Aiken, South Carolina? Fits the bill regarding everything you are looking for plus a low cost of living. Also great if you like golf and/or horses. And, no water or forest fire problems. 20 minutes to Augusta, 2nd largest city in Georgia and 90 minutes to Charleston, Savannah + the coast. Civility abounds. Lots of diversity and everyone gets along. Branch of U of South Carolina so learning opportunities and lots of good cultural events abound. Known as "Mayberry meets The Hamptons.' Many the good restaurant. The bad. Games start far too late on the Right Coast. [Send my check c/o Aiken City Council.]

It's the 9 conference games, with or without divisions, that makes a re-match odds-on. Rarely see this in the SEC with 14 teams and only 2 cross over games. The 2 top teams playing are to prevent a lower ranked division winner winning the champ game and not having the best representative in the playoff mix. If the field expands to 12 with all P5 champs in, as I think will happen, it might not help for seeding purposes but I'd love to see no divisions, 2 OOC games and 10 conference games. Winner of the regular season is the champ. Extra bye week instead of playing a champ game. But can the conference afford to give up champ game $?

Tough to do in a 12 team conference with 2 divisions and 9 conference games. I expect 2023 will be the year divisions go away in the Pac-12 along with the 'CA scheduling agreement.' The two top teams will play in the conference champ game. Personally, so long as we have divisions, I'd like to see all of the cross division games played before the division games. Play Utah in October and not in late November.

Yeah, but you should see Mike's mansion in Starkville! Not 1 but 2 outhouses!

OK but BYU returns 88% of its O including its starting QB. BYU's all time leading rusher, Algiers, went late in the draft because most of yards were the result of very good OL and TE blocking. Most of the starting OL is back. BYU plays at Oregon, Arkansas at home and Notre Dame in Las Vegas (plenty of Cougars fans will be on hand), so if it does drop a game or 2 it could finish in the top 10. And we know that BYU will be putting grown men on the football field. This is BYU's last season as an independent before joining the B12.

Crazy? With Utah playing there and after the 2021 mauling of SC I'm not sure I'd count out UCLA?

Great stats but does the 200 translate to 'football speed?"

And I forgot to buy a gift!

If Addison goes to Bama think Pat Narduzzi will call Saint Nick and complain or that Saban will be painted as a bad guy?

Pitt star WR transfer working out with notable QB LARRYBROWNSPORTS.COM Pitt transfer wide receiver Jordan Addison is reportedly working out with a notable quarterback after entering the portal. He's working out with a QB from Southern Cal who happens to be the defending Heisman winner and starter at Alabama.

Too many!

Where are the Ducks ranked and do you have the entire top 25? Thanks. I only see verbiage on Oregon, than the Utes and Bruins rankings. I'm guessing Oregon is 5 or higher? If so, USA is making a big bet on Lanning and Nix.

Did friend Mike West help set this line? I've seen the Utes ramked as high as 4 in the preseason. The Ducks for a number of reasons no-showed vs the Utes last Season. Ohio State down its top 2 WRs dropped an aerial circus on Utah in the Rose Bowl. I think Utah will be a very good team but I don't see it winning the 2022 Pac-12 that should have better QB play from many a team. I think Utah will really miss LBs Lloyd and Sewell.

Oregon opens as betting favorite to win 2022 Pac-12 title SATURDAYOUTWEST.COM The defending Pac-12 champs are not the early favorites to win the 2022 Pac-12 title. Felling the love for the guys in green and not the guys in SLC. I like the odds.

Good to hear. Thanks.

And the FPI has UT ranked No. 6 in the nation? Another school that did not = the hype in the draft was Texas A+M.

Gattis thing at Michigan was running the ball behind one of the best OLs in America. He is not an innovator. Should be a perfect fit with Mario. The Broyles award should have been won by Lanning and if not Lanning by the Michigan DC, who has returned to the Ravens and not Gattis.

'IF' being the operative word. Plaintiffs doctors are paid to render an opinion on behalf of the plaintiff.

I agree with WA ST being the favorite in the north behind the Ducks.

H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y? I'm sure that no representative of from Pitt enticed Slovis to come to Pitt prior to Slovis entering the portal?

A 'Nix-like' guy; Jones had moments of greatness and moments of baffling inconsistency.

I am far from a fan of the NCAA but I was extremely happy to see the NCAA prevail in this instance.

I really enjoyed his thoughts on the Nix 'issues' and the in-depth discussion of the SC OL. SC does have some legit OL guys returning and the transfer from UVA should help out a lot. And the OL will be playing in front of a far more mobile QB than Slovis or Dart. Also, for those who read the article, pay attention to discussion of Cam Ward at Washington State. This young man lit up FCS ball and he looked darn good in the Wazzu spring game. Washington State is my pick for the surprise team in the Pac-12 in 2022. I think the Wazzu at Wisconsin game could turn out to be a far better game than most Badgers fans are expecting.
