Kinda depends. If you have an undefeated FSU, B1G champ, and Washington, then only one of Bama/UGA should get in. If only 2/3 above teams are undefeated, then I can see a 1-loss UGA and 1-loss SEC champ Bama making it.

If Bama wins, I bet they both make the CFP.

This is where I’m at. The inertia of loving college sports will take time to die, but I can tell already that my interest is waning. The Vikings may be cursed, but there’s no real structural obstacles to them being the next NFL dynasty. In the NBA and (especially) MLB, small market teams are at...

I’m there with you. My emotions watching Minnesota teams are about 50% pain, 5% joy/fun, and 45% relief that I’m not feeling pain when they eek out a win. I’m just not going to watch any more games this season. Two embarrassing, inexplicable choke-jobs to conference opponents, one of which just...

For where? What school that can pay him an equivalent salary would want him?

Bert is 10-0 vs. Minnesota. I know that’s through different teams and coaches, but WTF. You can’t convince me that curses don’t exist. This is hilarious because I did the same thing. They went up and I decided to go outside with my young son because I knew we’d either win or they’d massively...

I knew when Wisconsin and Nebraska lost that we’d choke and Iowa would win. Most predictable thing in the world.

You guys are taking this too seriously. If the shoe were on the other foot, we’d all love the pettiness. And a lot of Iowa fans seemed like they were getting ambivalent about the recently one-sided rivalry with us. The hate is clearly rekindled on their end now, which is a big win as far as...

You didn’t see the “awful choke job” reference? Yes, it was damning, but not as damning as we initially thought because NW isn’t nearly as bad as everyone assumed.

We win out (minus Ohio State) and we win the West, right? That won’t be easy, but it’s doable. Let’s be the last team to win the West. Edit: Or do we need Iowa to lose again?

Love to see this!

Fun to remember that Halloween game, one of the few Gopher football bright spots while I was a student.

With today’s win, the Gophers haven’t lost this year to any team under .500. Their 3 losses come to teams with a combined 18-5 record. While that NW loss was still an awful choke job, the fact that we lost isn’t as damning now as we thought then.

College football fandom is way different than pro leagues. I’ll watch Ohio State now because they’re in the same tier and conference that we are. If we move down, why would I care about Ohio State vs. Tennessee? I have no connection to those schools. Now multiply that by a ton of other...

Don’t kink shame, guys.

I only ask the football gods two things if we make a bowl game: (1) someplace south of the mason dixon and (2) not in a baseball stadium.

If we make any bowl game: ok season If we make a bowl game and beat Wisconsin: definite success

Love it. You can tell he wanted this as bad as the fans. He’s a weird cookie, but he’s our weird cookie.

Iowa made a deal with the devil. No other explanation.

I’d love to know what kind of deal Iowa made with the devil because they probably will finish 11-1 or 10-2 with a truly godawful offense. It’s horrifying and fascinating, and a real indictment on the B1G West. But yeah, they aren’t making the playoffs. Michigan/Ohio State/Penn State will make...
