Clearly improved. But not good. Not even average. It didn't help they've been without their top WR for the last 5 games but they weren't even average prior to that. But to lead the conference in rushing, particularly with a passing game that doesn't require attention was impressive IMO. Now to...

Iowa nearly doubled their scoring output this season. 15.4 per game to 28. They scored 20 offensive TDs last season. 38 this season. First in the conference in rushing. Their passing game is awful though. Pretty amazing that a major college team can be that bad at QB.

Nebraska tried hard to lose the game. 4 fumbles. They survived the first 3 but not the last one.

Wasn't nearly as close as the score indicated. Total domination.

Do you like turnovers too? That's basically what it was.

I can't remember the last time I watched a Wisconsin team that is this bad.

Realistic chance North Carolina end up in the B1G eventually. But at the moment any program not in the B1G/SEC is going to have to serious deep pocket donors to outbid a program from one of those conferences.

Can't disagree with any of this outside the bolded. McNamara couldn't even be a game manager this season. His picks and fumbles were killers. However this is the worst Iowa defense in at least a decade. Even their special teams have been shaky. The last time I've seen an Iowa team this poor...

Word is McNamara has thrown his last pass for Iowa. Ferentz said last night it is "likely" that Stratton will start against Maryland. Iowa beat writers don't expect McNamara will be part of the team going forward. Sounds like he's going for a 7th year of eligibility but it won't be at Iowa...

They're ranked 65th in Kenpom ranking. Ahead of several major college teams.

The B1G did Minnesota/Wisconsin/Iowa/Illinois no favors by letting the west coast teams in and no longer having divisions. 8-4 seasons are going to be tough to do for all of those programs.

While the rivalry itself (Indiana-Michigan St) doesn't garner much attention, the Old Brass Spittoon deserves mention as a great trophy.

In past years I would agree with you. Especially if that team had a difficult schedule. But there are so many 0, 1, or 2 loss teams right now with only 3 or 4 games left. Add in the fact ND is taking a bid. That's a lot of teams for a 3 loss team to leapfrog.

No 3 loss team has an outside shot at the playoff. There aren't enough at large spots available.

I think a lot of programs are running into the same issue. Schools are in a bit of a tough spot. If they allow NIL to be promoted a bunch they run the risk of losing donor dollars to NIL. They don't want that cash cow to stop. Athletic Departments have a tough road to navigate going forward...

Very appropriate that he did this rant while sitting on a toilet.

The Gophers wouldn't have made the 12 team field that season. They were ranked 18th in the CFP rankings at the end of the regular season.

NIL deals will never go away. That's like saying NFL, MLB, & NBA players can't sign endorsement deals.

Officiating being their main job would make them more professional. I don't care what they do the rest of the week. Whatever officials do to train and get better at their jobs.
