Conference Championship Week
ACC: Pittsburgh at Maryland Pac-12: UCLA at California SEC: Texas A&M at South Carolina
We may advance to Bowl Games tonight. I'm nearly positive that the ACC and SEC Championship games will be played today, but I'm unsure about the Pac-12 Championship Game.

Ziff, you're in luck. I must have forgotten to exit out of the Recruiting menu after setting the visit for the CB prospect because not only did he not visit but my call did not go through as well. Thus, you jumped into second while I dropped to fourth. Hopefully, I can overcome this mishap in the offseason, but that may be difficult to do.

Tks Hez. I was shocked when I looked and saw that I had opened up a little lead on you. That explains it. Not sure Ohio St and ND are thinking, but I hope they don't offer him a scholarship. They must have bad scouts to let this kid twist in the wind. We would have no chance if they offered this kid.

Yea man unfortunately I'm away from the PS3 all weekend. You guys are never waiting on me so I guess I owe you one haha. Normally I bring it if I'm out of town but I couldn't swing it. At the earliest, we can play Sunday night late. If that doesn't work for you ill be available Monday early afternoon as well. I'll be down to play late Sunday EST if you are. I will keep the board updated on a time frame. Sorry about the delay fellas!

I killed some time at work and went thru the rosters. As ESPN says it's never too early to look to 2014. Feel free to rebut my findings.
SC-Pretty stacked as you would imagine but he will have to worry about too many Juniors leaving. With that stacked Senior class leaving it could leave an elite talent void while the young guys get up to speed. Look for some QB transfers as they are stacked and deep. The diverse skill set of those QB's makes us wonder if a scheme change may be in the works for the offense. More runners than passers.
Tenn- What a senior class!! Beef is stockpiling talent but we'll see what kind of coach he is this year. He's losing elite talent everywhere. Maybe a sligth drop off in production before the young guys start to tear it up again.
Cal- They have a Frosh QB sensation that should have them on top for a while. Concern as some key Seniors depart on offense. The defense is very young with some studs locked in. they should be better in 14 and elite in 15.
Maryland- Big Hole at QB. Offense is very young and could struggle in 14. The good news is the defense only loses 2 starters and should be tough. When rabbits pulls his patented upset look for the score to be 13-10.
NC State- NCS has a good Junior class and with the coaching staff gaining experience I think NCS will have a good year. 2 concerns. The defensive secondary will be gutted by graduation, could kill the defense in some shoot outs. Lack of recruiting leaves this team with no depth. If they don't do it next year it will be trouble. They need to have a good year and promise playing time up the ass to replenish the roster.
NC- Well the RB should be a monster. The problem is will the OL be able to let his talents shine? Jank has already lamented his lack of OL talent and it could stall some really good offensive talent. Will take some creativity from the coaches. The secondary much like their brother NCS is in shambles. Recruiting is going very well but it may take a few more years. Can the Chapel Hill fans remain patient?
Pitt- They have a stud back much like NC coming off a monster year, but Pitt's OL looks worse. Could kill their chances next year. Defense looks pretty good but they need some OLB recruits ASAP. Their youngest player is a Jr(R)
A&M- They lose 2 90+ OT which could slow things down on offense. Other than that should be a monster year for the Aggies. Talent is everywhere. They lose a few studs on d but the drop off is not huge and they have plenty of young talent ready to go. NC is a possibility.
UCLA- Another team ready to break out in 14. 2 huge issues. Center takes a mojor fall off. They may need a position switch in the offseason. CB also has a hole with 2 starters leaving and not a lot of elite talent waiting to go.
Utah- Coaches need to keep the momentum up, because a big drop of talent at the QB position could hurt the offense. The new QB will also miss the security of the All American TE. OL issues as well spell a down year in 14. The talent on D is ok but they need to replenish the safeties...they have 0 young talent at the safety position. Loss of 90+MLB in the middle will not help things either.
Washington- Offense could be scary good in 14. Need to keep all of the Juniors from leaving in the draft though. On defense they should be good but they lose all everything SS S. Parker. Big hole to fill there.
Mizz- Big gigantic holes to fill at QB,RB and CB. Other than that Mizzou is pretty solid coming back. Coaches will need to help out the offense and play better. DBG will need to carry this team form the WR position, but the offense will take a step back from mediocrity as the young talent emerges. Coaches are hopeful that some young defenders will see significant improvement in the off season and they should be ok.

Ziff. That is some very fine work there man! My offense will stay the same as its worked well so far, just with a few extra pieces It should run more efficiently. Losing Lattimore is going to hurt next year, but I have 2 backs coming in to help carry the load. Should be a committee next year

Very cool ziff. Thanks. Thought about doing this myself but never got around to it.
Regarding Maryland's big hole at quarterback. I have the #2 QB 81 OVR coming in next season. Will start right away. But he is a freshman. Defense should be strong. Need to upgrade my DL in the future. Average talent. Will be a problem in future seasons. Starters will only be very low 80s/high 70s if I don't land better prospects.

Great breakdown Ziff! You're right about this senior class--it was insane. They'll be hard to replace, but we'll have to see which young guys can contribute early. I've git a pretty good class coming in this year so that will be nice.
