I'd anticipate that a few players leave the team but do not enter the portal. Stay at Minnesota to attend classes and get educated. Stay involved with the team in someway like as a manager. if the the roster size increases for 2026, they could reclaim a roster spot then.
I voted 9-3. I think that we could catch either Oregon or OSU in a close game at their place. Pendulum will swing down for at least one of those teams next season and would be a great opportunity for a huge win. Win 2/3 of the trophy games looks very possible.
Hard to say if Gameday would come back to dinkytown. Indiana v Ohio state and the Pac-2 championship is also the same day. Both are storylines that could merit a Gameday visit.
It would be more likely to get Big Noon Kickoff for the Penn State game. Fox's show will be scheduled for Columbus 3...
