Notre Dame’s 41-13 win over Wisconsin at Lambeau Field averaged 8.1 million viewers across NBC and Peacock on Sunday night, according to NBC Sports. Only two Notre Dame games on NBC have drawn more since the 2005 “Bush Push” game against USC. The two games ahead of it were both far closer. Ohio State’s 2023 visit to Notre Dame Stadium averaged 10.6 million viewers, and the double-overtime game against No. 1 Clemson in 2020 drew 10.4 million. Sunday’s game offered nothing like that.

Last week ATS: 16-9 (4-3 National, 12-6 B1G) Last week was about as good of a start to the season as we could have asked for. About the only things that are sticking with me is trusting Rutgers as a 30-point favorite over UMass last Thursday, along with seeing Ohio State cover late. Had the […]

Not only did five different teams (Ohio State, Oregon, Indiana, Notre Dame and Miami) receive first-place votes, but when all the votes were tallied, No. 1 Ohio State was separated from No. 7 Miami by only 293 points. The gap between No. 7 Miami and No. 8 Texas A&M was 248 points. It turns ou...

Week 1 of the college football season showed me enough to feel at least half decent about my updated rankings.
