I basically only follow a few SEC teams...Bama and LSU mostly or my alma mater Ole Miss if they have an interesting QB and on the pro side Saints, Packers, Giants..obvious reason, and the Cowboys football wise

The behavior of the players has turned me off since the 60s and 70s of my youth when black players had a lot more dignity and were worthy of hero worship...like Too Tall or Drew or Mean Joe etc..some white players have slid a bit but nothing in comparison

anyhow...I know Ohio State is on serious probation and not considered but is it your opinion they have the best team

I have not examined their schedule.

Thanks

I was turned off when Billy 'White shoes' Johnson was allowed to do his antics in the end zone, way back when for the Houston, Oilers.

I've just now begun to rekindle (a little) interest in college football. Still no (low class) professional sports though.

One of my disappointments of the 70s was the Oakland Raiders. I loved Kenny Stabler, looked at him as Hugh Hefner in shoulder pads. But such greats as Lyle Alzado and John Matuszak’s careers and lives ruined for steroids and little fun was such a waste,.
