Not too much to quibble about the top IMO, but I’d put Minnesota and Illinois in their own tier and move down NW and Purdue as others have noted. Both face serious recruiting challenges and have small dedicated fan bases. BTW, Indiana would’ve likely been in the Minnesota/Illinois tier if it...

Combination of factors, right? Yes, there’s talent on the DL. Smith is clearly an NFL talent. I think Eastern will get there. Mentz is developing more quickly than anticipated. Gophers have caught some good match ups in a depleted MSU OL and a Nebraska OL missing a starter and losing another...

There's not supposed to be "picking" anymore since the B1G works with bowls to appropriately "place" teams based on fairly opaque criteria like record, match-ups, and recent appearances. There are certainly tiers of bowls and perceived prestige based on payout and conference affiliation of course.

I’m sure Google will give you a good answer, but I watched most of their game. The backup was a redshirt Frosh, I believe. Sleight build, looked very uncomfortable, REALLY wanted to run it (and did). Wasn’t afraid to push it down the field a couple times with 1:1 matchups but didn’t complete...

These final weeks of the B1G season are going to be fascinating. Oregon still plays Iowa, USC, and Washington. Not likely, but they could pick up 2 more losses and get knocked out of the playoff picture. Iowa and USC still play each other, so one of them could could easily get INTO the playoff...

Harbaugh could absolutely be doing better, but I give him kudos for modernizing the O at least a little the past couple years. That said, he’s clearly an average offensive mind, and not one to elevate poor talent… …and on that note, there’s a LOT of poor talent on this offense — and that is, by...

Could easily be 3-6…but they’re not :cool:

Agreed. I can understand not overturning the first down, but to not even move the ball and remeasure was mind-boggling. The WR clearly didn’t possess the ball until he was down around the 26 (and I actually think he was short of the 26), and yet they kept the spot at the 25. Crazy.

Thanks, I remember seeing that post but had forgotten the outcome. Super helpful. I’m definitely not paying $100+ to watch a game on a cold November day in a baseball stadium I’ve been to multiple times for the sport it was intended to hold. I’d be driving, so I’ll just keep monitoring and...

I’ll be there! Resale prices are still kinda silly, so I’m holding out. I don’t expect them to get to $8 like they frequently would at Ryan Field, but hopefully a reasonable range.

100% this. I wouldn’t even stress getting the QB to the ground this week. Pressure him enough to get the ball out of his hand in the pocket. The goal is to get him to throw it as much as possible.

If any of you are looking to get me a Christmas present, I’ll take that jacket in a 39L. Thanks.

Draftkings has Iowa -8.5 right now. Jumped on the MN cover along with: Oregon -34.5 vs. Wisconsin Alabama -13.5 @ SC BYU +2.5 @ ISU Vandy -3 vs. Missouri NW +7.5 @ Neb (I wouldn’t be surprised if NW wins)
