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.

                jsippy73 Washington 5-4 is not much of last years team. Traveling east not a recipe for success. Minnesota found that out this morning traveling to Piscataway, NJ. As did Iowa traveling to the Rose Bowl last night. As did Georgia traveling to Oxford, MS this afternoon. Home field advantage is huge in college football.

                That said Alabama so far is impressive at Death Valley Baton Rouge, LA tonight.

                  Just got done watching Alabama beat LSU badly.
                  42-13.
                  Alabama has a heck of a qb.

                  With Georgia's loss to Ole Miss today, it will be interesting to see how the SEC shakes out and which SEC teams ultimately make the playoff.

                    MidwayJ I don't know which teams will make it from the SEC, but I don't have tremendous confidence in any that do finishing as champion right now. Texas stands out at the moment, but they're likely to get a very physical game from A&M in the last game. Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama all have very inconsistent offenses, but Tennessee's defense looks like it might carry them into the playoffs. Maybe someone from that pack will go on a solid run, but it looks pretty shaky to me. Ole Miss has looked pretty convincing in the past two weeks, but that Kentucky loss still weighs on them.

                        Peacock sucks! I've multiple streaming services. Only Peacock can't deliver a clear broadcast. Constant jitter with their picture.

                            MidwayJ I'm trying to figure out the 5th conf that would get in but it seems that would be the highest ranked non power 5 conference winner🤔. So right now Boise St, but Army also in that running. I'm also wondering if Washington St. is still considered to be in a conference, although unlikely they get in as they lost to Boise St, but if someone beats Boise St. , they would also have a chance if they win out. With the ACC and B12 being weak/er/est of the power 5 4, their conf. champion may well bounce a better team that does not win their conf. championship. Miami is going to fall and if they don't play for their conf. championship they might be on the outside looking in. Same goes for Indiana, they have Ohio St ., if they lose they won't fall much in the rankings but are gonna have a hard time leap frogging a 2 loss SEC team🤔. It's those bubble teams 8-12 that may need things to go their way come conf. championship time.
