Ohio State has road games against Penn State and Oregon. They also have to get the Michigan monkey off their back. They have a great team but I'm not ready to pencil them in at 12-0.

Mixed feelings for sure. In my perfect world, the PAC 12 would have survived and would have been able to keep up with the Big Ten and SEC financially. It's sad to see the conference die and some of the rivalries will be damaged. I know Oregon made an agreement to continue playing Oregon State...

It's going to be very interesting to see how the committee ranks teams moving forward with the 12 team playoff and the new conferences. The Big Ten and SEC are going to play significantly more difficult schedules than the ACC and Big 12 teams. How are they going to rank a 9-3/8-4 team from the...

That said, Washington is better upfront (on both sides of the ball) then people...
NIL is the current solution because the schools aren't paying athletes directly. If you create employment contracts with the players, you can require them to play in bowl games or suffer a financial penalty.
