Part 1: An NBA Midseason Power Poll, Plus OSU vs. Notre Dame with Joel Anderson and Van Lathan

Yeah. So that was my number five thing, Matt Sluka going to UNLV. Because first of all, I think it was one of the rare things. It ended up okay for everybody. But for people that don't know, Sluka, he was the quarterback at Holy Cross, transfers to UNLV, plays the first three games. UNLV looks great. I was like, man, UNLV's got a good damn football program. What happened there?

Well, it turns out that he says he... He decides to sit out the rest of the season and take a red shirt because the school didn't follow through on whatever promises they allegedly made about NIL.

They promised him $100,000 and he only got like $1,000, right? And I don't know which the... It's still unclear what the difference is here and why those expectations weren't met. But it's like one of these things where you could project your feelings about the NIL era onto the player in this situation.

And if you like me and you like players getting paid, I didn't mind him withholding his labor until he got what he felt was promised. And if you don't like it, it was about these spoiled and entitled college players prioritizing money over the team. So I thought it was like a really, you know, like a fun story that didn't ultimately hurt anybody because UNLV still was badass. Well, wait, though.

All right. I want to move to number four. So, you know, Nick Saban was actually trying to be honest earlier this year when he said the only place you play in the SEC that's not hard to play is in Vanderbilt. And then it's like not even a month later, Alabama goes to Vanderbilt and loses for the first time since 1984. They got their ass beat. Vanderbilt scored 40 points on them.

They didn't luck into those points. They beat their ass. And it was just hilarious. Because first of all, you also get to see Bama fans go crazy now. They've lived an unprecedented ride for the last 15 to 20 years. And to see their faces and to see how they responded to losing to Vandy in the first year post-saving, it was hilarious. So I had to put that at number four.

And Saban was just like... Anyway, number three. Number three. So if you are like me, since I followed college football, the idea of Arizona State football has always been like, man... Arizona, why isn't Arizona State any good? You know, they've got all that. They're in a fast growing area. They got a lot of sun. It's like a school like academics ain't going to be in the problem.
