U of W first in. Who all you guys rooting for today? Bama fans here? Michigan looks legit. I haven’t watched any Georgia games this year but hoping for good...

Ohio state ran it down Penn St's throat last 4 min of game.

ode Why is that a penalty? Don't think he even touched him.

you are not allowed to step over and straddle a player and taunt him...easy call

jsippy73 apparently there is an emphasis on "walking over" the tackled defender while talking trash. It's odd as these guys talk trash in their sleep and the focus on that seems petty. It would have been 4th and a punt but the penalty is an auto first down. I guess you have to step to the side and talk sh1t😆

jsippy73

Disappointed. Especially at the end and at some of the calls.
Oh well.

The Ducks are so good.

propman

azgreg agree. Not a fan of them but eye test says they deserve their ranking. Still ways to go.

Walterjn Watching Oregon vs Michigan

Michigan made it more of a game than I thought they would.

I’m watching the Toilet Bowl - UMass vs Ms. State. It looks like State finally found another team it can beat this year.

johnnydoom What does U Mass charge for these games? Another school moving up in class. Next, they are scheduled to lose to Liberty and Goergia

propman

Cmon gators!

ode talking trash integral part of basketball and football. Wish it wasn't.

Walterjn

Ack8236 they did.
Now it's Wisconsin vs Iowa. Iowa looks to be running away with it. So far 3- 14 Iowa.

MS State paid UMASS $175k. At least they got a win for the investment. They paid Toledo a whole bunch more and got paid back with an embarrassing whuppin.

Here's a large reason why SMU after moving to Power 5 ACC got so good so fast and knocked off Pitt 48 - 25 last night. Oil money thru NIL goes a long way. This now is the modern college football scene.

Well, while your point is accurate, and my Pitt boys got their asses kicked, this form of reimbursement is both the same as before yet quite different. Now there’s transparency. Before it was under the table. Regardless, the schools/teams with great wealth (and boosters) still hold the advantage.

Here's some facets of NIL that most aren't aware of. https://www.on3.com/nil/news/texas-gov-greg-abbott-signs-transformative-nil-bill-ncaa/

This one of SMU's largest collective NIL groups that fuel their football and basketball programs. Most large booster groups have these in place but know that their are ways of states using legislation like TX has to get around the NCAA. https://www.on3.com/nil/collectives/boulevard-collective-114/

It's kinda like large market baseball teams vs. small market teams in MLB.

This is one of the reasons Nick Saban left college football coaching as he couldn't corral all the major talent as in the past.

Miami looked poised for another last minute comeback win and then Georgia Tech strip sacked Cam Ward to preserve the win.
