Las Vegas releases its over and under for all 129 FBS teams. UMass gets a 5 win prediction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The NCAA released two rule changes recently. Players will be able to play up to four games and still receive a medical redshirt. That's sensible with the 12 to 13 (with bowls) games most teams now play. In addition, player will no longer have to request their release from their current team in order to transfer.
USA Today has a post on how the transfer and redshirt rules will affect college football.
Sports Illustrated says the new rules are a win for both coaches and players.
The redshirt rule will allow freshmen to play some games and still redshirt. That should help motivation.
ODU Coach Wilder says the rules are a big day for college football. Quote from the story:
"Wilder said he instructed his staff to call the players in his 2018 recruiting class to notify them of the rule change and to deliver a message:
“They’re playing this year,” he said."
