In fact Indiana beat Oregon and ….? That entire league is so overrated 

The bottom of the league is awful, and the overall style of the league is boring.

If that's what you mean by overrated, I agree.

Good news is Ohio State and Georgia should be able to settle it on the field in 6 weeks.  We can pick this debate up then.

Looking forward to seeing it.  I think Ohio State wins by 3 TDs tonight.  Indiana is a great story but they can’t beat this team

The Alabama-Georgia and OSU-Indiana games are pointless.   If I was the coach of any of these teams I'd send my second string out there.  I'm not risking player health or my playbooks for a meaningless game against a team I'm gonna be playing again in a month.

Next step is they eliminate conference championships.

Ok, so who is crowned the Conference Champion then?

'Cos schedules are completely unbalanced - as evidenced by this ACC CG (and fuging Alabama making the SEC game).

The Alabama - Georgia game was essentially an elimination game for Alabama and Georgia's chance to lose a first round bye. 

The OSU - Indiana game is for the number 1 seed and Indiana's first conference championship in school history. 

How are either of those pointless games?

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
