Wow that would be a big (literally) signing. Started 4 games at LT and has 3 years of eligibility left. Apparently had an Alabama offer from his former HC, DeBoer. Had offers from Oregon, USC, Washington, etc out of HS. PJ (and DTA) have crushed the portal the last couple years.

Holy crap, Nebraska and Purdue. Those ratios ain’t looking great.

Seems to me this is more about Purdue overpaying (probably out of necessity) than Minnesota underpaying.

Sunday AM projections: CBS (Palm): Mayo vs. Duke (he has Bama in the playoff BTW) Action Network (McMurphy): Mayo vs. VT (SMU in playoff, Mich vs. Bama in Reliaquest) 247: Mayo vs. NC St (SMU in playoff, Bama vs. Illinois in Citrus)

I know this belongs in the hiring/firing thread, but given Purdue is an OG B1G team, I think it deserves a little more focused discussion. Feel free to move though, mods. https://x.com/Brett_McMurphy/status/1865771249437388972

I got bored today and trolled B1G message boards for bowl predictions. 1. Rumor is Nebraska players have been told it’s Pinstripe…which isn’t all that surprising to me. But this was just one random admin on a board saying it, so grain of salt. 2. No solid rumors from Mich or Iowa boards, but...

Yeah, I’ve seen some steam online around Charlotte online today. I’ll guess the following: Citrus: Illinois Relinquist: Iowa Music City: Michigan Mayo: Minnesota Pinstripe: Nebby Rate: Rutgers If Reliaquest lobbies hard for Michigan (totally possible), I think the B1G would place Iowa in the...

Dang that’s IMPRESSIVE, @SelectionSunday! Nailed so much of this, including 3 of the “first out” teams! Kudos!

I know most people felt Koi would stick around given how much he and his family seem to love MN, but I think the fact he came straight out and said it this soon after the season is pretty cool.

Man that’s a cool quote. You can feel however you want about PJ as a coach and the ceiling on the program, but as a builder of young men, I don’t think anyone can deny he’s extremely gifted and committed.

Man, I forgot about Zach Evans and had to look him up after reading your post. He ended up at North Texas, was suspended the first two games of the year, got a few carries in the next two games, and has no stats the rest of the year. Man, I was bummed when he transferred but it became clear...

I’d love to see him come back (but obviously in that backup role a la Major).

Well deserved and fitting end to a great career. He’s going to make a LOT of money rushing the passer on Sundays.

Obviously Indiana, Illinois, and Minnesota way up. USC, Nebraska, and Wisconsin way down. Finishing 8th in the brand new 18 team conference is a pretty decent showing. Missed 3 of the top 4 teams but also 4 of the bottom 6. The middle of the conference was a freaking bloodbath and likely...

I don’t think Alabama is necessarily deserving with two pretty bad losses, but the other teams in the mix don’t have super impressive resumes either. What keeps Bama out at this point? Would it be Clemson winning and getting that autobid? Would SMU get the last at-large in that case? Is...

Thanks @#2Gopher !! You’re a real gem for doing this year after year! And thanks to the GH staff for their support of the contest as well. Hats off to thee!

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...
