SEC (It just means more.. even its losses are wins)

It's bullshit. LSU is being singled out because their new coach is perceived as being abrasive. "After 93 years of enabling its rule-breakers, the SEC has finally found religion with LSU." - I couldn't have said it better myself.

I think it's part of something bigger. It has to be. You are talking real money here, not the kind of money that cares what a child like Lane Kiffin says or does (not really).

I see this as proof the new super league is coming and the SEC/B1G know it and are maneuvering.

Think about an NFL owner telling the shield to go fuck themselves. Retribution would be coming and right swift. I think that is what this is.

It's kind of like Vegas being run by the mob and having all these great quirky stories and personalities, then the suits take over and that's all she wrote. CFB is now in that end game as the suits kick out the mob.

Thee Ohio State University News

I was part of the last intake (summer 72) when he was President. He definitely looked like a very tired man who had had enough hippie nonsense to last his remaining years.

Yeah, I was there during the Spring of 1970 during the Vietnam protests, riots, national guard on campus, tear gas, and eventual campus shutdown. I guess (at least) it wasn't as bad a Kent State. My personnel observation was that it got a lot worse after Kent State though; I have always thought that after the shootings at Kent State the outside agitators there just came down to Columbus to cause more chaos at Ohio State, etc. I can see how 1970 could have really took a toll on him.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Official Thread)

Baker Mayfield, Buccaneers agree to massive three-year contract extension

The massive contract ends tense negotiations which seemingly came to a pause at the start of training camp​

Baker Mayfield got the contract he wanted, after all. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their quarterback are in agreement on a new three-year extension, the team announced on Tuesday, which ends one of the off season's most high-profile contract standoffs.

The deal is worth $165 million, which makes its average annual value a whopping $55 million, CBS Sports' Pete Prisco confirmed. That salary places Mayfield in a tie for the third-highest-paid quarterback in the league, matching him with Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Jordan Love, Trevor Lawrence and Matthew Stafford. Mayfield becomes the highest-paid player in franchise history.

The timing of the agreement is entirely surprising given that Mayfield and the Buccaneers had seemingly shut down their negotiations at the start of training camp. Mayfield made it clear that he wanted to have a deal in place by the time he reported to practice and said that he would not resume talks until after the 2026 season. The parties seemingly continued to work toward a deal in the background, though, as they came to terms just in time for the start of the campaign.

Here are the 10 highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL, per Over The Cap.

Player Team AAV
Patrick Mahomes Chiefs $64 million
Dak Prescott Cowboys $60 million
Baker Mayfield Buccaneers $55 million
Joe Burrow Bengals $55 million
Josh Allen Bills $55 million
Jordan Love Packers $55 million
Trevor Lawrence Jaguars $55 million
Matthew Stafford Rams $55 million
Jared Goff Lions $53 million
Brock Purdy 49ers $53 million
Purdy, Lawrence and Mayfield seem to kind of stand out on that list to me

2026 Polls

Picking the best college football team in each state ahead of the 2026 season

From Alabama to Wyoming, and everywhere in between, these are the best Division I college football teams in every state​

bestteamsmap-editorial.png


OHIO -- Ohio State: This one was obvious as the Buckeyes remain serious national championship contenders under Ryan Day. In fact, they may be the favorite to win it all in 2026. Heisman Trophy finalist Julian Sayin is back to throw to fellow Heisman Trophy candidate Jeremiah Smith behind what should be an elite offensive line. On defense, Matt Patricia has been paid handsomely to keep working his magic.

I see one state they got wrong already

MAC Conference Discussion

Login to view embedded media
Regardless if WMU wins their appeal or not, the fact that they lost to scUM by 1 on a freaking hail mary is the loudest point made in this entire convo. On top of that WMU won the turnover battle(scUM had 3 to WMU 0), outgained them on the ground(which was supposed to be the strongest part of scUM's offense), had less penalties than scUM, more first downs, and held scUM to 123yds if you take away the last second 47yd hail mary. To put it plainly, scUM was dominated by a MAC team, at home AND still paid them $1.5mil.

And now they have 7 days to get ready to beat a #11 Oklahoma team :cool:

I'm thinking a lot of those are going to be bought and shipped to various zip codes in and around Columbus.

Game Thread tOSU at Texas, Sat. Sept 12, 7:30 pm ET, ABC

What floors me is a year later after Julian already went to New York… It’s damn near consensus AGAIN that Manning gives them the advantage at QB.

How do you watch the two play and come away with Arch being the better QB?

I don’t follow at all, and when I hear that argument I Question the persons intelligence or their ability to read. All you have to do is look at the stats. One almost set the yearly completion percentage mark and the other still throws into double coverage multiple times a game. What are we even doing here?

Then there’s this odd thing that this year Texas spent money on their roster. I assure you they did last year and btw they spent more than we did in 2024 too.

Both rosters are great, and it’ll come down to the simple things as it always does.

1. Turnovers
2. LOS

I’m confident Julian will take care of the ball. Can anyone say the same for Arch? Bottom line is that if our OL isn’t just an absolute mess we’ll win the game.

If it’s circa 2025 vs Indiana again then yeah it’ll be a dog fight. But if they can just hold their own I don’t see Texas being within 2 touchdowns in the 4th.

They pretty much just point to the Indiana & Miami games......

you can do the same with Arch though

He was horrible in the Texas A&M game that eliminated them from playoff contention and was wildly mediocre at best in the Georgia and Ohio State games (both Ls where Texas only scored 17 points combined) He also threw 2 4th quarter INTs that helped seal Texas' loss to a bad Florida team.

Sayin's performances behind shoddy OL play in the Indiana/Miami games were still better than Arch's efforts against Texas A&M and Georgia.

A difference that often gets left out as well is that 2025 was Sayin's 1st season of getting real playing time. Arch played a decent amount in 2024 and theoretically with 2025 being his 3rd year in college compared to 2 years for Sayin, should be much further along in "development"

Week 1 Game Discussion Thread

For those of us of a certain age group, it’s still hard to fathom how far Florida State has fallen compared to their peak years under Bowden

FSU has played New Mexico State and SMU and absolutely cannot convert on 3rd down nor get their defense off the field on 3rd down.

Their secondary is a sieve as is the OL. The QB is a clown show and will eventually remind the world that he is a turnover machine- not just a punt maker.

I am with you- I hate FSU and I hate their trash fan base-but goddamn...I cannot believe they are this bad.
