Georgia goes down to ND.  What happened to the vaunted SEC. Georgia just got blown out by ND.

Turnovers and special teams were the difference. Love Freeman as a coach. Not only a great young coach but a really good guy. When he was at UC a couple of his boys played football with my nephew and he was always very nice.

That’s what happens when you have AI aka FPI pick the best instead of playing the game. SEC best wins are against each other.

NIL and transfer portal have

changed the game.

Saban saw this coming

and got out.

Dominant programs gonna

be much tougher to maintain.

Hope you are ready SEC fans.

To be fair, SEC teams not playing in the CFP probably had a portion of guys sitting out who will declare for the NFL draft, and another basket of players who entered the transfer portal.  It's like the wild-wild west out there!  

 

Non-revenue sports are going to start to go the way of the Dodo bird at many schools based on the realities of conference realignment.  Gotta keep those NIL budgets robust.  Hey!  Why not let private equity mange school endowments?

 

End-Stage, Hyper-Capitalism sucks for football.

NIL budget and ACADEMIC scholarship budget should be the same for college “students”. At very least NIL money or NFL should repay the athletic scholarships the “student” athlete receives. 5 times the amount if they do not graduate. All these monies go to academic scholarship fund.

Alternatively, NFL has actual minor league and run it as a business…not using academic institutions to do their dirty work.

Sports section of forums died with Rude. I def miss our back forth banter this time of the year with the college football playoff and nfl playoffs. Rude would be so shocked that Indiana made the final. None SEC smaller recruiting pool and less quality of recruiting classes. It should be impossible for Indiana to beat the big dogs especially several of them in same season. Then we get Miami. No sec final who would’ve thought that possible. Miss you brother
