Coming into this season, I 100% would have agreed with you. However, what Indiana did this year so far is nothing short of remarkable. Now, this is not because Indiana is reinventing football so they can compete with inferior talent. What Indiana has done is get a lucky schedule and win the...

This seems just like a ranking by record vs. who would win head-to-head. For instance, I love the Indiana story this year and I would love from them to win the B1G. However, they got extremely lucky in that their first game vs. a team that is actually good this year is this week – and, they are...

Sorry, you are correct. I keep flipping between teams. 3 losses minimum from my prior post.

Lastly, I should add that Illinois should have been in the same situation with Indiana going 10-2 this season. I don't know the next time the stars will align for them again the same way in the future.

Which is just wild to me. Heading into the season, they had PSU, both team from the 2023 National Championship game, and OSU on their schedule. I am sure most went into the season thinking 4 losses at a minimum. Really special season for them.

With the B1G expanding, I thought our last chance at a winning something was meaningful due to the very favorable West being dissolved. Looking at this season with hindsight, THIS WAS THE SEASON if we had put together a more competent team. Literally, all of our games (with the exception of...

I reserve judgment until the end of the season. If this happened week 10, it would feel more real. As it is now, USC could very easily finish 7-5 and not ranked in the top 35. In terms of importance to a season, I see this as a huge win because this season had the high probably of circling...

In terms of record, they are 3-2, no other 3 win teams are in the Top 25 and then have a loss to #24 MI. They have only 1 quality win vs. LSU (#13). The reality is that they started the season #23, got vastly overrated after beating LSU and now have resorted to where they were expected to be...

True on the SEC - but, I think a lot of that has to do with expanding the league and not being able to schedule away from top matchups anymore until late in the season. Take Bama and Georgia in the last 15 years, they have played 3 times (including last week) in the regular season and has no...

I think USC will be the exception and be will be a huge NIL beneficiary (unless this policy changes). USC will also be able to get great QB talent with the current staff but now has to focus on locking down the rest of the LA talent which has chosen to leave in the last decade due to poor...

USC could very easily lose to PSU, Washington and Nebraska and finish at 7-5 - which would be the same as 2023 going into their bowl game. I think USC ultimately will be a top 3 B1G team - but, it will not happen this year. I would say the same for Michigan - I could see them drop games to...

With this win, PJ has ensured he will have a contract here thru 2030 if he wants it. In the long run, I don't think that is good for Gopher football. Glad to see we finally got a win and finally got the refs help for a change.

Someone needs to explain to them the meaning of the word litany.

USC is 3-1 not 2-2. They ending up rolling UW 38-21. Also, they beat #13 LSU and lost to Michigan in the final seconds. All that said, I hope they underestimate us and we get the W. From their Michigan game, they allowed 290 yards rushing and only 32 passing (because Michigan has RB playing...

I don't know how accurate this site is: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/colleges/_/sort/players but, with 18 active on NFL rosters, that puts us at #36 overall. Not a perfect science, but I would assume if you want to be an AP top 25 team, you should be producing talent that will put you in the...

Literally everything wrong with college and college sports today - forcing a product on consumers that they have no willingness to purchase otherwise. Applies equally to women's sports (in a day and age where our Supreme Court nominees cannot even define a woman) as it does to 3rd World...

USC will be the first game against team with an actual offense. If the D steps up, we have a chance. If they don't, we are going to get our brakes beat off because we are losing games now to QBs putting under double-digit passing yards. If USC goes for 250-300, I hate to see what the score...

I am a decade older and feel the same way. Prior to NIL and the transfer portal, there was always the chance we could have a developed a super star at QB or something that could make for a magical 2-3 year run. Now, if we were able to develop that guy - they will leave for more exposure and...

Iowa's D on Saturday was mainly the result of development. However, I suspect you are correct that this will probably be one of the last examples as this model will not survive in the new era.

Weber is far, far superior to Brosmer. Hell, I would go out on a limb and say Weber at 37 years old and decade out of the game and he would still beat out Brosmer today. Sorry, but in my time as a Gopher fan, Weber is the best QB we have ever had and that includes Cupito - and this is with...
