In past years I would agree with you. Especially if that team had a difficult schedule. But there are so many 0, 1, or 2 loss teams right now with only 3 or 4 games left. Add in the fact ND is taking a bid. That's a lot of teams for a 3 loss team to leapfrog.

No 3 loss team has an outside shot at the playoff. There aren't enough at large spots available.

I think a lot of programs are running into the same issue. Schools are in a bit of a tough spot. If they allow NIL to be promoted a bunch they run the risk of losing donor dollars to NIL. They don't want that cash cow to stop. Athletic Departments have a tough road to navigate going forward...

Very appropriate that he did this rant while sitting on a toilet.

The Gophers wouldn't have made the 12 team field that season. They were ranked 18th in the CFP rankings at the end of the regular season.

NIL deals will never go away. That's like saying NFL, MLB, & NBA players can't sign endorsement deals.

Officiating being their main job would make them more professional. I don't care what they do the rest of the week. Whatever officials do to train and get better at their jobs.

Exactly. In college football you have to expect bad calls on both sides. Until the conference gets professional officials it will continue.

Could have packed it in down 21-0 with MIA offense but give them credit they've battled the entire way. Huge effort from the D. Michigan still <200 yards total offense.

By rule you can't spike and get another play off with under 3 seconds.

Wow that's just full on delusion.

PJ always gets his players to play hard so I'm confident they'll pull off some wins even if some more losses pile up. The schedule isn't so daunting that they'll get 0-fer. They're going to have to figure out a way to be better on offense. Outside of 2 drives they were nonexistent vs Iowa.

There is true revenue sharing in the B1G.

It wasn't as close as the score indicated.

According to CBSsportline (as of Wednesday morning) 85% of the public bet is on Iowa to cover and the money line split is 60/40 in favor of Iowa at -135/Minnesota +115 Even more surprising, to me anyway, is 82% of the bet is on the over.

Minnesota 13 Iowa 6

Quite the opposite actually. While I did graduate from college I'm as blue collar as they come. I think it's great that programs like Wisconsin & Iowa, and Michigan & Ohio State on a larger level have so many fans that are not alumni. I root for a team of a school that I did not graduate from...

Of course Minnesota and Iowa State fans are going to get along very well. They rarely play each other in football & both hate Iowa. For Iowa State they are without a doubt public enemy #1 and for Minnesota they up there but probably overall not quite at Wisconsin level. I won't argue about...
