According to CBS Sports, the buyout on PSUs side is $58 million. The buyout on Franklin's side is $1.00. As in, one-dollar. If I was a coach, I would be looking to hire Franklin's agent right now.

IU definitely deserves it the #3 spot. I'm pleasantly surprised that we only fell to #8.

Franklin to Oregon State?

Rumors out there are saying Franklin is heading west to Oregon State. 😆😅 This comment is based upon totally, unsubstantiated, absolutely anonymous, sources. 😉

The buyout on Franklin's side was $1. PSU is totally eating this entire enchilada.

Yikes... barely two weeks ago Franklin had the #2 team in the nation. And now, Franklin's former team thinks he stinks so badly that they were willing to drop about $60 million just to get rid of him. It tells me how massive the amount of money is that comes through college football, and what a wonderful merit-based system sports are.

My bet is that the game will mentally start slowing slowing down for Moore and that very soon, he will begin picking blitzing defenses apart. He's just too bright and athletic for that not to happen. I'm betting that within a couple weeks, he will begin feasting on the blitz.

The cost to replace Franklin right now is $56 Million Dollars. After the season is over it would be $48 Million. That's a load of scratch to fundraise in order to dump a guy. I would imagine that the PSU fans who want him gone are hoping/wishing/praying that he finds another gig on his own --- which seems like a long shot to me.

Oh well... at least we're not Penn Srate.

It's starting to look like Montana State is our best win of the year so far.

IU is an excellent team, but we look beyond unimpressive in the first half.

.

Against PSU, we only converted on 33% of our 3rd downs. We had to rely on 4th down attempts/conversions going 5 for 7... which is living dangerously. So far today, we've converted on 29% of our 3rd downs. This needs to change.

We've stopped ourselves on 2 drives due to mistakes.

Go Cougs!

My favorite uniform combination are the ones that 18 & 19 year old studs like.

Or at least a single national championship sometime during the last century or so. However, I think it is highly likely that we will soon win a national championship.

I can't remember that last time that I've seen a team drop from #2 to #28 inside of 9 days.

Thanks for nothing, Penn State 😉.

Well... while it was a huge win for UCLA, being 1-4 might be part of it.

Wowzaa... Two Top-10 teams fall to two unranked teams today who, up until this afternoon, had combined records of 1-7. That's just nuts. I never would have thought that NIL would help make college football so much fun, and often, highly unpredictable. If a team chooses to take another team lightly, they do so at their own peril.

Great question. Time for the stats guys to go digging for that answer. PSU losing to UCLA makes our game against Indiana next week even bigger than it already was.

A total crap 0-4 UCLA knocks off PSU. Bummer... I was really hoping that PSU didn't suck. Either that, or the Ducks just completely broke them. Hopefully, it's the latter.

Wow... this kid looks extremely promising!
