🏈 Bring On College Football Chaos

Expanding the CFP would make for even more reason to tune in every Saturday. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: A big meeting on Friday could determine whether we’ll see a College Football Playoff expansion, which would be welcomed chaos ... a look the litany of issues facing the Seahawks after they passed up Russell Wilson’s big price tag ... and more! When college football begins in earnest this weekend, the games will still be played over four quarters, the referees will still be clad in zebra uniforms and Saturday will still be the main day to park your behind on the couch. As for everything else? It might just have changed, or be about to change, or have become subject to future change. OK, that’s a slight exaggeration, but there is no disguising that this has been a head-spinning period of flurried activity for the college game with a pair of primary effects. For one, no one knows what is going to happen next, and any projections as to how an already chaotic landscape may look a few years from now are, by default, nothing more than guesswork. The other is that interest, even before the delightful excessiveness begins, is off the charts — proving that all the shifts have done an unwittingly spectacular job of stirring up excitement. Over Labor Day weekend there will be 83 games featuring FBS teams. Tonight, FOX will broadcast Penn State’s visit to Purdue at 8 p.m. ET. Things might be different, but the passion for college football remains undimmed, at big schools, small schools, big cities, tiny towns, and everywhere else.

[BET OF THE DAY] [BET OF THE DAY] Odds provided by [FOX Bet]( Wisconsin (-33) vs. Illinois State FOX Sports Betting Analyst Geoff Schwartz: I’m going with the Badgers here as they will control the line of scrimmage all game long. Look for them to tack on late touchdowns to cover the 33-point spread. Wisconsin has the most unheralded running back in the country with Braelon Allen. As a 17-year-old true freshman, he rushed for 1,286 yards on 186 carries, good for a whopping 6.8 yards per attempt. Wisconsin’s defense finished last season ranked second in efficiency, which means Illinois State won’t be able to move the ball at all this game. The Badgers are more talented and much bigger in the trenches and will run away with this game. For the latest betting odds, [click here](.
