BCS formula 12 team tourney with auto bid for any conference champ in top 25 + all others filled by at larges. Formula does seeding. High seed hosts until semifinals Then 3 neutral site games for final 4 Who says no? (Everyone says no)

True, but the mountain west has a greater than zero chance of disappearing in the next 10 years. Where as I don’t think that’s true of the Mac. The mountain west also has a greater than zero chance of looking like conference USA the next 5 years.

Yup. If you don’t have 1, fleck not interested If you don’t have 2, school not interested If 3 is out of balance, it’s hard to take even if 1 is true

There is a Venn diagram of places where it is a job you can win more than Minnesota. Fleck would be appealing to that program both his football resume and personality And Expectations to realistic possibilities ratio is appealing And where those three meet are better jobs than Mn How many...

Correct The bye should Be an advantage But it isn’t because everyone gets a double bye And those with a bye get a triple

I think the two most prime candidates are MN-WI and USC-UCLA They want a rivalry and I’m not sure Oregon-Washington is enough of one. Saturday still has the big noon game. So the NBC game is going to be like the 3-4th pick of games that week. Not sure the contract exactly

NFL just released their Black Friday slate as one 2pm game So I won’t be surprised if big ten has a 2:30 cbs (likely Iowa Nebraska) and a 630pm nbc (possible MN-WI) They have rotated the second game on Black Friday. I think there was a Mn Wi, a MSU PSU, and an Indiana Purdue the last 3 years...

I think they ran the numbers and in the long run it looks better I wouldn’t have made the move though because the MAC is more stable

I didn’t say they did

You said what’s the purpose if not for X Implying there aren’t other purposes beyond the national title May have read your post wrong

Would’ve been a bigger issue 10 years ago. The state champs had a center that must have weighed 170 pounds

Agree

It’s impressive but there have been schools with multiple power 4 guys not make the state tourney. 4 isn’t unheard of. But I don’t necessarily think all 4 will end up contributors

They aren’t a small school? They’re bigger than both Lakevilles They also get open enrollment from nearby small communities who want their kids to play larger school opponents

Wild to me that ESPN has such a large voice. The CFP is owned by the conferences (and Notre Dame). Youd think they’d do what they want then sell to the highest bidder. Meanwhile, somehow ESPN has bamboozled college football into letting ESPN act as defacto college football commissioner and...

Agree I would be OKAY with semifinals

There are some strange dynamics at play, if the big ten were ever trying to go totally independent and not play any other leagues by going 30-40 teams…there is a world where AAU schools like Buffalo, Tulane, or South Florida are added to get the league to a rounder number. That’s probably at...

How?

Perhaps he does. Indiana has had 10 players drafted the past two drafts Minnesota has 10 since the 2021 draft If you say, yeah that’s because he coached them up. There is an implication that either cignetti is better than all of the nfl coaches or an implication that other guys will catch...

I just don’t think cignetti is a significantly better offensive or defensive coach than a lot of other guys who haven’t achieved what he has. So to me it’s the scouting more than the coaching.
