SEC Network's Jordan Rodgers: The B1G is better than the SEC. Personally, I think it's close and varies program by program. But one thing that needs to be addressed is the voters, including the PO Committee's top-to-bottom love of the SEC conference. The six Big Ten teams that did not win six games in 2025 were not good football teams. The six SEC teams that did not win six games in 2025 were not good football teams. Consistently top 25-ranked Tennessee and Missouri did not defeat a P4 team that finished with a winning record. Highly touted A&M did not defeat an SEC opponent that finished with a winning record. That OBD could and in some quarters should have been out of the PO with a second Big Ten loss was frustrating and absurd. The on-field results this season IMO, support Tony Petitti's automatic qualifier PO format.

For those who believe Williams' conduct is righteous. Every FBS coaching contract has a liquidated damages clause, and they are uniformly honored and enforced. The agreement Williams signed included a waiver of his right to transfer. I imagine UW and his agent did not expect Williams to dishonor his agreement. Liquidated damages are likely to be included in the new template and will be enforced. Damages? If someone on behalf of LSU improperly contacted Williams, Interference with a Contract should be very easy to prove. NIL deals in support of this poaching would be revealed in discovery, and ipso facto damages will accompany the disclosures. There is a much larger issue. If the Big Ten-approved revenue share agreements are not enforceable, chaos becomes catastrophic chaos. QB hurt during the season, just go buy one from a competitor. To hell with any revenue-sharing agreement the injury-free QB may have with his existing team. To hell with the QB having any responsibility to his teammates. To hell with any concern for the integrity of the game. For goodness' sakes! Williams isn't trying to get out of a deal for a stipend, room, board, and tuition. Williams and his advisers, one of whom has quit in disgust and to avoid financial damages and damage to the Wasserman Group's reputation, agreed to a deal estimated to be between $3 and $4 million dollars. If this BS falls in the lap of LSU and Kiffin, I see the workings of fate and pefect karma.

Without the inclusion of Mike West's prediction, this is Quacked Up! 🙃 https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2026/01/08/oregon-football-indiana-hoosiers-national-expert-predictions-cfp/88069239007/?utm_source=smg-duckswire-strada&utm_medium=

As I posted on the initial thread regarding Williams' attempted transfer, and as reported by On3, Williams' agent has dropped him as a client. If Williams disregarded his commitment as a result of being contacted by Kiffin and LSU, UW, the B1G, and the NCAA at Tony Petitti's request, if the organization does not have the guts to do so directly, should all go after Kiffin and 'pariah program' LSU for impermissible contact and interference with a contract. The SEC should also go after Kiffin and LSU, but good luck with that. In this case only, I will be rooting for UW. The House settlement was flawed from the start. Many of the entities backing the settlement had no interest in abiding by the terms of the settlement. Many NIL agreements are not being submitted for review and the review entity has no right of enforcement. The idea that revenue sharing would be the ceiling for payment to athletes without viable enforcement in place was absurd. Williams' agent, who resigned, is employed by the Wasserman Group. Founder Casey Wasserman is one of UCLA's biggest boosters and understandably wants nothing to do with this chicanery.
