    A rivalry with the Washington Huskies?

    Was a really important game in college football history Before that, the national title was awarded at end of regular season and bowl games were exhibitions. After the game what the post season in college football was really changed.

    UCF coach Scott Frost on what he learned from Nebraska: "Don't take the wrong job."

    Well he could be alluding to it was easier for him to make the right choices when he had more anonymity in Orlando than when he was back home as a local celebrity He didn’t say Nebraska was a bad job. He said it was the wrong job for him

    UCF coach Scott Frost on what he learned from Nebraska: "Don't take the wrong job."

    Yes on both counts Problem is, Nebraska is a medium fish in a big pond Frost won at UCF as a medium fish in a small pond. You don’t necessarily win with the same style and strategy in those two situations. Now UCF is a medium fish in a medium pond. So I’ll be curious how he does. My...

    Phil Steele releases preseason poll, ranking all college football teams, 1 to 136

    6 teams between 31 and 45 seems about right. The team that wins the close games will rack up wins and finish top 20. I think he has Michigan, indiana, UCLA, Wisconsin, Michigan State, and northwestern overrated. Michigan should be where Wisconsin is. Wisconsin should be one spot ahead of...

    Fleck's Good Wins at Minnesota

    If you had two divisions: Ohio state Nebraska Purdue Indiana Northwestern Rutgers Illinois Minnesota Nebraska Penn state Michigan Iowa Michigan State Wisconsin There is no doubt the bottom division is better and there is no doubt the top division would’ve won like 80% of the conference titles...

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

    Washington being noted a “perennially good program” bothers me since 2005 they have 5 non bowl seasons below .500 Since 2005 the gophers have 4 non bowl seasons below .500 Since 1999 the gophers have 13 seasons of 7 or more wins Washington has 16 seasons of 7 or more Since 1999 the gophers...

    Gophers playoff chances - FPI at 4.3%

    11-1 is a lock 10-2 is probably about a 90% chance 9-3 is probably zero chance due to the middle of the schedule being easier than many other power 2 teams If Nebraska Iowa and Michigan state all end up with 9 wins 9-3 might end up enough but I don’t but A rare 9-3 team has a shot. A 10-2 SEC...

    Jug, Floyd, and Axe in the Top 51 rivalries of college football per The Athletic.

    Any rivalry that isn’t saved can’t really be placed above a rivalry that is played annually IMO

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

    It’s fine if people want to feel slighted but a 7-5 team that was QB centric who doesn’t return their QB doesn’t seem to be talked down to when 80-90% of prognostications have them in the middle third of the conference

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

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    I would say and over under of 7.5 is probably the line where I don’t know which way to go. I’m definitely over 6.5

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    Those would be miracle wins but I do think we will hang tough in at least one of them

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

    I just don’t understand Someone show me predictions of the gophers 13 or lower and I’ll be like woah that’s low I just haven’t seen them

    P.J. Fleck gets a new contract extension—pending approval from Board of Regents—keeping him under contract until 2030.

    Nick saban finished top 4 of the big ten once and never won it while coaching a program that has had much more success than the gophers Yes, I am saying he is better than Nick saban No, I am not serious

    Fleck's bad losses at MN

    Agree on all counts Getting stomped by Nebraska in 2018 qualifies as a bad loss for me 2022 Purdue is bad but consider we lost our best player during warm ups (Mo) Also 2022 doesn’t sting as bad knowing the best team in the division was Illinois and they didn’t go either due to two losses to...
