Your glass half-empty/half-full post of the day

This is sort of a follow-up to a post of mine from yesterday:

Five states w/ most NFL 1st, 2nd & 3rd round picks since 2000: Florida 123, California 117, Texas 102, Georgia 60 Alabama 40

Now contrast that with something Matt Hayes writes:

Mark Richt, Georgia: A measly tipped ball. That’s how close Georgia was to beating Alabama in last year’s SEC Championship Game and playing Notre Dame for the national title (I think we all know what would’ve happened there). For the third time in his coaching career (2002, 2007, 2012), Richt had a team that was playing as well or better than anyone in the nation, and had no national title to show for it.

Come and get it.

• Bill Snyder says college football “was in a bad place”, then goes on to claim that the sport can self-correct.  That makes him half-right.
• “Recruiting is still all about relationships.”  Some relationships make me want to fwow up, I guess.
• The 2012 Charting Project takes a look at fourth down plays.
• Vandalism at Williams-Brice!
• Today’s wait, what? moment comes from Auburn WR Sammie Coates, who claims “… we’ve got the best wide receivers group, I think, around.”
• Sammie, here’s what a good receiving corps looks like.
• Mike Leach says the conferences are all the same, except for one thing about the SEC.
• Mark Sanford uses football as an excuse to trespass on his ex-wife’s property.
• For an undefeated team, Ohio State was kind of meh in conference play last season.  (Of course, you could say the entire conference was kind of meh in conference play last season.)
