REALITY CHECK: JMU Leaves Texas Tech BEHIND—Oregon Showdown RESHAPES Playoff Narratives

JMU fared much better against Oregon in Eugene than Texas Tech did on a neutral field in South Florida, sparking debate on whether Group of Five teams truly belong among college football’s postseason.

Did JMU prove the gap between powerhouse programs and rising underdogs isn’t as wide as Nick Saban claims?

Dave Schultz highlights JMU's gritty road performance in Eugene and breaks down the fallout from Sun Belt and SEC showdowns.

Saban’s comments on tradition and payment ignite hard-hitting analysis of college football’s evolving business model and coaching contracts.

Bold takes fly as Georgia Southern secures its eighth straight win after a controversial overtime finish, while Southern Miss flexes against ULM.

Key moments include player spotlights on Tavarus “Spudd” Webb, Tyron Moore, and Tylik Weeks, plus insight into Georgia Southern’s status as a Sun Belt contender.

Can Sun Belt teams keep shaking up the narrative, or will big money and tradition keep them out of the playoff picture?
