    2025 high school football thread

    This is likely an issue in both the smallest 11 man class and the 9 man class. Depends on how many teams but: Sections will be more than 6. So a section of 8 will have 7 games vs section and one self scheduled A section of 7 will be paired with another section of 7. Every team will play 8...

    Conference Realignment Updates

    I would think a final big ten expansion attempts to get 24 or 28 (nice numbers for scheduling) That means 6 or 10 teams join: The Prime candidates (not all realistic) Utah Arizona State Colorado Texas A&M Notre dame Virginia North Carolina Georgia Tech Missouri Fallback team(s) to...

    2025 high school football thread

    I have a secret plan to fix it all. And it involves 48 teams per class. 6 teams per section. Your schedule is 5 in your section and self schedule 3 games. You can play a team from another class if 4 teams agree to play from another class to make the classes “whole” 4/6 teams make a 32 team...

    Reusse: Timberwolves owners’ plan for development around a new arena seems like a very suburban idea

    Doing that for two lanes wouldn’t make a difference anyways. Even if it were two it would go from 5-3 to for through the tunnel anyways instead of 4-3 What they really needed to do is go Chicago skyway on it and have you go over loring park and drop onto 94 on the other side of the tunnel

    CBS: Big Ten coach rankings 2025 (8. PJ Fleck, Minnesota, up 3 spots from last season)

    I think anything from 6 to about 12 is reasonable for fleck 5 or higher he is not And there are some coaches I simply can’t see anyone putting above him

    Curt Cignetti on IU’s notably soft non conference slate: “We figured we’d adopt the SEC scheduling model.”

    i also like play in type weekend because it brings back the possibility of “co champions” which makes a conference title so much more likely for people

    College football program valuations: Ranking every Power 4 team by how much they’d sell for

    It’s an interesting exercise but even in the era of NIL disconnecting these teams from the university and putting control of all their branding and marketing in the hands of a franchise owner would probably cut the value a great deal.

    Curt Cignetti on IU’s notably soft non conference slate: “We figured we’d adopt the SEC scheduling model.”

    I genuinely disagree with what the playoff is all about too. Some people think it should be the “best” teams. But this is subjective. I think it should be about finding out who “The Best” is. Which would mean if you already know someone isn’t the best you error on leaving them out. Teams with...

    CBS: Big Ten coach rankings 2025 (8. PJ Fleck, Minnesota, up 3 spots from last season)

    Big ten has a lot of good coaches There might be 13-15 who would be consistent national title contenders if they were the coach of Ohio State Wisconsin has the coach who had the worst season in Ohio state history 😂

    Curt Cignetti on IU’s notably soft non conference slate: “We figured we’d adopt the SEC scheduling model.”

    The big ten getting 4 auto bids is probably what is required for the big ten to move to a 10th conference game

    Which team did media pick to win the conference in the 15th annual cleveland.com Preseason Big Ten Football Poll? (11. Minnesota)

    the internet is once again underwhelmed with the prospect of the upcoming Gopher football season.

    7-5 (5-4) probably considered a solid but not great season 8-4 (5-4) 8-4 (6-3) decent 9-3 (6-3) 9-3 (7-2) good but disappointing it wasn’t 10 wins 10+ wins elite 6-6 or worse, disappointing
