2019 doesn't happen without PJ recruits and guys he brought in as transfers. Yes, that core local MN group that stuck around gets the headlines and rightfully so but you're leaving out huge parts of that story.

In 2026 you can have more variance than 2019 and incorporating West coast trips, even if it's at a bad UCLA (who won't be bad this year and are bound to improve) are entirely new variables. Agree to disagree, I think 11 wins in the B1G is harder...
