2025 NCAA Football Thread

Is it that or is it teams being over ranked or is it a team can come up with a perfect game plan or is it something else

Really I think it’s playing your best ball. It’s that “gel” you either get it or not. Offense and defense together. They can start out the year rough or hot but really right now is when it matters.

In NFL I think zebras have a lot to do with it, but you still have to play their best ball now in this time. I’m a sucker and just watch anyway.

I think all the games are on espn/abc

With our Roku setup we don't get those without additional subscriptions. Ive tried but I don't try really hard, if I do a search and the only options are subscription based then I kind of give up.

Defense has gone to sleep and OC Bobo has called a completely different game for 2nd half

Gooooooo Ole Miss!!!

Just like the NFL if a person doesn't have the right subscriptions you can't watch any games you might be interested in.
Wonder how broadcast companies and sports companies survived back when it was free over the air antenna.
Oh well spent some relaxation time, did a freezer clean, made a pheasant leg stroganoff experiment that the family really liked and prepped my ice fishing gear for tomorrow

You have a DM sir.

Like I said. No dog in the fight. My team had a shit year

Pass me the Kleenex box please...

I really thought Georgia was gonna run away with this game... but Ole Miss really impressed me. A good game either way

 

[MileHighSmokerGirl]

Good riddance to the Puppies and the SEC!

It will either be a brand new national champ (Rebels, Ducks or Hoosiers) or one that hasn't won it in a really long time (Canes).

Ok, its over now ...right?

Except the Rebels are an SEC team
At least we had one good game today

Totally agree it’s wild how hard they’ve made it just to watch a game these days.
That pheasant leg stroganoff sounds like a win though, and good luck out on the ice tomorrow!

Doh.

I was referring to Georgia and Bama. I forgot Ole Miss was in the SEC but I can live with that.

It's easy to forget most teams in the SEC the last couple years they need to get the donors to cough up more money so they can buy better players or at least more of the better players.

Exactly, to me they are killing college sports with money. It used to be natural and organic, now they need to buy players. It just kills it really.

I don't think it's "they need to buy players", so much as it's the players should be getting reimbursed for the use of their name, image, likeness on video games, commercials, products, sponsorships, etc.

Why should the NCAA and the schools profit hundreds of millions off the backs of the work these kids put in spring training, summer practice and so on. Why can't they have a piece of the pie? Do I think there needs to be some rules and parameters established? Sure, I do.

The same goes for the transfer portal.

I completely understand where you are coming from. But that’s how the school justifies the “free ride scholarships.” And as far as I’ve always understood, how the school sports programs were funded. Maybe I’m wrong though. I guess it’s a different world now. Oh well.
