I think FPI data will also start to adjust itself more effectively now that we have entered the conference schedules. The issue is that not all the data is completely available these first 3-4 week in the FPI. What I mean by that is that the FPI data is focused on the FBS teams and the FCS data...

It's frustrating in terms of planning, but I think I see reasons why they want to wait to make a decision on several of these games and I'll throw out my thoughts for what it's worth. First, this all comes down to the very complicated TV contract (FOX/FS1, NBC/Peacock, CBS and BTN) and all the...

I'm giving this from the Iowa perspective: "Hawks get Wings Clipped by Minnesota after another Terrible Offensive Outing" On a side note, I found this on YouTube (Anyone know this guy?) :) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vMstuJsR23A?feature=share

Let's wait and see. I don't know if we can depend on Ferentz not stirring the pot. It was two weeks after the game last year and he was still telling people they go jobbed by that call when doing any interviews.

This is exactly what my Dad says. If it comes up in a conversation, he's always like there was no real rivalry before Alvarez. It took that huge winning streak by Wisky to just pull even in the series. Reminds me of the Packers as well when Favre came on the scene and won that first Super Bowl...

Yep, the Gold Chrome is officially out of this year's uni rotation.

How would you like to be Kentucky? Although they are 1-2, how many teams on this list hold Georgia to a TD and 2 FG. Are we sure the The Athletic didn't give this to an intern for busy work/misc content.

Yep, this is about it. I have family in Albert Lea, so Diamond Jo's always a nice side stop.

This wasn't the only thing Tenn did in the game. Tennessee went for an onside kick in the first quarter while up 30-0 and recovered it. The Volunteers scored on the ensuing possession, making it 37-0 at the end of the first 15 minutes. Now that's a serious "D" move on Heupel's end. I would have...

Agree, I was saying in general people think we start the season with cupcakes, UNC not one of them. In fact, I think UNC has more talent than a team like Iowa State.

I know few Wisky fans that are real A-Holes and it extends to Hockey season as well, so I lean that way. However, I also need to chime in for my Dad as he hands down hates Iowa. I remember being a kid south of Rochester and people for NE Iowa would come up to shop in Rochester and dozens of...

I know some people still like to look at Sagarin when it comes evaluating things like SOS, but I personally don't think that the model is aging well compared to newer data models like ESPN's FPI Index. I think the FPI model is more dynamic, has more data points, and adjusts the team ranking more...

Three games in our New DC - Corey Hetherman is getting the job done. Will we be saying Rossi who by the end of the year? I know the comeback by some is always well these are the Non-Conf cupcakes, but everybody is playing their cupcakes right now. So, the numbers speak for themselves, the Gophs...

There might be a wife or two that agree with Momma's opinion.

Also, these teams really do dislike each other. I saw a highlight of the Colo St head coach Norvell having words with a COLO coach a mid-field during pregame warmups. They may just want to run it up.

Well, NEB beat UTEP and a bad COLO team and that them ranked. We know the media loves the IU coach Cignetti.

Man, Indiana is really laying it to UCLA 42-13 late in the 4th Qtr. I imagine based on what happened with NEB last week, that IU is ranked after this.

Maryland in a dogfight with Virg late in the 3rd Qtr 17-13.

I have to say I'm encouraged by what the Troy QBs did in Iowa City today. Going into the 4th Qtr, Iowa was only up 24-21. I'm also going to bank on the fact that this year's Hetherman Def is better than Troys. Because if the Troy QBs can do this in Iowa City, I have high hopes for what Max might...

We can agree to disagree on whether this is considered sportsmanship anymore. I think those days are largely gone. PJ calls guys like Schiano his mentor and if you paid attention to Rutgers first two games he was clearly pouring it on during the 4th Qtr keeping his starters in the whole game...
