Michigan wins in the B1G because they literally get every call in their favor except when playing OSU. On top of that, I think it is blatantly obvious that Harbaugh used systematic cheating to gain an edge - which is now neutralized via the helmet radios and Harbaugh pulling a Pete Carroll and...

With 18 teams, this might be the last time in the history of the B1G where we have a team that is the bottom of the conference based on record alone without needing tie-breakers.

With the expanded B1G, this might be a feat never to be repeated.

Oregon benefited from playing in a weak PAC and the fact that USC was thrown into a decade of chaos as a result of Pete Carroll and incompetent coaching hires. On top of that, they had a huge advantage of Nike money in the pre-NIL era. I think OR comes back down to earth hard in the B1G. For...

I don't understand college football rules anymore. If anyone is watching the USC game, LSU just scored on a play where their WR blocked the USC corner into another USC player, before the ball was thrown, resulting in a wide open WR and TD. Not a word mentioned about this. No need to run pick...

You left out some important context: Mason had 1.) zero Admin support 2.) played in the off-campus, shared Dome competing with monster truck shows and tractor pulls 3.) no budget for coordinators 4.) zero success in the preceding 10 years to build off of What Mason accomplished here is nothing...

USC was 8-5 last year and lost the best player in college football. Now, they are playing even vs. a top SEC team. I think they will finally change the OSU/Michigan dynamic in the B1G - if not this year, it will happen next year.

I know I am in the minority here, but I think Adam Weber is likely the closest thing to a pro-QB that I will ever see in my lifetime as a Gopher fan - but, he was held back by constant change in coaching. I would have loved to see what he could have done in a system like we had in a system like...

It fits in the same way that new dorms and other student amenities do - it is their marketing arm as universities have transitioned to being big business and local economic drivers vs. a mission of educating. If the U of Minnesota tightened academic standards resulting in a 75% drop in...

I think as TV revenue models break (for college and pros - NBA already happened), college football will realize that they are actually a direct competitor for NFL and they need to change their relationship to that new reality to gain a bigger share of the remaining revenue. If you go back to...

I wrote this before and watching week 1, I feel it even more strongly - they should completely eliminate the idea of eligibility. If you are enrolled, you should be eligible. College athletics is 100% a business now so let's even the odds and allow unlimited eligibility. Bring back Leidner or...

To both fumble and throw interceptions? I don't think that is what the OP meant.

I respect Dabo for not using the portal or playing big with NIL as I absolutely despise both and think they will ultimately destroy college football. That said, you cannot coach a top program and win without using them so he is sorta holding Clemson hostage.

I guess we can just update each week and compare. My guess is that AK will have a better season statistically than Max but I do hope that I am wrong. As far watching him play - here are the youtube highlights. Rutgers basically looked like a Gopher team using the run to set up the pass and...

The Gophers fell behind in 2023 by 2 scores - which forces coaches to change the playbook and makes them easier to defend. Now, I am not arguing that AK is all world or anything of the nature - I was very disappointed in him last season as well. But, we basically got an even swap skill-wise in...

I think that would only be relevant if you do not believe in player growth over time. I think AK is likely a better player now than he was last year. I would also say that UNC is a worse team than they were last year.

My comment would be: AK week 1: 15 - 24, 147 yards, 3TDs, 155.2 rating. I know, different schools and different opponents and all. But the important part is that AK will still have time left to develop while Max is 1 and done. Next year, we are back to the same 'Young Team' excuse. So if...

I think we all can agree that QB is the most important position in the game. That said, if you bring in a portal player at QB - that player better be ready to step up and compete on Day 1. I hope Max can get it figured out quickly but if we finish with 5ish wins, was this move justified as it...

Don't give me any BS about growth - growth mattered in the old format where you had the same players for 4-5 years. We are in the era of every player being a FA on a 1 year contract and fans should no longer accept this as an excuse. PJ did a worse job of getting his players ready to compete...

Ugly start to the season. Got to start with some higher % passes rather than giving him a poor route choice on 1st and a 3rd and long on his second pass attempt. That said, poorly thrown ball on 3rd.
