CFB 2025

I was in favor of no payment for college players. Its college. You work your jazz off for nothing. Only in hopes that it will give you a better life. They should get the free scholarship which is already a huge privilege saving a hundred grand atleast. Like Spikes said its going to be awkward when they turn pro and dont get paid as much. That might affect their psyche in some way. Idk, we will see i guess.

A free degree from often times a well renowned institution, free healthcare from university hospitals and clinics, free room and board (steak, lobster, etc.), life changing notoriety and contacts, free on the job training and stipend money just wasn't reward enough for a 2.5 GPA ...

Should’a kicked for three.
Could’a not let the balls drop.
Would’a beat Tennessee,
in their home of Rocky Top.

Yup....
A&M is moving along nicely so far.

Ug. My beloved Wolverines got stomped by USC.  Looked surprisingly bad on defense.

Welp.

On to next week.  Best not to let last week's loss beat you 2 weeks in a row.  Time to get up for Washington.

(Arkansas O / Arkansas D) + 3 = the opponent’s winning score.

We didn’t lose by 3, but with all the field goals our defense held Auburn to - it still feels like it.

Another lost opportunity against a team simply better at “not losing” than us.

A&M handled LSU.... I was shocked to see so many LSU fans walk out.

The coach of LSU just got his walking papers because of that loss to Texas A&M

So many teams fired head coaches this season.  Lots of spots to fill this year.

LSU (Brian Kelly after hiring him from Notre Dame in 2022, $54M buyout)
Penn State (James Franklin, playoffs last year, 10 years as HC, many good years, but bad this year, $50M buyout)
Florida (Billy Napier, $20M buyout)
Oklahoma State (Mike Gundy, 20 years as HC, many good years, but not recently, $15M buyout)
Arkansas
UCLA
Stanford
Oregon State
Virginia Tech
Colorado State
UAB
Kent State

I picked Arkansas in a pick-em pool because they've played a lot of these ranked teams very close. Bummer to blow it vs. Auburn. But it's tough to win when they gifted Auburn 10 points in 2 drives.
