Sawyer Robertson is the best quarterback in college football that no one is talking about. He leads a Baylor offense that found its rhythm as the 2024 season progressed, and now he has a chance to contend for a CFP spot in a wide-open Big 12. I like Robertson and the Bears to make a Week 1 statement and win outright.. The pick: Baylor +2.5.

The comments come after an Aug. 25 report by Front Office Sports stated that Ohio State was barring Portnoy, a Michigan alumnus, from its stadium for the Texas game. While Portnoy would still participate in the Big Noon Kickoff show, Front Office Sports reported, he would not be in the stadium for the end of the show that leads right into kickoff.

After Ohio State said the decision not to have Dave Portnoy on set inside Ohio Stadium was a Fox decision, the Barstool founder pushed back on that narrative.
