after last week's 1st half vs USCe, Kirby has this team's full attention

no CFB coach can focus a locker room quite like UGA's head ball coach

This is not the sneaky good UAB of years past. Dilfer is their coach now, and they are very, very bad

Georgia’s started every game slow and has an injury list a mile long. I guess the line & total mean the score’s projected 49-6. This isn’t a game they can lose but they can spend enough of it sputtering, trying to figure out which backups should now go where, and/or toning down the playbook so Auburn has a harder time scouting the new guys that 7 touchdowns seems slightly less likely than usual. Taking the +42.5 and 1H +27, and I do think UAB sucks.

GSU has played so well tonight. Of all things, they can't possibly lose on a 4th qtr muffed punt attempt?

Miami Florida -24½
Temple +24½
No, Temple is not good. But it's a contender on the road against a G5 team, those are always fun, and we should commend teams for doing that.

It seems that it's happening a lot this year. Wake Forest and Bama

Ohio State -3½
Notre Dame +3½
Both teams are 3-0 without any close games. We know that both of these teams can probably afford one loss and still make the playoffs, so the loser is still alive, but the winner will have the inside track.

We're actually 4-0, for some reason.

I'm big on ND money line. Better team, better QB, at home.

Oregon St. AD: Promotion/relegation model 'worthy of study'

Quote:

"As you think about the future of even media rights, I think a sort of relegation model, either in unequal distribution, a contraction of teams and/or peer relegation will take place. I think that's coming," Barnes said in a joint news conference with presidents and athletic directors from OSU and WSU on Thursday. "In terms of the model itself, I think there's some merit to look at some form of hybrid model that does support that. We see it working in a similar fashion in Europe, and certainly it's worthy of our study."

Would be interesting but never going to happen imo

In Europe the failed Super League was an attempt by the big clubs to get away from promotion/relegation

The Titanic sunk and teams like WSU and OSU got left without a life boat. Others such as Vanderbilt were already in one thus the only question left is if teams such as them will be safe in perpetuity.

And it’s not clear how sturdy those ACC and Big12 boats are. They could get poached and remaining members get left out.

the next iteration of big changes in major cfb won't give a fk about conferences. ~28 teams are going to break away and create their own super league. the Rutgers and Vandys of the world won't be grandfathered into anything. they'll be excised as they detract from and don't add to the bottom line

i posted this earlier which outlines the future of cfb (by 2030 or 2031 imo)

whatever took shape for all the other current D1 teams would be a pretty sweet competition to follow too and would hold a lot of interest

It makes even less sense when you remember that the teams are a front facing store front for the schools.

wild play to open boise/sdsu

sdsu guy gets tackled going into the endzone but fumbles. not clear if it's a touchdown or boise ball on the 1, boise ball on the 20, or first and goal from the 1

ends up being boise ball from the 20

Terrible. Plus the 15 yarder that they were somehow able to overcome on the 2 pointer. Then the 15 yarder that resulted in the kickoff being returned to the 48.
