NIL and the portal have leveled the playing field to such a degree that scanning the full day's matchups at 8 am, nothing jumps out as a marquee game any longer. Traditional powers are weakened, nobodies are beating somebodies regularly. Sounds good theoretically but in practice, idk. Somebody v somebody often turns out to be a lousy game. GA v 'Bama no longer has the cachet it had a few years ago. It's more like roulette. Strange times. Has to be driving the tv people nuts.

You must not have seen Illinois' game (Homer) or at least the Indiana-Nebraska game.

Among other frustrations, Illinois can’t get the schedule luck down.

All of a sudden Purdue is competent, UW happens to be a mess this year. UCLA all of a sudden is great, but terrible last year.

We get OSU in back to back years, but don’t get Michigan for either those years.

Probably sour grapes.

You could also say the Illini are getting Oregon in a down year at home. Too bad Illinois is in a down year too.
