    James Madison coming off a 13-6 win against Gardner-Webb.

    I'm getting a taste of Big Ten officiating. The refs are doing everything they can to make sure Ohio State wins. Observation: The Buckeyes don't need the help.
    Marshall punts, OSU receiver muffs it, Marshall recovers inside the 20. But in comes a late flag. Illegal procedure on Marshall. The right guard and tackle might have lined up a couple of inches too far back -- or might not. Re-kick. Next play, OSU guy runs 86 yards for a TD. The guy who could have tackled him for a 1-yard gain is held -- no call. Next series, obvious PI by OSU on a Marshall receiver -- no call.

    In the past three games, Mississippi State has been outscored 83-20 in the first half.
    They've outscored opponents 34-16 in the second half.
    Florida leads 28-14 at the half, so the Bulldogs have them right where they want them.

    YouTube TV needs to figure out some way every game is not in commercial or at halftime at the same time. Kind of misses the point of multi view.

    Half a hundred in a half for JMU.

    One would think that a team named the Dukes would motivate Chapel Hill to play better.

    The one time in my life I wanted to see a halftime interview and they toss it straight to the studio.

    Also worth noting that JMU is getting $500K for this game. And $700K for another matchup down the road.

    Mississippi State will earn 20x the CFP money as Toledo, which beat them like a rented mule. UNC will get about 16x the CFP money JMU will earn.

    I know the P4 programs are better top-to-bottom, the top 15 programs draw the eyeballs, and should earn more than the G5. But 20 times more? There's not a whole lot of difference between the bottom 25 P4 teams and the top 25 G5 programs.

    I love hearing UNC getting booed off the field. The guys on the ACC Network are doing their best to put lipstick on this pig, it's against company policy to say the Heels are getting absolutely curb-stomped by a third-year FBS program.

    You won’t hear it at the end of the game, because the fans in blue will be on their third cocktail back home by then.

    It’s so bad in Chapel Hill, Michael Jordan wants his logo taken off the uniforms and the adidas logo put on.
