Was told multiple MLS owners are upset with how MLS has handled this situation. Even some of the big market teams don’t like the arbitrary nature of MLS’s decision to hand out this kind of honor. Will be interesting to hear Garber address this.

Didn’t Ohio State beat the No. 1 team that everyone thought would come into the Shoe and win? Didn’t the Buckeye defense shut down the Heisman trophy favorite? I get it was at home but you can’t just decide Texas isn’t good to prop up the new team you want to get excited about.

USC's schedule "is about the same as Ohio State's... They haven't won a ranked vs. ranked game since 2017."
Pretty sure Ohio State has two ranked wins this year so I'm not sure how those statements on GameDay make sense.

I just came across this quote from Will Howard after the Cotton Bowl. I think it says a lot about this Ohio State program coming from a guy who has only been a part of the team for just over a year.

J.K. Dobbins is beat out by Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor for the Big Ten’s Running Back of the Year Award. Dobbins is 104 yards and one touchdown behind Taylor and didn’t play in four fourth quarters. Taylor is good, but this is certainly a snub.

I respect the fact that the NCAA doesn't want to punish the current players for rules broken in the past. At the same time, where was this type of mercy for any other program? I get it's a different time/people in charge but I can think of plenty of other players who were punished for doing nothing wrong.
Signs stolen. Money lost. Games missed.
The NCAA dropped #Michigan’s package today.
