Five CFB teams set to rise in 2021 — and 5 set to tumble (247sports.com)


Someone's opinion, Wisconsin among the risers, as is LSU.

Other than a 7 PM start vs. the Bucks, nothing but 1100 AM local starts. Including the game @ Colorado. No respect.

Apparently this would be the first 11 AM MDT start in Boulder in 20+ years.

respect is earned and lost

TV ratings don't lie

Huskers need to win some damn games and get better time slots

11am for the Sooner game

Well LSU has to rise almost by default.

FOX announced that Oklahoma and Nebraska would reignite their rivalry on ‘Big Noon Kickoff,’ which means the game will begin at 11:00 a.m. local time. That didn’t sit too well with the Sooners’ brass, who have apparently been campaigning for a later start time behind the scenes. Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione put out a statement expressing his displeasure with FOX’s decision.

“We are bitterly disappointed that the great Oklahoma-Nebraska rivalry, on the 50th anniversary of the Century, will kick off at 11 a.m,” Castiglione said in a statement. “We tried every avenue possible to proactively make our case. The Big 12 Conference also supported our strenuous efforts to secure a more traditional time that would honor this game and our fans. However, in the end, our TV partner chose to exercise its full contractual rights and denied our requests.”

All of UW's best games are at Noon, including ND at Soldier Field. 

It sucks.

Noon is bad, 1100 is worse.

DraftKings set Georgia's win total on the season at over/under 10.5 games. This same projection in 2020 was set for Georgia at 10 games. In 2019, the projection was also 10.5 and Georgia ultimately went 11-1 for the third-straight season.

Other SEC teams of note are Alabama at 11.5 wins, Florida at 9 wins, Auburn at 7 wins, Tennessee at 6 wins, Texas A&M at 9.5 wins, and LSU at 8.5 wins. That win projection also means the Dawgs would lose 1-2 games during the season. Georgia is set to open the 2021 season on Sept. 4 against Clemson in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Tigers' win projection is 11.5 wins.

See any you'd bet over or under here?

Thinking we should get a tad bit more parity - with OSU, Bammer, and Clemson breaking in new quarterbacks, plus lots of returning players for other teams. Possibly a new team in the playoff mix?

Bammer and Clemmons are projected at 11.5 wins, which means playoff barring CG upset.  Might not happen of course.  Ohio State should win the weak Big Ten.

I'm joking.

Throw in Oklahoma and you have same old thing.
