Really hoping OUTX goes to a bunch of overtimes so they get just desserts for moving the game from mildly hot but oh well time of day to "most scorching hot possible please" time of day and it gets dark.

I wondered about that. I mean it gets dark here before 7

Yeah unless something changes the Cotton Bowl doesn't have lights. I really want this to happen. If for no other reason than learning what they'd do.
 
Glad Bama held on to win! Would have made Vandy's win look bad if the lost this week!

Headed to UK v. Vandy tonight - expecting UK to win pretty handily.
 
This year feels like there is especially no clearly good team. Maybe if Texas shows well today?

SEC looking really wobbly from the traditional powers.
 
ACC refs at it again. Reviewed a potential TD to give it to Stanford, clearly short. Next play he’s stopped even further away, they call TD and refuse review. Unreal.

It just means more in the SEC though, like it always has. They only look wobbly because even the bad teams should be ranked in the top 25.

Called offensive PI on Penn State at the goalline but the WR didn't even raise his arms. He was running a route. Horrible call.

I think it’s the exact opposite. The SEC is now competing with NIL and looks weaker relatively.

The ACC and Big XII had winning records against the SEC in 2023. The Bog XII is even against them again this year.

Bad team beats good team in the sec - “wow look at the depth.” Bad team beats good team anywhere else “wow that conference sucks!”

No team faces more adversity every week than poor old Notre Dame.

Conference refs. It’s an annual tradition. You know it’s bad when the announcers call it out and then even the phone-a-friend ref can’t defend how bad they are.
 
Maybe the longer travel distances are taking a toll in the new Big Ten. USC loses at Michigan and Minnesota but handles* PennSt in LA. Washington beats Michigan at home sandwiched between losses at Rutgers and Iowa.

* was handling, lead down to 7 now

As a VT alum with kids that went to UVA, I watch a lot of bad ACC football. But one thing is consistent, the bad refs. Watch the basics like spotting the ball in Q1. They are often off by 2-3 yards. So lazy. My understanding is they get $3000 per game and only 12 games. So $36K + expenses for the college regular season. It's not a lucrative career. So you get what you get

All the depth from traditional powerhouse teams hit the portal and become starters elsewhere.

I love the “Any Given Saturday” tilt the P4 has now.

In the future they are going to figure out ways to keep more guys around with NIL commitments and promises.

Until then…..we have real legit parity now.
