Too many distractions(suspensions) + playing neutral site?

BTW, Speight is gawd awful too.

Picked U of M going 9-3, now think they'll lose 4-5.

Unless Texas is really that bad, @ Maryland might be 1 of those additional losses.

With all these guys opting out early to go to the $$$NFL...college football is going to have a parity problem(unless one considers a lot of mediocre teams, parity). While SEC teams may be able to re-load every year, other conferences may not be so lucky...there just isn't that much talent to go around, add that to this drumbeat of football being a "dangerous" sport for youngsters...NCAA may find themselves with a decreasingly entertaining product on the field(like the NFL).

Still, in this era of bad movies and television...they'll still get the eyeballs to justify million dollar contracts and billion dollar stadiums.

Well considering UM had a bunch of new starters, I expected them to not be all that good going into the game, and that’s why I figured we had a chance. But I expect them to improve as the season goes on.

Meanwhile, UF continues to regress.
