Those are scholarship athletes. They're given a $50,000 education to play football. They're not middle school kids. Those teams are also playing for a spot in the college football playoffs. If Ohio state beats Rutgers by 14 it hurts their chances of making the playoffs. Think about this, if FSU beats Clemson by less than 43 points then Louisville will be the champ of the ACC. It's a different equation and a different mentality. The only reason a team wins by 50+ points in middle school is to stroke a coaches ego.

I was unaware that Meece payed kids $50,000 on scholarship and Ashland payed their players that kind of money (although I was aware of the NCAA players with scholarships).
