I think we'll see quite a few changes in policies after this season.  There have been any number of things that might have sounded good at the time and don't look good at all now.

I think the problem with waiting until after bowl season is that it's after the new semester has started for most schools.

Wouldn't want these student-athletes to be before they even step into class!

So, the first bowl games come up soon, right?  I'll try and track how often the underdog covers (and wins).

maybe we could move the season up a month to fix that   - July games!

First bowl game, the 6 point favorite won by 7, so that's a cover.

2800 players in transfer portal?

And from Cal-UNLV:  this guy was a 3rd-year freshman


WTF is going on?!?  It's like the powers that be are actively trying to destroy college football.

Flipped on the bowls last night, catching the end of the Boca Raton Bowl which eased into the LA Bowl. I keep hearing these bowls are “meaningless” but nonetheless they have passing entertainment value, kind’ve like watching NBA All-Star games in the 1990s. Where you got to watch players you heard about but whose teams were hardly ever featured on TV – like Glen Rice & Vin Baker. Similarly, these meaningless bowls allow you to check in on teams you hear about but get drowned out by the bigger games on Saturdays. James Madison beat Western Kentucky. And #24 UNLV beat Cal.

In both Bowls the Transfer Portal was a talking point between the commentators, pointing out how each team was playing their bowl without a dozen or so players. For instance Cal was without their starting QB Fernando Mendoza, a fan favorite among Bears fans due to his folksy nature and underdog story. To think it was only as far back as 2016 when it was a big story for Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey to sit out the Sun Bowl Vs North Carolina to ready for the NFL Draft.
