Did anyone feel like the SMU game...

May have been rigged?

Don't get me wrong, not that they should have won, but that QB threw two pick 6s after driving down getting ready to score.... Threw them straight to the guys on the other team, and then didn't try to tackle the dude to stop him from scoring... Seemed fishy to me.

Making sure the spread works out in someone's favor maybe... Just weird

I believe the NCAA "favors" certain teams that they know will draw more $$ in ratings etc.The name of the game in any sport is $$.

I will admit it crossed my mind at first. Didn't think it was thrown but it did get me thinking. Then I thought with opt outs and the likes becoming normal, is it possible we see guys eventually being paid by others not to play. Truth is it doesn't seem like we are that far away from it.

Not at all. Watching that game felt like watching Penn State play a team from a mid-major conference - which is basically what the ACC was this year.

I wasn't overly impressed by either team - Jennings looked like he was on the PSU payroll and PSU really couldn't do a whole lot against the SMU D until they started wearing down.

Still don't know who's good... except when the UGA team that came back against Bama and pouned Texas shows up... but they seem to be MIA more than not.

Anytime you have gambling involved you have doubts.
There is no such thing as truthful gambling.

Especially when you have the network that broadcasts the majority of the games having their own betting platform.

Just waiting for the day someone dishes some dirt... and then I'll start keeping an eye out for their obituary.
