I agree with a lot of you that top 25 conference champs should be in. Does this actually make financial sense for the TV networks? Most of us don’t care if the third or fourth place B1G or SEC teams get in. If you lose two or more games, you should be out of contention! Bye bye Alabama! How...

What is his PFF grade nationally against all safeties, not just freshman? Could he be a straight up all-American? I have no idea so just wondering because he’s rated so much higher than any other freshman.

CFN does a good job! Rank all 130 every week so you can see how all the teams move week to week. They have Iowa at 19 one spot below Iowa State which makes a lot of sense and probably why they can justify the Gophs at 25. They also have South Carolina in the teens and are not bothered by...

My first reaction to your post was, damn, you’re old. Then I realized 1/2 a century is 50 and I’m 51!:oops:

Right! More parity will make games closer and create more "what if" scenarios! Speaking of an alternate universe where we are playoff contenders, we have a better chance of that happening in the future than we did even a year ago. Brosmer has proven that if PJ trusts his quarterback, he'll...

Thanks for the history lesson guys! Like I said, I don't follow college hockey that closely, but was worried the B1G ruined the sport by disbanding the WCHA. Glad to hear it's more complicated than that and hockey attendance is trending back up. I was talking to a DIII hockey player at...

Not to pile on, but didn't the B1G ruin college hockey too by removing us from the WCHA? Easy road trips to see us play local rivals with some of the best teams nationally. Was the Gopher men's hockey team in better shape financially before this change? Were games better attended then? I'm...

Excellent example of how the portal has leveled the playing field. Eli was the eighth best quarterback in the 2023 class and originally went to Alabama. https://247sports.com/season/2023-football/compositerecruitrankings/?InstitutionGroup=HighSchool&Position=QB Like Minnesota, Pittsburgh had...

If Max Brosmer keeps improving this season, I think he'll be the best Gopher QB I've ever seen and I'm 51 years old. As they said on the Gopher Gridiron podcast, he might be a good backup NFL QB in the future. Have the Gophers ever had a quarterback start in the NFL?

I agree. It doesn't matter having three undefeated teams as long as you still get all three into the playoff and it's very unlikely an undefeated B1G or SEC team gets left out. Non-P2 conferences better hope they never get left out. If one does, you can bet it only happens once and then the...

I saw the same thing. Unbelievable!

If Texas loses which looks likely, their best wins are over what will be unranked Michigan and unranked Oklahoma. How far should the #1 team in the nation fall in the rankings? I know they are SEC so not enough. I'd say for sure outside the top 10. Illinois just beat Michigan by a similar...

I'd say you're well on your way to finally becoming a good Gopher fan! Like the Tin Man, we have no heart and, when offered one, we refuse.

The gap between elite teams and middle tier teams is definitely closer in my opinion. Elite teams are still better, but not by as much because they can't stack 4 & 5-star players anymore. Every team has less depth because if a player isn't getting playing time at elite P4, they transfer down a...

Anyone that watches Alabama knows that they are a few Ryan Williams heroic, unbelievable catches away from having a crazy bad year (relatively speaking). He's a 17-year old true freshman. And I root against Alabama. Ryan Williams looks like a top 5 pick in a couple years. That level of...

I agree. It's a team sport so no one can single handedly win a game. What's fascinating to me is seeing in real time that adding one difference making player can potentially swing a game from a loss to a win, especially in a tightly contested game. We all know this is true, but it's...

IrishGoph55 needs an NIL deal!

We are 4-3 right now, but could easily be 6-1 (wins against UNC & Michigan) or 2-5 (losses to USC & UCLA). We can beat any of the remaining teams on our schedule and our bye weeks are at excellent times - this coming weekend and before the Penn State game. I think we've demonstrated that about...

With all the attention Koi is getting, I hope he doesn't get a big head, but facts are facts! He caused a fumble and had the game sealing interception at the end of the USC game. Without those two big plays, we probably don't win, right? As we all know, winning the turnover battle is one of...

3 of the top 10 defenses are from teams that have played Michigan. Ha!
