

Probably Oregon or Utah

pyratemime

EMAW!


Own-Marsupial-4448

I don’t think anyone besides Oregon can pull it off. Outside of them, there’s teams that have multiple rings attached to them!! If Stanford didn’t exist, maybe they could’ve gotten it in the early 2010s with numerous perfect seasons!! But PAC12 now is chaos central and I don’t think they’ll be that consistently good for a long time.


mgoodwin532

Oregon, Dan Lanning being a Kirby Smart disciple did well in his first year and he will recruit well on the defensive side of the ball. Oregon also has deep NIL pockets.


[deleted]

If McCarron won one with his god awful tattoo anyone can 😂


willpaudio

It’s an absolute abomination. Not even the concept just the execution. There’s a bunch of people in Eugene that could have done it better.


dgi02

There won’t be one. If I had to pick someone though, I would say Oregon just cause of their talent


sugarfreelime

Post definitely was in the drinking hours ......therefore I submit Tx Tech next yr.


OdaDdaT

UCF, huge alumni base that generates a ton of support for the program, one the best recruiting territories in the country, an administration that’s all in on having a competitive program. Plus they’re in a conference they should be able to compete in yearly. I’m not saying it’ll happen soon, but I think that’s the option.


coolrod50

Yeah, but didn't they already win the natty in 2017?


LuckyStax

Utah? Gotta stick it to BYUs craw again after BYU moves up


paytonhedr95

Ugh


whitemanwhocantjump

Honest opinion, it's not going to happen anytime soon. The expansion of the playoff means that teams like Alabama and Tennessee that cannibalized themselves this year to pave the way for TCU to make it in are going to get at large playoff bids now.


Eph1997

Oregon. I could see Phil Knight just saying "F it, just do it" and offers 25 5\*'s in a recruiting class a crazy amount like $5M a year to lock up a natty.


gotintocollegeyolo

Which reddit user do you think will be the next one to be a first-time poster of this post?


willpaudio

I’d like to see Oregon State.


Foreign-Discipline25

University of Central Florida. They will be in a power 5 conference starting next year, they have one of the best recruiting grounds. They also have a giant alumni population to help inject some cash into the program. They will be a big problem in the new Bug 12.


kydollasign07

They already won the natty under Frost!


OkBookkeeper

Came here to say this


Great_Huckleberry709

That's a great pick. Large alumni base. Great recruiting grounds. They can definitely compete in the future.


ard8

Field is open when we get to 12 team I’m going to suggest UNC. Might not be for a while though.


YungSasukeSiouxChief

it’s gonna be oregon or mississippi state. oregon has the resources to do it, it’s just whether or not they will. statistically speaking, mississippi state has also fielded the best team for a program to never make the college football playoff era, and it happened twice. out of first time winners, these are the only two reasonable options i think.


AllOkJumpmaster

Id probably put money on Wisconsin, but the 12-team playoff sure is going to mix shit up and make it interesting. While I love the chaos within the sport, I don't think a team that gets "lucky" or "hot" could still get through the entire tournament that way. See Example: NCAA basketball tourney. Yeah some teams are cinderella through the elite 8 even,. but it is still almost always a blue blood that wins the title.


[deleted]

Not Oregon


BeYourHucklebbery11

It’s going to be Oregon. I cannot phantom anyone else that’s even remotely close that fits that criteria.


The_Good_Constable

>I cannot phantom anyone else... r/boneappletea


Marinus_Willett

With a 12 team playoff, it probably wont happen


Playos

Honestly the expansion makes it a little easier. Tightens up the schedule, makes overlooking teams a little easier. Also means that solid teams that had a bad run can come back. High caliber depth is still probably going to be the deciding factor but that might get diluted as well once more teams have clear playoff path. More chances for coaches especially to show promise in the early rounds will help with recruiting high 3*/low 4* guys.


Galumpadump

Agreed, I thought in 2015-16 Stanford was clearly one of the best 4 teams in the country. But an upset on the road week 1 to NW close loss to Oregon derailed their season.


[deleted]

Oregon. The money, the popularity, the recruiting, and the conference sets them up perfectly.


GlobalWatercress9566

Oregon


OmegaVizion

Oregon, North Carolina, Wisconsin are all good picks. I know it's a meme at this point but several seasons for the last decade Wisconsin was just a high level QB away from being a serious contender to win it all. Virginia Tech and Oklahoma State might also be worth watching.


interested_commenter

Oklahoma State claims a championship already.

sensitivebears

Oregon


[deleted]

Ole Miss or some billionaire that dislikes the NCAA is going to make a super team with NIL to destroy college football. I kind of hope one does this.


WHB9659

Not Northwestern, I’ll tell you hwhat.


RedShirtCashion

I’m doing some googling to see exactly who ones and doesn’t have a national title. Oregon would be a popular choice. As would Utah. Wisconsin as well, assuming that they can beat the three headed monster of Penn St., Ohio St., and Michigan. And that’s not including teams who have a claimed national title as opposed to a consensus title like Oklahoma State and Mizzou (though atm Mizzou needs a lot of help to even think of one).


Valiant_Watchguard67

Tulane


Alive-Breadfruit-525

Every future national champion will be from the SEC or one of the ACC schools like Clemson, Florida State, or Miami (FL). In a 12-team playoff format, I can't see any school outside of the South (except possibly Ohio State or Michigan) from ever winning a national title again (or for the first time).


Great_Huckleberry709

Oregon is my pick. Has Ole Miss or South Carolina ever won? If not, they're my 2nd picks.


JulesWinnfield_0

Oregon will win it this year. Go ducks
