Assuming you mean Florida State, the Seminoles are not breaking in a new head coach.

The Big Ten really doesn't use a tiering system like it did from 2014-19. The bowls have more of an independent choice now and Pinstripe picked Penn State over Minnesota (which as you said was fine with the Big Ten and fine with Minnesota). Still doesn't mean Minnesota didn't get passed over...

Emmett Johnson earned his degree from the University of Nebraska, so he must have gone to college to go to school a little bit.

Call me crazy, but let's assume your hypothetical is true......didn't you just construct the exact argument that would prove that Penn State did indeed jump us? Is that what you're trying to prove? Or, disprove?

He was part of the NFL Diversity Program WHILE he was a full-time assistant at Akron and at Minnesota. It was part-time and temporary during the offseason. He became a "regular" hire at Arizona straight from Minnesota, not from his off-season diversity fellowship experience 2 and 3 years ago.

A holy war ! Mormons vs. Catholics

Yes, ND falls into the regular ACC bowl pecking order in years they don't make the CFP. The top ACC bowls are the PopTarts, Gator, and Holiday. They were almost certainly going to the PopTarts Bowl if they wanted to play a regular bowl game.

Winston has been with Arizona less than a calendar year. He left the FULL-TIME defensive line coaching job at Minnesota earlier this year, to take the FULL-TIME defensive line coaching job with the Arizona Cardinals. He was never an intern with the Cardinals. Ever. So, he didn't "become" a...

Winston is the current full-time NFL defensive line coach at Arizona. He is not an intern for the Cardinals. Winston made over $400k/year with the Gophers as DL coach in 2024. He wasn't leaving that to go do an internship in the NFL.

ESPN literally owns and runs the bowls (not figuratively, they literally own and run them). And ESPN makes gobs of money televising the bowls, because mass amounts of people watch the bowls, no matter how meaningless everyone ever year proclaims the bowls to be. Bowl games are still around...

In fairness, we did sign three kids from Phoenix area as part of our recruiting class this past week.

In years Notre Dame doesn't make the playoffs, they are slotted into the ACC bowl pecking order. Most projections had them playing BYU in the PopTarts bowl in Orlando as the "ACC" rep.

Zero chance Brian Callahan was going to get fired. None.

In an 18-team Big Ten, only 11 players had more tackles than Koi Perich in Big Ten Conference games. Amazing for a guy who many apparently think can't tackle. He is usually around the ball and has great instincts and absolutely deserved recognition. He didn't make the splash plays he did as a...

Some bigger bowls and sponsors could turn to paying players directly to make sure star players don't opt out. College basketball just had a tournament where the winning team split up a $1 million bonus, which was in addition to getting paid just to show up and play.

The conference offers some guidelines and the bowls ultimately pick the teams based on those guidelines and contracts. Here are the likely conversations this week broken down to simplest terms (somewhat tongue in cheek): Big Ten to the Citrus: You can't pick Illinois. So, who do you want...

Curious, where was he out of position?

In the 18-team Big Ten Conference, only 11 players in the entire conference had more tackles than Koi Perich in Big Ten games. I wouldn't call it a slump. He was pretty good.

The same article has the Las Vegas bowl as Cal vs. Missouri. This is why it is important to find projections written by people who know what they are talking about. This Sporting News writer doesn't even know what conferences belong to what bowls. Some of these guys are just filling spaces to...

This is great. I always thought they should offer a chance for students at other metro schools to buy single game tickets if there were any available. Like a life-long Gopher fan student who is from Minnesota but is attending Hamline or Augsburg or Concordia, etc. If there are tickets...
