Indiana did bring in a good transfer qb from Cal, which might actually help us since we play Cal but not Indiana (at least for this year).

I’d say that’s typically the case, but you do get some that stick around like Candle currently at Toledo. One thing with George is it’s not like his Alma Mater is opening any time soon, and I wouldn’t think he’d be chasing money but who knows. I do think being a former big name player gives...

I think the dline will still be pretty good. And it’s more of a front 6 look most of the time. I’m glad they added Roberson for experience at LB, so I think there is adequate experience and talent, but I get the concerns. I think Maverick would be the one with potential to become an all...

Weird their coach left for that position.

And what are you arguing? That Prime does recruit well? Using Fleck as your example? Ok Heather.

Never argued Fleck was an amazing recruiter for one. And having it happen to one of ten classes is a little different than having it happen to your only class. Also your info isn’t even accurate. Bixby medically retired, Schwartz just transferred out after two years, not one. Knuth was the...

Not gonna happen unless the small conference up there NIL game. Money is more important than winning.

You tell us.

I don’t think anyone would really be that surprised if someone had said these guys would all get draft attention back in August. It was the rest of the team that was the question mark, and frankly some of the worries in the preseason did end up hurting us. Predominantly inconsistent oline play...

They definitely aren’t churning out major talent like they used to. Went from multiple P4 type guys a year to not really having one in like a decade. Cornell was the last one I can think of.

https://www.bcftoys.com/fcs/. This shows the increase of teams scheduling fcs teams. Also this is despite some teams going from four non conf to three. On a side note, I think teams would be silly to not follow the Indiana model. Seems the way to go for everyone who isn’t an established power.

I guess there are still a good number, but far less than you saw 20 years ago. Lots of teams are now scheduling all patsies or at most one p4 team. It wasn’t rare to see blue bloods schedule two other strong teams in the past and was more rare to see fcs teams being scheduled.

The non conf sos doesn’t matter for B1G and SEC teams because the conf schedule is already strong. Losing a non conf game is far more detrimental as they likely don’t need an sos boost to make the playoff with 1 or two conference losses. There is a reason we don’t see primo non conf matchups...

But sos didn’t really matter as far as making the playoffs. Yes their was some talk as far as the last team in, but that was it, and the stronger sos didn’t win out.
