Fla St. at #80.  What a free fall!

edit to add:  Has a school ever dropped off so drastically in such a short period of time?  Screwed out of a spot in the playoff one season and ranked #80 by the 4th week of the next season.  

Another thought:  What impact did getting bypassed for the playoff spot have on this?

More importantly, glad to see UNT moving up and hope it continues.

Good question.  2007 Michigan comes to mind after the App State loss.  Though I believe they ended up ranked by the end of the year.

Boise St. At #25 in the AP poll? They’re 2-1 something’s wrong with this! They play Wash. State this weekend, let’s see how good they are then. 

Boise State went toe to toe with the current #8 team in the country, Oregon. Obviously a loss is a loss, but they showed that they’re a competitive team, at least in my opinion

I think they had like 30 players, and many starters, skip their Bowl game.   I think they also took a big hit in the Portal.

I tend to agree that being left out of the playoff as an undefeated team caused players to leave.  How many?  That’s the real question.  I don’t like Fla St, but I feel like Playoff Committee killed their football program…at least in the short term.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
