The secondary impact of this arrived today with the AAC pulling SIX from C-USA:

Already leaving AAC: UCF, Cincy, Houston

AAC remnants: East Carol, Memphis, USF, SMU, Temple, Tulane, Tulsa, Wichita St

Six from C-USA to AAC: UAB, FAU, UNC-Char, UNT, Rice, UTSA

C-USA remnants (8): FIU, LA Tech, Marshall, MTSU, Old Dominion, USoMiss, UTEP, WKU. <-- Who will those eight go after? Footprint says ...

OU and Texas moving may have killed off Conference USA.

There also reports that CUSA may be looking at… Liberty. The team the NCAA had to give an exemption to move up because no conference wanted them.

I read JMU (FCS) and Liberty (FBS Indy) are top of list.

But to your first point (OU/UT), seems so, more so if that source is right about the Sun Belch (OK, Belt) going after C-USA remnant, USoMiss, Marshall, ODU.

Stanford has both beaten team who then fired their coach before the next game and lost to a team who then fired a coach before their next game. I wonder if that's happened before.

It's probably happened at the end of a season with ragged schedules. But mid-season? Nah, this is pretty impressive. Who do you play next?
 
So looking like the ACC will have a champion not named Clemson or Florida State for the first time in over a decade. Pitt will be looking or its first ACC title, while Wake Forest and NC State will be looking for their first titles since 2006 or 1979 respectively.

College football overtime rules explained


From the start of the 2021 college football season, the rules governing what happens when a game is tied have changed. Suppose a winner hasn’t been decided by the end of the first overtime period. In that case, the extra-point attempt following a touchdown will be replaced by a mandatory two-point effort from the start of the second overtime period.

Previously, that element of college football overtime rules started from the third period of overtime. In an attempt to shorten college football games, the NCAA moved up that overtime rule a period.

If the game is still tied following the conclusion of the second overtime period, then a sudden death shootout begins in the third overtime. There is no drive down the field to find the end zone. Instead, each time makes alternating two-point attempts until a winner emerges. For the past two seasons, this came into play from the fifth overtime period.

Thanks for finding that- I was trying to follow on Game Tracker, and kept seeing Illinois first and goal at the 2, and the only thing changing was the number of OT's- really odd.

For the shoot out- very lame- some great plays happened from the 25 yard line in OTs. The only thing I can think of that is better for the one play drives is player safety, as they don't get overly tired and susceptible to injuries. Other than that, not cool.

As with anything in sports these days, it's TV driven. They want the game over within the scheduled window. Shorter OTs help ensure that.

And don't you dare suggest eliminating or shortening commercial breaks instead.
 
(6)Michigan(-3.5)@(8)Michigan St is the only game involving Top 25 teams playing each other today. A little surprised at the line what with the game in Lansing. I was a fan of Bo Schembechler, had nothing but bad thoughts for W. Hayes and Oh10 St(still despise that team)and I've been following *Go Blue* for over 40 years now.

Michigan gets a ton more "generic" money on them than State. That's why they are favored in Vegas.

Remember, the spread is NOT a prediction of the actual outcome. It's Vegas' guess as to what score will bring in equal money on both sides of the bet. Because UM has a much larger following than Sparty, they will have a ton more bets on them, regardless of what either team is doing that season.

You are correct that the spread is not a prediction; I like to call it a ledger balance. And vegasinsider.com had the line opening at Mich -2 going to -4 so the money statement is also correct. But as for the point spread being a "guess" Google Roxy Roxborough.

D'oh! I was on ESPN's schedule page and didn't scroll down far enough.
