And please let's do keep in mind that the only reason the Sugar
win was brought up was in regards to Steve Slaton's rushing
stats, and not for any BE-SEC comparison.

the only comparison the BE is(or ever will be in the near future
to) is to the acc, for reasons of the split and such......sec
and bigten fans hardly even are aware of it's existence.

That's only because they are askairt to play them in the regular
season.

in the future(because of the required 12 game schedules) we'll see
more "name" teams from these conferences playing bigeast teams
because you now need a minimum of 4 ooc games. Now I don't think
that's ever going to result in teams like Florida or tOSU giving
the rutgers of the worlds one and one, but Louisville and
WVU(because of the extra games needed) are going to get some, and
we've seen this in future scheduling.

And sec and bigten teams with > 90k stadiums are no more askairt to
play bigleast teams than they are appy state.........what they are
scared of is all the loss of revenue that would result from a
connecticut type team who refuses to do a one and done.

Up until 1995 Notre Dame Stadium seated only 59,075, yet they seemed
to have no problem getting the likes of Michigan, Ohio State, USC,
etc. to come in and play on a regular basis. Notre Dame Stadium now
seats a whopping 80,795 -- still around 20K than the "big stadium
schools". Teams not giving 1-for-1s to schools because of "stadium
size" is an excuse, not a reason.

it's notre dame shrumpf....they are the most famous college football
program of all time and have their own tv network....sheeesh what an
example to use.

They didn't have their own network before the 1980s. And if your whole
argument is about the Benjamins, teams coming to ND before then didn't
make any more money than playing pretty much anywhere else.





As to the larger question though, I like slaton as a contender.
And white. There are a lot of guys who could be in the mix this
year.....


There will be, no doubt. My original question was do two candidates
from the same team "pull votes" from each other or not?

they can. It's more region dependent really than team dependent. If
the top 4 candidates, for example, were all from the west coast and
two happen to play for USC, one for UCLA, and one for Cal......I don't
really think it would matter/hurt the USC players.

The negative for two top contenders on the same team has more to do
with them playing in the same region than playing for the same
team....so it hurts them in that respect.
