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

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

      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😆

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

            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

                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.

                  Bravopilot What does U Mass charge for these games?

                  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.

                    6 days later

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

                    Ole Miss starting QB (Dart) goes out after injuring ankle and throws a pick leading to a Dawgs TD. Red-shirt freshman (Simmons) goes in for Ole Miss and leads a Swiss cheese TD drive. Just carved up Georgia's D. Dart returns to the sideline and warms up.

                    Biggest drama of the day is will Lane Kiffin go back to Dart or stick with Simmons?

                    Update. Kiffin goes with Jaxson Dart. Simmons won't be on the bench very long if Dart stumbles.

                      White Out in Happy Valley has turned into a Wipeout. 28-0 at the half. View on Peacock.
