Mean Green 54 Gophers 51 Ouch. That one will leave a mark.

Hoping the the slight line bump in Gophers favor means maybe folks in the know are hearing Garcia is likely to play.

A snapshot look at the North Texas Mean Green: Record (vs. D1 opponents): 1-0 (beat Evansville 80-63) Note: Scored 80 points in both games. 3 averaging double figures: Atin Wright (16), Jasper Floyd (14), Johnathan Massie (12.5) KenPom: #73 Bart Torvik: #78 Haslametrics: #92 Haslametrics only...

Gophers open -1.5 vs. North Texas.

Definitely could've included Wazzu. I just figure they're too tied to Boise State, who wiped them 45-24.

Buffs were the only team I really had trouble deciding which win to go with. Bison? @ 6-4 Texas Tech 5-4 Baylor? 5-4 Cincinnati? Texas Tech probably would've been the safer choice.

A look at opponents' winning percentage of various and sundry teams directly in the College Football playoff conversation, or on the periphery. I've also included "best win" and all losses. Highlighted teams = current automatic qualifier Unbeaten Teams 1. Oregon (51-41, .554) -- Best Win: Ohio...

Week 1 Big Ten Power Rankings. I wil take on the impossible task of ordering 18 teams based on a couple games of data. Please, no wagering. 1 Ohio State (1-0) -- Youngstown State (Mon) 2 Illinois (2-0) -- Oakland (Thurs) 3 Purdue (2-0) -- Yale (Mon) 4 Indiana (2-0) -- South Carolina (Sat) 5...

Week 1 Summit League Power Rankings. There are some significant measuring sticks in Week 2. https://x.com/Fieldof68Freak/status/1856049733871046832

As fate would have it, Huskers are one of the teams I haven't seen play (not even a few minutes). Illinois, Maryland, and the Badgers are the others.

I agree. Bulldogs are 100% in if they win out. Ditto for Alabama. Tide far & away would have the best resume of any 2-loss team, not to mention several 1-loss teams.

Yep. If I were a betting man I'd say Buffs will win out and get the Big XII automatic bid. However, I don't think they'd have a shot for an at-large with 3 losses. There's just too many SEC teams that would be taken ahead of them, despite Prime Time appeal.

By Buzz King -- @Fieldof68Freak on X A look at Week 1 of the college basketball season, starting with our weekly “Field of 68” projection. Please peruse and (hopefully) enjoy at your leisure. The projected automatic qualifier in a multiple-bid conference is noted with an *. When the NCAA...

Automatic qualifiers/conference leaders are determined by "best conference record", hence 1-0 is better than 0-0, 2-0 is better than 1-0, etc. In the event of a tie for the conference lead (Big Ten, SEC), conference tiebreakers were used. Opponents' winning percentage is noted with each team's...

Gophers sneak past Mavericks/Top Guns, 68-64. Survive and advance.

St. Thomas thumps Green Bay 90-76 on the road. Tommies in control the whole way, led at one point by 24. Tommies have less experience, but more athleticism this season. Miles Barnstable the latest Tommies D3 to D1 stud. Athletic kid, no fear, can shoot it.

Yep, we're up to 4 now. I'm tracking all non-Power 5 wins (yes, I'm including Gonzaga/WCC even through we all know Zags are basically a major) over Power 5 conferences. Plan on it being part of my weekly report through the non-conference part (November-December) of the schedule.

Solid opening night, though things clearly got stagnant when Garcia sat. I like Odukale, though that FT form needs a lot of work. He defends. ... he'll get a lot of playing time because of that. He and Rigsby provide above average athleticism on the wing. As others pointed out, it appears we...
