Buckeyes take out Grambling 70 - 0. Why do teams like Ohio State play teams like Grambling? Who decides this?..... and why?

They pay the opposing team huge sums of money for the loss. OSU and many other teams like to pad the stats before the conference games begin. The losing team gets experience and cameras on them at the national level. Sometimes the underdog wins and it's a big deal. Last year it was Northern Illinois University beating Notre Dame. Biggest win in their football history. Who decides? It's a deal between the schools.

Seems to me that it just taints the winning team. I know most every top tier team does this. What I want to know is who clears these match ups early in the season. I doubt the schools make their own scheduals, so.... who does make the scheduals.... and why do they give the top teams powder puff games in the start of the season? I was shocked when Ohio State played a contender the first game of the season. That needs to be the norm, not the outlier.

A lot of these early games are scheduled 2 or 3 years in advanced.

For non-conference regular season games, FBS teams are free to schedule matchups against any other FBS team, regardless of conference. A small number of FBS teams are independent and have total control over their own schedule.

Most games are scheduled years in advance. Sometimes it's home and away with the same team for a series or more. Some teams play each other every year. It's all about the underdog team wanting/needing the money they get from playing the game. Once in a while the highly touted, looking for easy stats team gets completely embarrassed. Like the time Michigan got beat by Appalachian State in 2019. Not a good way to start the season. It's kind of like the NFL pre-season games, except the starters play and the Ws and Ls count. Some teams (cough, cough Michigan, OSU, Alabama and more) play ridiculously easy non-conference schedules. They get criticized for it, but no one does anything about it. It is what it is.

Smaller schools need these games in order to fund their athletic departments.

It still sucks and these games are no fun to watch. I turned the Husker game off at halftime because of the blowout.

You can't make this shit up. LMFAO....

Losers and frauds all.

The New England Patriots are reportedly taking measures to retaliate against North Carolina head coach Bill Belichick's decision to ban their team's scouts from practices in Chapel Hill.

Per Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Patriots requested a staffer remove a North Carolina shirt. However, New England has refrained from involving starting quarterback Drake Maye in the drama.

"A source close to Belichick, meanwhile, was told that a Patriots staffer was informed in New England’s weight room he should remove his UNC shirt," Russini wrote. "But a Patriots source pointed out that starting quarterback Drake Maye — who went to North Carolina — often wears UNC gear around the facility with zero issues."

Lots of good college games to watch with fair competition.

Read a couple articles about Belichick. Apparently a vengeful, petty man.
