The OFFICIAL 2023 College Football RANDOM THOUGHTS Thread

The Texas OL Pancake factory NIL initiative was a one year thing. It was quickly learned that wasn't going to be sustainable and also you didn't want to have to pay every OL on the roster that amount on a yearly basis.
When NIL became a thing the thought at Texas was we would get to a point where everyone on the roster would at least be getting a base NIL "salary" yearly. In year 3 that is no longer the goal. Reason #1 one is because we wouldn't be able to afford it, reason #2 is if you are paying everyone that gives some guys less incentive to move on and sometimes you need to lose some guys from the roster.
I know everyone thinks a school like UT is swimming in NIL money but it isn't a bottomless well. Right now most of the NIL money comes from mid level donors and the fans. The big money guys largely don't believe in paying football players and would much rather give their money to have a building built with their name on it. I think of it as living paycheck to paycheck because after almost every cycle pennies are being scraped together. So far we have been able to not renig on any promises, not all teams can say that, and being in a city with no professional teams the corporate NIL gives us a much needed assist. But Texas is tapped out for the most part, and I imagine a lot of other schools are too.
Teams full of 4 and 5 stars just to get thisWhite mediocrity
Sounds like another 3rd basemen we all know

One thing I think people also overlooked is Jalen McMillan coming back after being out like 8 games.. Dude was their #2 weapon last season and at one point was goto Odunze. Had over 1k last season, when he is on field their offense is a machine because you cant really key up Odunze like that with him also taking top off defense.. Polk goes back to #3 and they can COOK like early in season, people fell for the late season UW not understanding McMillan is a BIG piece of that machine..
Boy had 131 yards last night
Nix emotional after loss, 'no idea' on bowl status
Oregon quarterback Bo Nix, still "in shock" after Friday night's loss in the Pac-12 title game, sidestepped a question about whether he would play in the Ducks' upcoming bowl game.
Just like Mazda Marv, Nix didn’t really have a great run but he sure did have A run. Enjoy the NFL

Yeah, they looked like a different team from the past few weeks. I didn’t expect this outcome.

Take Bama out and you got something
That Sunbelt championship might be kinda crazy.

I really don't get the hype about Texas. I wouldn't be surprised at all if OSU beat them.

That AAC should be interesting, I woulda took SMU straight up against Tulane but they lost their QB last week..
Miami (OH) gonna try to avenge their only conference loss to Toledo also for that MAC..
I just want to see Mich vs. Bama and I think this is the logical scenario that makes that happen. Also, think Penix and Ewers qb shootout could be nice.

Of course but if they don't... I don't see FSU being left out with an undefeated season. I think Michigan is gonna beat Iowa no issues.
I think Texas will win also.
My question is what happens if Bama beats Georgia and I think you all know the answer. SEC ain't getting left out. Period.
