Bundy thinks QB was the problem. Don't quit your day job.

^ The first round bye for top 8 while the bottom 16 play is tacit admission nobody really expects or respects those teams as championship material (despite 2025 Miami’s late season resurrection). The sole reasons are revenue $ and probably more importantly for PE salesperson Pettiti the...

Why does the big ten want 24? Let’s start there. Once that’s clear encourage/let/force Pettiti to spend more time with family.

Well, the transfer rankings, preseason rankings, betting odds etc all painted a picture and that picture was that Indiana was projected as an 8-9 win fringe top 25 team rather than 16-0 national champions. They still had doubters and haters going into the Miami game! So hearing they were...

It’s a shame. A damn shame.

We assign the talent rankings after the season now.

BYU played in the WAC and defeated a 6-6 Michigan in their bowl game and were awarded a national title. Auburn had won a national championship 6 years earlier; I don’t think anyone would call them a historic turnaround. Given the way championships were assigned prior to the playoff era it’s...

You’re arguing everyone knew this, which is objectively incorrect. Even now nobody would argue they have a top tier roster in terms of pure talent. They were well coached and executed better than anyone else along with having some good NFL talent. The coaches ranked Indiana 22nd in the 2025...

Nobody was saying Indiana had a top tier roster going into 2024 and not many predicted their 2025 run and definitely not because they bought an extremely talented roster. Their top draft picks outside of Mendoza are majority JMU transfers. I’d say most expected Indiana to return to earth, not...

Going forward all contracts shall have irreparable harm as a standard. You think you can cancel this hotel reservation? Oh no you didn’t ☝️. See that? Page 37 of your user agreement? Irreparable harm. I cannot possibly define my economic losses in any other fashion. Will totally stand up...

The greatest turnaround in sport history. Not at all obvious until they started blowing teams off the field. See below. I can post the recruiting rankings forever, every day, if necessary. No we can’t. Talent the JMU and Indiana coaches identified and developed The talent: Indiana...

The next time a team without a load of top end talent goes 16-0 and wins the natty we can rip on Indiana. Texas Tech OTOH did bring in highly rated players, top 3 or 5 in the nation IIRC and struggled some in the Big 12 before getting demolished in the tournament.

You heavily implied Indiana bought their team? Maybe I’m misinterpreting the point of the post: “Kinda disagree here. Didn't the Florida Marlins pretty much buy their world series team? Granted, they gave up after one and went back to awful, but it's the same kinda turnaround. Valvano and the...

Not the case. The transfer class ratings were in the mid 20s or worse. High school classes were rated much worse than that.
