Agree with those who have debunked the FPI. So ignoring the FPI ranking itself .... eventually Nebraska being ranked high preseason is going to be right. Rhule had a steep upward trajectory at Temple and Baylor. Not as steep at Neb, but it has still been upward: 5-7 (3-6) No Bowl 6-6 (3-6) Won...

I think you need to get some help to deal with this bizarre fetish you seem to have where you need me to be this other person that you loathe. It’s not healthy, my friend

Will depend on if the Big Ten can increase its TV payout per school in a significant way.

Incorrect. Some guy hypothesized about a team that was I-AA/FCS, decided to move up to I-A/FBS (because they thought they'd be good for a couple years), and then quickly move right back down to I-AA/FCS. That's what his words said. That's what I was responding to. I'm not aware of that...

Bosnia is almost a can't lose. Then what about Belgum? Top of their group, but it was two draws (Iran and Egypt) and a win against the bottom team (New Zealand) After that, making it to the Elite Eight is huge in of itself, but we would likely face Spain or Portugal?

Being even a long time season ticket holder doesn't earn you the right to be a dink

By the way, if you want the actual source article, here it is: https://www.thedailygopher.com/minnesota-football/40435/entering-year-10-of-pj-fleck-what-have-a-we-loved-or-hated It got aggregated by Yahoo Sports, but they did not write it. Both sites list the author as "GopherNation"...

Also, the "life program", the "culture". :rolleyes: I don't want guys breaking the law, I don't want guys getting into trouble, and I want guys getting degrees, sure ... but just about every other program does that without all the mumbo jumbo jargon.

So many seasons that are disappointing in the sense of they could have been significantly better than they ended up, because of the PJ Fleck special: he loses at least one game a year (sometimes two) that he should have won. And when you're a program like the Gophers on a razor thin margin of...

What will change considerably is that NDSU will now be on TV in the Twin Cities. Lot of games on The CW, couple on CBS Sports Network (cable), and two games on bigger cable networks, one each on ESPN and FS1. Lot of later timeslots (9pm +), is also part of the reason. Before, I don't ever...

They just signed a new Grant of Rights. None of the new MWC teams are going anywhere any time soon. Unless the conference disbands, that would be the only way. NDSU road games are Air Force, UNLV, New Mexico, and Hawaii , in addition to non-conf games at Sac State and San Jose State. Based on...

I get the intent to prevent the Big Ten and SEC from plucking away more teams and/or forming a super league. I agree with preventing that. But if the section language can prohibit those high-earning conferences from merging with each other .... then there is no good reason they can't specify...

Over half the teams in FBS, at least, don't fund their programs at a level to be anywhere near competitive enough to compete to even make it into the CFP, let alone win it. The division seems fine. In fact, teams still want to move up into it

Lack of exercise might have something to do with it

Iran has bigger problems to deal with
