They'll get a chance for that to sort itself out.

Nebraska is #39 in the composite rankings and Indiana was convincing. It looks like Cignetti knows what he's doing. But, yeah, a league-low .240 in-conference strength of schedule and a bottom-five out-of-conference schedule.

Michigan will be their biggest challenge of the season in a couple of weeks, and they don't even have a quarterback now that former Hoosier Tuttle has retired. They could go into Columbus undefeated without having even faced a legitimate top-25 team.

That number and "not having a pulse" are not mutually exclusive in college football at this point.

Yeah, there was one that I saw that was pretty flagrant.

The punishments seem severe enough so hopefully most of the BS will stop. But suspect there'll still be some at critical moments.

Is the SEC alone in this?

Punishments laid out in Sankey's memo include the following: for the first offense, a head coach receives a public reprimand and a $50,000 fine; for the second offense, another reprimand and a $100,000 fine; for a third offense, another reprimand and the coach will be suspended for his program's next game.

Any staff member found to be involved in signaling or directing a player to feign an injury will face the same measures, including financial penalties and a suspension. A player cited for feigning an injury also may be subject to a public reprimand.

This might be Ryan Day's last big loss. He won't survive spending this much NIL money and not getting to the playoffs.

That or Penn State will turn out to be what they always are, just that step below.

What a big turnover.

Part two. Two crazy turnovers in the endzone for both teams.

Hogs not doing great. Time to switch channels.
