Entire season’s worth special teams mistakes from Louisville and Norte Dame in the first quarter.

Just took a look at Indiana's schedule. They could go 11-2 with 2 losses to Ohio State. Would that be good enough to get them in CFP? I think they would be squarely on the bubble. Their schedule isn't that strong.

Our average schedule strength the last decade of the Big 12 before this year was #11. Iowa’s was #38.

Our schedule is going to just be “normal” now rather than easy. Averaging 11th toughest over a decade is incredibly difficult when you realize it’s almost impossible for a team to average above 7th, you’d need to be top ten every year.

Tons of teams regularly play really easy schedules. That year TCU got dogged for their “horrible“ schedule, they were 52nd going into bowls and Ohio State that jumped them was 56th prior to playoff.

Looks like no $100K QB, no problem for UNLV. Imagine being a below average QB and sitting out for demanding more money when the team looks better without you.
It would be hilarious if they gave the back up from Campbell college the 100k. He definitely looks better than Sluka.
