I'd die for those numbers at UConn... heck, 90% of FBS would... but a bit of a deeper dive shows that they have regressed a bit (admittedly I'm nit-picking here but the Big 12 isn't the same as it was 5-6 years ago when Baylor/TCU were national powers... it's been pretty setup for them to make the playoffs every year and they have missed it the last two.)WTH. Riley finished his tenure at Oklahoma with a 55–10 record and the highest winning percentage in the history of coaches at the OU program. He made 3 trips to playoffs. Quite the decline.
2017: Playoff 1 regular season loss, not his players, better Big 12 than current big 12 (better baylor, won in freakin' columbus)
2018: Playoff... 1 regular season loss...another great season..
2019: Playoff... loss to Kansas State though... still, i'll take it... mostly his players at this point too...
2020: Weird year, two losses, can kinda write this one off though.. lost to Kansas state again... keep in mind baylor isn't as good anymore, nor is TCU
2021: two losses, lost rivalry game, didn't make Big 12 championship
I just don't think it's good to leave a place where the entire community is live-or-die football like Normal, or Lincoln or Ann Arbor... for a place where, yeah, there's a ton of talent, but USC's stadium is half-full most of the time now.
