The PORTAL and NIL have made this season spectacular if you enjoy competition, especially in the SEC. No more dominant teams winning year in and year out when Vandy takes down Bama and UGA has two losses.Funner than hell to watch. I have never flipped between so many games that had my heart pounding. The expanded playoff has made CFB as exciting as I've ever seen.
Agree. The NIL/Transfer portal has FINALLY introduced some real parity into college football and I couldn't be happier!The PORTAL and NIL have made this season spectacular if you enjoy competition, especially in the SEC.

Yet the NIL and portal have brought the worst to college football.NIL & the Transfer Portal has maybe brought more parity to the sport than has ever been seen. CFB is more fun to watch than it's ever been in my lifetime. Talent is spread out like never before. I believe it was the Nebraska Football coach who said these guys who used to sit at 2nd or 3rd string on a powerhouse team are now being the number one guy and getting a big payday for another school. That always happened to a degree (minus the payday) but now the powerhouses (no matter who they are) can't afford to pay their 2nd & 3rd string the big bucks they can get elsewhere.
I’m really hoping for some strong leadership on this instead of chicken littles scared of every whiff of liability. If we can thread the needle with giving some guidance and guardrails on NIL, transfers, and compliance, college football could be awesome… and (virtually) everyone could be happy from fans to schools to TV media to players.Yet the NIL and portal have brought the worst to college football.
I don’t think they will bump Georgia out in that scenario honestly. Georgia has played the hardest schedule this year; they’ve also beat Texas once already at Texas. Ole Miss is really their only loss that looked bad. I don’t see Texas suddenly beating them though either. Question is if Texas loses will they be ranked below us?Even better...we beat vandy and uga loses in the sec championship to texas. UT and texas are the only SEC teams in the playoffs. How sweet would that be?
Not being a smart arse but...like what? A lot of people like to say "it's ruined college football" but they never really explain how. I don't think I know of anything monumentally bad that has happened. Are you talking about situations like with the UNLV QB? If it's true that the school promised him something and then didn't deliver then good for him - he should leave. If he left just because he thought his stock had risen then of course that's not right. Either way we don't know the whole story on that particular situation.Yet the NIL and portal have brought the worst to college football.
Any other year? Maybe. Just not this one. Texas wins and it’s forever going to be “guess y’all need to rise to the level of Texas football” and there won’t even be any point talking weak schedules with them, either. They’ll just be like sorry, what? Got distracted polishing this trophy. This year is “guess you all need to rise to the level of SEC ball” year.Even better...we beat vandy and uga loses in the sec championship to texas. UT and texas are the only SEC teams in the playoffs. How sweet would that be?
