Done with college football early this year. Its getting like MLB. Same crap every year, decade after decade. Dodgers, Yankees, Cubs, Philly's and all the big spenders in a non salary cap league. Kinda sickening to me unless your a fan of one of those teams I guess. Was nice to see Seattle and Detroit make the playoffs this year but that was pretty much short lived. Now that things are finally taking shape in college football, we have the same crap here. Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia, Oregon and Texas A&M, etc,. Tired of it and checking out of college football till the bowl games and then I won't watch many of them either. Except for the playoff teams most of the other games they hardly field a team anymore. All the best players sit out for the draft.

Whoooa now wait a minute, Slow down there Buddy...all we are doing is playing by the Rules given to us. These games are not blow outs. They are close score Tough games. Except for the Touchdowns we put on the Reds, but other than that, most games have been good hard fought ball games.

I'm not arguing about the rules, NIL or anything like that. But it doesn't change the fact after yesterday that the same ole **** for the past decade is about to form again. Alabama, Ohio State, Oregon and Texas A&M. BORING. Have no interest in seeing this shape out again. Only thing missing is Clemson. Happy Holidays.

I've been hearing these complaints about NIL hurting the parity in college football and makes zero sense. Handful of blue blood programs always dominated the recruiting, before or after the NIL. It has always been a top heavy sport, basically nothing changed from 10 years ago.

If anything there are more mid tier type of programs like Indiana, SMU, ASU that attract the players who are very good but dont really stand out in bigger programs.

He's just upset because Bill has been a HUGE flop. He got all excited before the season started.

I don't have a ton of faith in my school at the moment. Those in charge. So, I've kind of tuned them out. But College Football has always been dominated by a select few. Which is why I've always preferred the NFL over it.

Nothing beats a saturday college football atmosphere. I understand it can be difficult for me to relate, since I enrolled first time at OSU I've experienced countless conference championships, six finals and three national championships. Most dont even experience one of those.

It has been a smooth sailing outside of a short Luke Fickell stint lol
