The voters likely didn’t analyze the schedules. The voters have the gophers picked higher than 5 of their big ten opponents. Another team on the schedule is picked 10. So if the gophers beat all the teams their picked higher than + one upset of 10th place Washington, that’s a 6-3 season This...

Gardner Webb because I have a personal connection

6.8 wins and 4.4 wins in the big ten essentially means SP+ thinks the gophers are 4/10 to beat cal I would take the over

Agree Way easier to play WR/CB than S/RB

To take power away from the cabal that is the committee Why is a team ranked 16 instead of 17? I would be fine with all at large bids if it was a formula based system

A real definition would probably be municipality by municipality and if your local area has a certain percentage of people who work in Minneapolis or St. Paul or Bloomington you are a suburb and below that percentage you aren’t. Not sure what that percentage is So a Northfield probably isn’t...

I was a huge proponent of 12 because I thought there would be 7 autobids. Power 5 plus 2 G5 champs. If I had known it’d be 5, they should’ve done 8 team playoff. Needs to be more automatic ways in than subjective ways in. So if they go 16 I hope at least 9 of the bids are preconceived I...

Maybe I should’ve read the article I only read the OP

If you said everything on or south of 95 is metro that would make St. Cloud metro

I would contend the “metro” is everything on or north of 19 Everything on or east of 169 south of the Mn River Everything on or east of 25 north of the Mn River The north metro border a lot harder to place

It’s an interesting question defining metro in terms of time or mileage? They aren’t as good as big as STMA and maybe not as far away but are the following schools metro or non metro: Buffalo Waconia Hastings Northfield New Prague Becker North Branch

Agree with this. This also would make thanksgiving weekend conference championship weekend. Not sure if that would help or not. But I agree this is the way and posted in another thread. A great 16 team playoff would be an objective formula picks the top 25 All conference champions in that...

That’s true But the way I read it those were all the postseason ranks. I may have read it wrong

Absolutely wild that the 2019 final ranking was 25? Am I reading that right?

Spot on. I have no issue with expansion of the tourney. I have issue with the expansion of at large bids.

Even with that they probably have the longest average distance traveled + toughest schedule Bad combo

Just my thought is not making the CWS as a big ten team isn’t unique to MN One team has made the final since like 1970 The original big 10 (11) have made CWS appearances: Indiana - 1 - 2013 Iowa - 1 - 1972 Michigan - 8 - most recent 2019 (and the only team to make the final) Michigan State -...

I don’t envy STMA’s placement

I think people who say that overrate big ten baseball before the recent additions

As much as gopher fans like to criticize fleck for dropping stinkers, BB has too 2024 possible playoff birth if they beat MN 2023 7 losses including 4-8 Purdue, 5-7 Nebraska, 6-6 Wisconsin 2022 win the west if they beat Purdue OR 4-8 Indiana + 5-7 Michigan state 2021 missed a bowl by losing...
