Seriously underrated ability (one I wish I was better at) is tracking pricing. Team dropped 6 points in a misleading final? Bet. But NOBODY does forward projection better than Duck. I would put my mortgage on Miami +104 this weekend if it were offered today
Reminder: MGM opened Miami at Clemson a Pickem 5 months ago. This is why I do what I do in March and April.

I bought a ticket for #9 Auburn at Mississippi State in 2018 for $7. This weekend, a ticket for #7 Alabama at #16 Mississippi State starts at $130. Inflation has hit nothing harder than college football tickets.
Sports is very much on this up and to the right trend post Covid, but college football attendance is one I’m selling on. You’re going to start seeing more empty seats at places you’re not used to see them

Waning attendance has absolutely nothing to do with views on NIL or the College Football Playoff. It has 99.99% to do with increasing and inaccessible ticket prices. When the product is better on TV, you have to incentivize fans to go and programs just aren’t doing that.

Not enough and Riley only conceded to public outrage. The definition of the manager calling you in “just because I have to talk to you about it.”
USC has suspended Desman Stephens II for Saturday’s game vs. Washington, the team announced. The USC LB was ejected after a late hit on Oregon QB Dante Moore.

UMass will hit this by November Some remaining opponents (my power rating rank): - Eastern Michigan (128th) - Miami (96th, home) - Buffalo (133rd) - Ball State (134th) - Akron (130th) - Bowling Green (136th)
Three more wins until UMass can make its first bowl since the 1972 Boardwalk Bowl!

Arthur Smith’s offense would look phenomenal with a JK Dobbins/Ezekiel Elliott in the backfield. Unfortunately, Buckeyes don’t have that. So instead they have any two (or more) of McCuin, Inniss, Bey, and Henry on the sidelines instead for this. No pop coming from the RB room
Day needs one of these run concepts to hit for an explosive. Watch his reaction on the sideline 😂

Michigan is the biggest botched call since Intertouchdownception away from being 2-2 with its marquee win being over an Oklahoma team that just lost by 31 to Georgia and a loss to Western Michigan. Loosest use of the word “great” I’ve ever heard
Michigan defensive back, Rod Moore postgame: "Iowa is a good team, we're a great team. ... It kind of doesn't make sense."

I would absolutely hear this argument if the USC kid didn’t galavant around the stadium while Moore was down. What makes that hit dirty (and the one shown here) is the reaction of the defender who was so clearly proud of the shot he took and the clear underlying intent
Nearly identical to Dante’s today. 2 things: - only slide if you can get down plenty early (some argue dive vs slide) - never slide when trying to get a first down 1. I see so many QB’s get ruled down short because you’re down when you begin your slide 2. Defender is more likely to come in aggressive to prevent first down (leading to bad hits) Protect yourself as a runner to get the first

Horrendous look but probably a pretty accurate window into the state of the program. This team is done
Julian Walker was going to sub in for Dylan Stewart and Stewart refused to come out. Lots of yelling. Eventually the coaches yanked him

1. Jackson Sarman drops so deep he takes himself out of the pocket and nearly gets sacked 2. He throws a specialty-order Meatball Sub right to the facemask of a LB 3. Sac State had these angles plus 3 more players and couldn’t get the LB down 4. Pick-six UMass Absolute disaster
Sac state will not win another game this season in all likelihood

Rewatching Georgia Tech-Stanford and it’s abundantly clear Brent Key made a mistake betting his season on Mendoza based on namesake. Alberto looked good for Indiana but every situation was a lopsided blowout with a massive talent edge

Also hopefully Brandon Nicholson is good, he’s a Bugatti at the trailer park type player for Stanford. Outrageous talent there.
