How does the men's basketball team play so well one game and the next they don't even look like a good high school team? How, just how?

clearly the conference is a step behind its peers

As much as I hate to admit it, it looks like the ones who claimed that the SEC was better than the other conferences were right. The top 4 SEC teams, Georgia, Tennessee, LSU, and Alabama could beat the top teams of any other conferences and they actually proved it on the field by dominating their opponents.

To be honest, Tennessee and Alabama looked to be more deserving of being in the playoffs than TCU.

Seemed like a complete turnabout for Mazzccua and the same could probably be said for Rouse.. Did Rhule need extra NIL money for Rouse( the bigger fish) and let Mazzccua go to use his NIL money.

Just a theory

Here's an update from Trev Alberts on Husker NIL:

Former Northern Colorado and Nebraska O-lineman, Kevin Williams Jr., has committed to Charlotte out of the transfer portal. Charlotte is coached by Biff Poggi, who was the longtime right-hand man of Jim Harbaugh at Michigan.

Big night for Husker women. Sets up a showdown with No. 3 Ohio State on Saturday. Hit the link for more.

Nebraska netted a huge transfer portal addition on Wednesday night by landing Stanford OL Walter Rouse. It's a massive pickup for Matt Rhule, Donovan Raiola and the Huskers.

Here are three quick thoughts from @Steve Marik on how Rouse impacts the Huskers:

Anyone get a surprise gas water bill, more than you even expected yet or MUD or similar? Ouch, with extreme cold December, worse than I even thought. Highest one in 20 plus years since I started

Baylor OL transfer Micah Mazzccua, one of the Huskers' top OL transfer targets, has committed to Florida over Nebraska and Auburn. Thought that the Huskers had a great shot with him but now more attention will turn toward Stanford OL transfer target Walter Rouse.

Spoke with Bellevue West 2024 QB Daniel Kaelin after his Junior Day visit to Nebraska. I like the way things are trending here for the Huskers. Some really good stuff rom Danny including what type of offense Marcus Satterfield is pitching to recruits.

“From what I'm hearing from them I'm definitely a priority for them,” Kaelin said. “Coach Rhule told me the first time I talked to him that he does not want me to leave the state and he wants me to be at Nebraska. I definitely feel like I'm a priority for them, that's for sure."

This is huge news for Cade. Not a guarantee he will start the season with the big club, but he will get to train and compete with big league players.

Don't want to get too excited, we all thought we had the Baylor Guard.

With that said...

Had a link to TOS with an OU insider predicting Rouse N. Should not have shared it. Apologies staff.

Credit @DiceManHusker for first mentioning the crystal ball.

Hoping to see a @Greg Smith futurecast before too long.

Big game tonight inside Pinnacle Bank Arena. The beer is flowing at an efficient pace...for now.

The Huskers (9-7 overall, 2-3 in the Big Ten) and Fighting Illini (10-5, 1-3) are set to tip at 8 p.m. It'll be shown on the Big Ten Network with Kevin Kugler and Shon Morris on the call.

Here's a bit of pregame reading:

Top 12
1) Georgia
2) TCU
3) Michigan
4) Ohio St
5) Bama
6) Tennessee
7) Penn St
8) Washington
9) Tulane
10) Utah
11) Florida St
12) USC

11 of the Top 12 played in the New Years6 Bowl games..

After last night's demolition (which was the worst bowl loss ever), 63% of College Football Playoff games have been decided by a margin of victory of 17 or more points. 26% have been decided by 28 or more points. It's kinda stunning. There has never been a Playoff that featured 3 good close games.

Obviously the genie will never go back into the bottle, but is the Playoff actually resulting in a better product than the old bowl system? Is it creating better football matchups, or more entertainment value? And will expanding the playoff help?

Anyone have info to confirm?
