I'll have a couple games on in the background today while I work about the house and yard.

During Iowa/Iowa State - "put the biscuit in the basket"

Del/CU - 0% surprised Sanders is the type of guy to comment on a sideline reporters outfit while she's working ☹️. Players doing well and playing with a sense of fun though.

Break in the game commentary on FoxCFB, anyone else notice the bug in bottom left corner that said Iowa State Ames High versus Iowa Hawkeyes? 😂

But the question remains, how would things have gone for Kiffin in Knoxville if he never bolted for Southern Cal on that January night 15 years ago?

Walls: “(We) Would have won some SEC Championships. We just might have had to give some of them back. We probably would have had to give some back. But we would have won some because the dude was a master recruiter.”

Wild. This is the sort of stuff that absolutely baffles my non-US family when I try to explain non-professional college football to them.

Ssssh, don't talk about Nebraska looking good this season lest the curse start paying attention to us again after finally being drawn away by Colorado.

Ideal state: we stay off the rankings list until, surprise! We're playing for Big 10 championship!

Yes. At the time I'm commenting, 1 out of 2 questions on the "women's" question is about the gendered nature of the question itself (50%). And 2 out of 11 on the "mens" (18%). The dataset has already been "polluted" as you describe, by the design of the questions.

Player allegiance is to their team most of the time, not a school, not a geographical region, not a fan base. If a leader who was a substantial part of what made the team "the team", then players should be able to go search out a new team.

Coaches contracts have managed to work this out. They stick out their contract or they pay (or get their next school to pay). Schools keep coaches to end of contract or they pay.

I don't want to see players limited in ways coaches aren't. They only get a few years to play college ball, while coaches get decades. Let the players take their best shots. It's crazy now because it's new, things will settle down after a couple seasons. Maybe NIL contracts start looking different to encourage players to stick around 3+ years.
