See his Mississippi State games . Yeah , he singlehandedly carried Mississippi State to being ranked # 1 in the 2014 season <| sep |> Where you at fam , they ' re 1 . 30 after tax around here <| sep |> Killer price man , if it was the Mai ' s I would cop <| sep |> We ' re just going to have to disagree on Miami . In order to continue to be a dominant program , Miami was going to need to keep making miracle hires . They couldn ' t . It ' s a tough place to recruit to when the stands are filled and the facilities suck . Miami will still bring in talent , but not enough to compete at the level they used to . Because of that they ' re not going to be able to get the best coaches , and if they ever do , they won ' t be able to keep them . Miami isn ' t as good as they were not because of conference affiliation , but because of a lack of institutional commitment to winning . And that ' s not going to change any time soon . I can ' t answer all the reasons why AM and Texas are never good at the same time . Some of it is circumstantial . They simply don ' t have great coaches at the same time . But a lot of it is that there seems to be a momentum regarding the best talent in the state , where it shifts from UT to AM and back again , and that ends up being reflected on the field . I ' m not sure why that isn ' t true for OU , which has always depended on the state for a large part of their talent pool , but it isn ' t . I also don ' t completely understand why it isn ' t as true for the Florida schools , or even AlabamaAuburn . And it ' s not just the lack of both schools being elite at the same time . There also are simply not that many upsets . There are a few , but for the most part , the team expected to win does . It ' s just a strange dynamic . I ' ve been pointing it out to people for 20 years . Maybe the move to the SEC changes it . We ' ll see . But it hasn ' t so far .
