Urban Meyer admits he ‘misfired’ about impact of NIL, transfer portal on college football

Urban Meyer told Colin Cowherd on The Herd that his earlier expectation—that the wealthier programs would pull further ahead once name‑image‑likeness deals and the transfer portal arrived—proved wrong. He said the new rules have actually boosted parity, noting that the gap between powerhouses and smaller schools has narrowed.

The latest AP Top 25 reflected that shift, with five of the seven teams that were in the top seven the week before losing, including No. 1 Georgia and No.

2 Notre Dame. Georgia’s unbeaten run ended when Auburn won on a walk‑off field goal at Sanford Stadium, while BYU beat Notre Dame in Provo, snapping the Fighting Irish’s 16‑game streak.

Indiana also fell to Ohio State, ending the defending champion’s season early.
