    GH: Big Ten Power Rankings

    Seriously one of the worst rankings I've ever seen. Also, I'm sorry but ranking Michigan ahead of Iowa at this point is just based on reputation IMHO. Iowa is the only team to give Indiana a contest. Michigan just isn't impressive. Do not be surprised if Iowa upsets the Ducks this weekend.

    From The Athletic: Ranking the Big Ten’s 18 head coaching jobs (Minnesota #15)

    The criteria for what makes a head coaching job attractive has changed in recent years and lists like these haven't really caught up to it. It used to be more about institution support, fan support and recruiting base. Now with portal and revenue sharing the recruiting base is far less...

    4 Star OT Aaron Thomas Flips from tOSU to Minnesota!!!

    That timeline of events is very interesting. I also laugh at the Sacremento State offer that was listed in the middle of all these big P4 offers coming in.

    2025 Bowl Projection Tracker

    I believe Vegas picks before Music. But Music picks before Mayo. USC filled the Pac12 legacy role last year. This year it is supposed to be Pac12 vs B1G so I am assuming the Pac team will be one of the former members from BigXII or ACC

    Expectations

    I think it's 1967. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. 1999 we actually went undefeated on the road!

    OT Games

    $50? The premium seats are some of the worst culprits! They're paying over $100 in some cases. But kudos to them for making it home by 6:37 instead of 6:48.

    6-3 including 4-2 in B1G! I got a kick out of Ryan Burns' "Go find joy" rant!

    Good rant but he trashed the lack of talent a bit too much. He made it sound like coaches are squeezing juice from a turnip. Also, much of the angst he's hearing is due to losing by 38 to Iowa. That loss really cost Fleck a lot of goodwill.

    ‘The money does not exist’: Why the buyouts for college football coaches are setting off alarm bells

    No reason to lock yourself to a coach for that kind of money. First AD to figure that out will have a leg up.
