Didn't see this coming!
It is midway through the college football season, and there are some surprises. Vanderbilt is in the top 10, having beaten LSU-- as the betting favorite going into the game. Florida, North Carolina, and Auburn are all winless in their conferences and in last place. Clemson is 3-4 overall. It's a bad time for everyone who picked one of those teams to go all the way to the playoffs.
And in the Big Ten:
-- Indiana is in first place
-- Penn State, Michigan State and Wisconsin are all in last place
at 0-4, and
-- Northwestern is right on the heels of Indiana at 3-1!
I worried that NIL money and the transfer portal would favor the same old blue bloods (ie, Clemson, Florida State, and Auburn), but that does not seem to be happening to the degree that I feared.
