As we hit the midpoint of the 2024 college football season, Week 8 brings a slate of matchups that could have significant implications for conference standings and playoff aspirations. This week, we turn our attention to three games that showcase the depth and competitiveness in college football.
There are two sides to the debate over whether NIL and the transfer portal have helped or hurt the middle class of college football teams.

Partway through his opening statement during a regularly scheduled Monday news conference, Penn State head coach James Franklin made a comment that caught the attention of a local reporter. Franklin, whose team defeated then-No. 19 Illinois at home over the weekend, had already run through the latest injury updates and a statistical recap of the win when the tone seemed to shift, albeit only slightly.
