I wouldn't bet Alabama stays number one for long now that the GOAT coach is gone. They'll still have high viewership, but all teams have people that jump on the bandwagon when times are good...or great in the case of Alabama.

I follow these rankings pretty routinely because I find them interesting and have a few observations based on my recent memory, but I could be wrong so please feel free to correct me: 1) This is the second time that we have ever had four recruits - Perich, Roy, Sunram, Carroll - ranked 90 or...

They could just not have an offensive coordinator and pay their defensive coordinator double? They could lead with their best offensive play, punting, on first down and just score with defense and special teams.

It will be very fun to track the success of Jedd Fisch & Kalen DeBoer. Kalen obviously has the longer track record of success, but it's always hard to figure out how much was the coach and how much was just good timing. The below article from the Seattle Times points out Kalen's good timing...

I agree we see less sports in the future, not more. The country is running a huge deficit and is running out of money for the basics and we're subsidizing athletic scholarships at colleges? I'll admit, I never understood this. I'm all for academic scholarships, but could care less about...

"He (Miss St portal transfer QB Will Rogers) was the fifth Washington player to enter the transfer portal Friday, joining All-Pac-12 second team cornerback Jabbar Muhammad, safety Mishael Powell, linebacker Ethan Barr and tight end Tre Watson."...

He seemed like he was getting less intense in the interviews I saw. He just seemed to be content even when they lost. It seemed like he was losing his fire. He sounded more like a disapproving grandpa than the more typical, fire breathing, head coach, which is what I remember of his younger...

247 got it right giving him credit for both https://247sports.com/article/all-american-bowl-minnesota-safety-signee-koi-perich-named-mvp-stats--224768026/

It would be fun, but I really hope these kids get paid for all the extra games they are playing including in the new, expanded playoff. They are increasing their risk of injury and probably hurting their grades. Most of them will not be pros.

Thanks for weighing in WAGopher. It seems likely that Washington has several advantages over the Gophers and that is why they have done better as a program over time. They also lucked out that their current coach had a history with one of the best portal quarterbacks and he put them over the...

Transfers starting to occur at Alabama. They already struggled on their offensive line this year and have more experienced guys going out. Looks like they'll be playing a lot of freshman. https://theathletic.com/5177673/2024/01/03/alabama-football-transfer-portal-needs/ The "trouble" with...

Seems like a fair list by the AI. See, they will be fair overloads when they takeover! I'd take Brosmer over either OSU QB that played in their bowl game & a 5-star true freshman. Air Noland is a pocket passer so unlikely to start as a true freshman because he can't just run around and beat...

Next year will be very interesting with all four new PAC teams! Washington will start off minus maybe the best quarterback in college football and three pro level wide receivers. PJ looked a lot better when he had what I think most people now consider an above average quarterback, Tanner...

Thanks for providing the background, UpAndUnder43. Now everyone on this board can make their own decision on whether it's reasonable to assume Brian Kelly could have overlooked the safety of the lift.

Doesn't Michigan have the potential to absolutely kill it in NIL especially if they win the national title? They are already killing it in the portal. Harbaugh can be the king of Michigan! He could have a permanent money advantage vs. almost any team in college football if he stayed vs...

For coaches too. You're hurting the product on the field which is how you all make your money. If you want to move, do it after the bowl games or lose eligibility/money.

I suspect this is not that unusual for a college coaching staff. It's basically the portal and always has been. We (and, yes, that does include me) now want to put restrictions on players transferring because it interferes with the product on the field. Should we put those same restrictions...

I just think you disagree with my reasons which is fine. Washington has won one national championship in the semi-modern era (1991) and is in the national championship game once again vs. the Gophers zero. There are many reasons for this. I think better access to recruiting is one of them. I...

I just heard a few more examples of how the portal allowed Michigan to compete with and beat Alabama in the "Eyes on B1G" podcast. With about seven minutes left, the Michigan guy on the podcast noted how Josiah Stewart is a transfer from Coastal Carolina. He's the guy that pushed Alabama's...
