    Turns out NIL is the "great equalizer" of college football.

    Seriously. "Cheating" is legal and now everybody is doing it, not just a few dominant schools. Plus, the transfer portal means stockpiling players is very difficult now.

    Such a tough loss for the Aggies. I feel bad it came down to a player dropping an easy pass in OT.

    On the bright side, it's going to make the atmosphere at Kyle Field next week even more insane. Game of the year!

    This is unbearably naive.

    Are the big 10 schools really better than the SEC schools or are their scrub team so bad that they never upset anyone.

    I think both Oregon and Ohio State are better than any SEC team, UT included.
    UT and UGA are the only SEC teams I would pick to beat Penn State.
    IU is on the same level of Tennessee, Ole Miss, etc.

    I was like.... 75% sure TAMU would lose to SC. 49% sure we'd lose to Auburn (the trappiest of trap games).

    Still control our own destiny somehow. I think we can beat UT at home fasho. But it could also be a blow out.

    Ultimate worst fear is taking a big lead fast OR hurting Ewers and letting Manning in the game. I'm not saying Manning is better than Ewers right now, don't get me wrong, but unlike Ewers, (potential for mistakes aside) Manning can shred fast if he's feeling it.

    I think Ole Miss is the most underrated in the SEC. They aren't perfect, obviously, lots of holes, but can beat anyone IMO. Dangerous team to play.

    It's kind of amazing the numbers Sanders has put up considering how crappy the Colorado offensive is. They are horrible. Sanders is a little too calm in the pocket.

    Disagree,

    Ohio State could be beaten by basically any high end SEC school. Not saying they would for sure lose, but to act like Bama, Ole Miss, Georgia, UT, etc couldn’t beat them is ludicrous.

    Oregon is really good, but basically same goes for them.

    I love the Indiana story but they would get thrashed by Tennessee and the rest of them.

    Penn St. isn’t capable of winning games against top 10 opponents period. That’s a complete fraud program.

    I expect Big 10 to get 4 teams and SEC to get 3 in the playoff. Hard to say what’s going to happen until the specific matchups are clear.

    First off, you should stop being "ludicrous" and learn to read. I never said or implied anybody couldn't beat Ohio State.

    Other than that, to each their own opinion.

    I wasn’t trying to attack your take, you’re right my post was a bit of a straw man. I personally just think the big 10 is overrated and it tends to play out like that year after year.

    Ohio state and Oregon are clearly in a class of their own in the big 10 and it’s nauseating that Penn St. just gets gifted a top spot bc they played Ohio state close, at home? I guess.

    I thought GT might win, but putting up 300 yards of offense and 17 points in the 1H is not something I expected at all

    I still think they’ll lose but I’m here for the carnage.
