Hard to rank it any other way given the results of the actual games played - we lost, the teams ranked ahead of us didn't. Until the middling teams (MSU, Maryland, Washington, Rutgers, etc) start to play competitive teams and lose, we are right where we deserve to be. That said, the ACC is hot...

The long-game by the college administrators is having a 16 week regular season. Having large conferences makes scheduling 16 games much easier. With players getting paid now, all the excuses about 'need time to study' and 'too hard on their bodies' is out the window.

The big problem is that we know PJ's game plan going into the game - play ultra-conservative and try not to get blown out. I highly doubt we will be playing for an actual win - we just want to lose this with dignity. The danger in getting blown out is that this season could start to spiral...

Fielding a punt inside your 10 yard line is a mental error - the muff was a kid trying too hard to do something to spark the team. The coaches are putting too much on this guy. I think we can guess the way the rest of this season will play out - BUT - I think if Koi and Lindsey can stick...

I know there are guys that have been fans way longer than me - I didn't follow the Gophers until I went here for undergrad. But this is what I have learned in my 30 years of fandom: I think the key to happiness is accepting the fact that PJ is not God's gift to coaching BUT things could be way...

Not good news. Now we will have the SEC fans putting both A&M and Vandy in the top 5.

3 defenders and not a single one playing the ball...

Bad timing to pull that play call. Finally having some success running - and then that.

Wisconsin now reminds me of Minnesota when they hired Brewster. They basically built around the run which enabled them to recruit RB and Oline. Now, they have zero identity. Same as Brewster's offense changing the one thing Mason did really, really well - run the ball. I think WI is in Never...

The team just looks sloppy and low energy today. Buffalo is barely a top 100 team and they get the ball back midway through the 2nd half looking to take the lead. Receivers are not helping out the QB at all - way too many drops. The good news is if they just clean up some of the sloppiness...

If anyone actually thought that would be the case for the better - Fleck would be at OSU right now.

Showing profits for "Athletic Departments" vs. by sport makes this article just about worthless for me. What I would like to know is: what are the football programs generating for profits to see if the current NIL system and expanding budgets for football sustainable. What I suspect is that...

Given where college football is now, it is almost laughable that the conference is going to make a decision on an AAU purity test. It is all about the money. The only question that will matter is: "Can you increase the media rights money by including them?"

I wrote this before - but I think there was probably greater interest in the pre-playoff consolidation bowls as this forms opinion for what will happen in the playoffs by assessing the relative strength of schedule. After the playoffs start, this reason goes away. For in person bowl games, I...

I am from Wisconsin - so, I never had any hate for Iowa. In fact, I used to like watching them on TV. You will also notice that Wisconsin is not on my cheering list. I am sure this has been posted before by others, but I grew up in Green Bay in the 80/90's. I can say pre-Alvarez, nobody in...
