SUPER disappointing in hindsight, but every loss was to a bowl eligible team, and the worst was to 6-6 UNC in a mistake-filled first game of the season. Memorable wins over USC, Illinois (may have kept them out of the playoffs in retrospect), and Wisconsin. Staff and players deserve a TON of...

CFN: Music City vs. Texas AM (yes, please). They have Mich in Mayo tho which I don’t see Sporting News: Music City vs. LSU (double yes, please). They have Mich in Vegas though which is actually impossible AFAIK.

I’m pretty sure I’m pretty sure ISU is a near lock to make the B12 championship if they win tonight, but it’s not guaranteed. So yeah, if they win but get left out of that game, you’d have a 10-2 team with a pretty lackluster resume almost certain to get passed over for a 3 loss team...

I could honestly see Michigan jumping all the way up to the Citrus with that win today (remember 7-5 PSU in Tampa a couple years back?), but I still think you see Illinois and Iowa in Florida. Then you’ll almost certainly get Mich in the Music City now. And if the B1G wants to avoid repeat...

Obviously anything can happen — and we’ve seen that PLENTY as MN fans — but the B1G has tried REALLY hard to avoid repeat bowl appearances since changing their placement system in 2013-2014. Because of that, I just see no way MN or Rutgers ends up in NYC when helmet schools Michigan and...

Wow, I didn’t notice this yesterday amidst the game day threads, but that stat is shocking. 0-10 (now) against FPI top 50 teams?! Forget ranked wins — Fickell is looking for a top 50 win still.

Dang missed this during my Thanksgiving travels. Oh well, here’s the games that haven’t occurred: Rutgers Scarlet Knights Notre Dame Fighting Irish Iowa State Cyclones Boston College Eagles

Some wrenches could still be thrown in the mix tomorrow, but Nebraska losing tonight all but seals up Iowa to Tampa IMO. They’ve not played there for a long while and finished 8-4 (6-3). Still looking like Nashville or Mayo for Minnesota. I think Nebraska will get shipped to Phoenix with that...

Agreed. I’m sorry, but if Indiana can run through a weak schedule and make the playoffs, MN can catch a break one of these years. They’re heading in the right direction on O, have been a great defensive program for the most part for 5+ years, apparently have a solid NIL collective, and have...

@upnorthkid posted a great breakdown of returning defensive talent above and I agree. Don’t forget Eastern who’s a monster inside. They’ll really miss Joyner and Striggow at Edge though. I’m more worried on O. Obviously have Taylor back. They have some talent at WR, but we haven’t seen much...

Agree with most: Solid B. Second most points scored on PSU in conference play - including more than OSU. Defense held two incredible RBs under 100 yards when they’d been averaging 200. STs by far the best game of the year IMO (minus the fake punt…argh). Two blocked kicks, perfect on FGs/XPs...

I forgot about APR. So Wisconsin can have Detroit this year :-) If things go as expected next weekend, you’ve probably got: Citrus: Illinois Reliaquest: Iowa Music City: I’ll say Minnesota. Hasn’t been forever and would be the next best team by conference record at 5-4. Mayo: Rutgers. Closest...

I’m sad about the huge missed opportunity, but how can you not be super proud of the effort? Anyone who says MN was outcoached is emotionally immature or a troll. Of course I’m disappointed about the fake punt, but the fact you had the #4 team in the country feeling like they had to do that or...

I thought Jah was out of eligibility, but either way he’s 100% gone IMO. I was surprised he came back this year honestly. Edge rushers are so coveted in the NFL and he’s going to make a TON of money. Awesome video, by the way. Lotta great memories for that group including multiple wins against...

Penn State Nittany Lions Indiana Hoosiers Nebraska Cornhuskers USC Trojans Texas A & M Aggies Colorado Buffaloes Texas Tech Raiders Arizona State Sun Devils Alabama Crimson Tide Ole Miss Rebels

Iowa and Illinois are likely to win out and land in the Citrus and Reliquest IMO. Iowa hasn’t played in Tampa forever and is obviously known to travel extremely well. That leaves MN, Rutgers, Mich, and one of Wisconsin/Neb for Music City, Mayo, Pinstripe, and Phoenix. If both Wisconsin and...

Clemson Illinois USC Georgia

Anything can happen in a B1G road game and Rutgers had the bye week to prepare, but I’m feeling really good about MN coasting to victory late in this one. RU has so many injuries, MN is health and playing fierce on D, and the O is running the ball better the last couple weeks.

If you know about the untimely death of Kelly Leeks, the Curse of the Stein, and China Gopher’s assailant taking a chair leg to the eye socket, you’ve been around this board for a loooong time, lol.

Same. Vegas must’ve already known. Still, I jumped on MN -6 early in the week and feel great about it.
