Easiest way to fix college football is to remove the years of eligibility - as long as you are enrolled in the school, you can play. This would instantly reset salary structures lower due to the flood of players and likely drastically reduce the recruiting costs and salary demands of freshman...

How many FBS teams did each play? Given that, there should not be a non-counting game for Bama when they get whooped.

The only reason why I liked bowl season was to see how the conference stack up across multiple games. With the playoffs, it no longer does this with the amount of people that opt out and the teams not really caring unless you are in the playoffs. Also, with the CFP, we will likely lose the...

If we were in a re-building season and win 3 games with this schedule, then I would be on the 'fire PJ' bandwagon. If a 3-4 win season is an actual possibility this late into his time here, I don't know why we would keep him.

I think a B thus far. I didn't have high expectations going into this year but the run game and defense were materially worse than I thought they would be. However, I believe we have QB nailed for next year (and hopefully a few more) and our win total is about where I expected - if we win the...

"You get to choose who makes up the 12 team CFP field as of today. No restrictions on what conference the teams play in. No mandated bids to any conference Champions or any conferences for that matter. Who you got for your field?" For me, I put B1G: OSU, Indiana, OR SEC: A&M, GA, Oklahoma, Ole...

I wrote previously on this - I think Lindsey will be the greatest QB in my time as a Gopher fan. As long as we can keep him from jumping for NIL, our offense will only get better so I look forward to next year as no position is more impactful in college football than QB. That said, our D this...

I would prefer a system which is an 8 team play-off which includes the B1G, SEC, ACC, and B12 only. Each team gets 2 teams - and first game is the conference championship. If you cannot win your own conference, you have no business being named National Champion. If you are not in the Big 4...

Only thing to be optimistic about is next year. If we can figure out the run game, we have a legit QB that will win games as he matures.

Their stadium will be half empty within the next 3 years if this current state of play continues. For these people, did they like Wisconsin before their kids attended? I am curious as half the people I know (I am from Green Bay) actually still cheer for the Badgers after their kids got...

Here is the real deal on WI football. When they are winning, they get a lot of in-state support from people in the surrounding area that will cheer for anything associated with the state. This is critical because a huge percentage of the WI students are not from the area and immediately leave...

In the past, I would have agreed. But, this guy has the chance to leave college with a net worth of $8M+ if he plays well next year. He is a gamer that I hope we can have stick here for his whole college career.

Next year we will be much better - QB is the most critical position and I think we are set there for next year. Our bigger issue is if Lindsey plays lights out, he will jump for NIL dollars the year after. Yeah, I know this is looking way in advance but I think he is as good of a QB as we will...

You play the teams on the schedule and they smoked Illinois - which is a very good team. Also, they get ranked #7 because the SEC and B12 don't really have elite teams this year.

Indiana is not winning with a roster stocked with 5-stars, neither is ILL. We have under-performed because PJ hit his ceiling early.

After 5 years, you know what you have and what you don't. We have been at this way longer than that. So, either the program has to make a change or the fans have to change their expectations because as long as PJ is here, this is what Gopher football is.

A super league without a draft and some form of control over player contracts to stop the portal will create permanent bottom dwellers. In that type of set up, I would prefer the Gophers not participate at all. If the B1G blows up over that, I would prefer the Gophers and other like teams for...

But at least in the past, they pretended to care. It was all about selective enforcement before - like with our own tutor scandal destroying basketball at Minnesota. But now, the schools will no longer pretend. This applies to attending classes as well as 'athlete health' concerns as they...

No, just school administrators pretending to care about them. This is no different from the players no longer pretending it is about attending classes and getting a degree. A lot of players will be millionaires by the time they step foot on campus. Remember when people feigned outrage when...

Hard to rank it any other way given the results of the actual games played - we lost, the teams ranked ahead of us didn't. Until the middling teams (MSU, Maryland, Washington, Rutgers, etc) start to play competitive teams and lose, we are right where we deserve to be. That said, the ACC is hot...
