Ohhh! This is too good!!! "The entire debate over the inclusion of Alabama and Ole Miss, who conclusively did not belong in the college football playoff in 2024, boils down to the fact that SEC fans are happy to choose whichever metric or standard makes their teams look better. That's fine...

I put Strongazzoffer on ignore and am glad I did so, but now a part of me can't stand that I can't see what terrible things he's saying. What's wrong with me?:LOL:

Thanks for laying it out so simply - total revenue, alumni base, involved fan base, big-money booster donations, attendance and NIL support. Based on these criteria, who do you think is trending up and down (why)? Down - Alabama (no more Saban), Wisconsin (unlikely to achieve previous...

I really like the current set up. It allows underdogs to get in and diversifies the field. I don’t care if they get crushed. So do teams like Tennessee! Tons of teams got crushed in the old system and even in the more equal NFL. Part of what makes the basketball tournament so cool is the...

I just put Strongazzoffer on ignore. That means I no longer see what he posts, right?

It seemed like his vendetta was making Greg McElroy uncomfortable. Sean had to start backtracking when Indiana made that late run. It would have been so cool to see them make that last two point conversion to move the game to just eight and see them start sweating! We were inches from seeing...

It seems like elite talent level teams almost always crush the underdogs/overachievers when they have a lot of time to prepare like for bowl games. I don't have data to back it up. It's just my perception. I think overachievers often have something gimmicky or unique about how they win that...

I really hope Texas and Tennessee lose tomorrow!

Gotta love the TV crew for the Notre Dame vs. Indiana game.

Or super quick. It's amazing sometimes seeing the jitterbugs among the giants. The quickness difference is very evident.

Ohio State has struggled for several years to get enough good guys on the OL. It's the primary reason for their "struggles" this year. I bet he starts for them. Plus, they get a local kid that is more likely to stick around. Being close to family and friends and playing for your dream school...

Right. It's starting with coaches giving back some of their excessive salaries to keep their jobs. I'd imagine that in the future most coaches just get paid less to start with. We'll see. I mean maybe a great college coach is worth MORE than a great NFL coach. Is college football even more...

For years, coaches, administrators and facilities soaked up all the money that should have been going to college football PLAYERS. As we all predicted, that's changing now...

Sorry about that. My comment wasn't really directed at you either. It was more general in nature. You just happened to be at the tail end of a string. I don't like the pervasive negativity on these boards sometimes too. I get it....especially after a couple Gopher losses in a row this...

On a scale of 1 to 10, the negativity of leib0039's initial comment was a one. I didn't even notice it until you all went off and piled on. Dang! Give it a rest. A little PTSD about the Gophers falling back into becoming a running team that ignores the pass is not that crazy unreasonable...

If you’re a top pick you should be getting pretty good NIL and can afford to buy a pretty good insurance policy against injury, right? You could also improve your draft stock as long as you do have that insurance policy in place, right? To your point, that insurance policy premium probably...

I agree 3-4 auto bids would be a joke. I’m concerned about expanding it more because these are young men and most of them still aren’t getting paid that much to beat up their bodies. The longer the season the more likely injuries become some of which will last a lifetime. Plus, many of them...

You might be right, but I hope not. We have to play to our strengths whatever they are. It was a lot of fun this year with a legit passing game! So far, it looks like it could be hard to replicate. Things are changing so quickly and so much more money seems to be pouring in that I can’t even...

A lot of athletes give off a vibe of arrogance and entitlement, not this guy.

I work in sales and just thought the fact he is so old at 72 to just be starting as a college coach AND has a 24-year old girlfriend could be a huge turnoff to a lot of mom's that have a heavy influence on their sons. It even turns off a lot of us guys on this site. These guys are very...
