Dang that’s IMPRESSIVE, @SelectionSunday! Nailed so much of this, including 3 of the “first out” teams! Kudos!

I know most people felt Koi would stick around given how much he and his family seem to love MN, but I think the fact he came straight out and said it this soon after the season is pretty cool.

Man that’s a cool quote. You can feel however you want about PJ as a coach and the ceiling on the program, but as a builder of young men, I don’t think anyone can deny he’s extremely gifted and committed.

Man, I forgot about Zach Evans and had to look him up after reading your post. He ended up at North Texas, was suspended the first two games of the year, got a few carries in the next two games, and has no stats the rest of the year. Man, I was bummed when he transferred but it became clear...

I’d love to see him come back (but obviously in that backup role a la Major).

Well deserved and fitting end to a great career. He’s going to make a LOT of money rushing the passer on Sundays.

Obviously Indiana, Illinois, and Minnesota way up. USC, Nebraska, and Wisconsin way down. Finishing 8th in the brand new 18 team conference is a pretty decent showing. Missed 3 of the top 4 teams but also 4 of the bottom 6. The middle of the conference was a freaking bloodbath and likely...

I don’t think Alabama is necessarily deserving with two pretty bad losses, but the other teams in the mix don’t have super impressive resumes either. What keeps Bama out at this point? Would it be Clemson winning and getting that autobid? Would SMU get the last at-large in that case? Is...

Thanks @#2Gopher !! You’re a real gem for doing this year after year! And thanks to the GH staff for their support of the contest as well. Hats off to thee!

SUPER disappointing in hindsight, but every loss was to a bowl eligible team, and the worst was to 6-6 UNC in a mistake-filled first game of the season. Memorable wins over USC, Illinois (may have kept them out of the playoffs in retrospect), and Wisconsin. Staff and players deserve a TON of...

CFN: Music City vs. Texas AM (yes, please). They have Mich in Mayo tho which I don’t see Sporting News: Music City vs. LSU (double yes, please). They have Mich in Vegas though which is actually impossible AFAIK.

I’m pretty sure I’m pretty sure ISU is a near lock to make the B12 championship if they win tonight, but it’s not guaranteed. So yeah, if they win but get left out of that game, you’d have a 10-2 team with a pretty lackluster resume almost certain to get passed over for a 3 loss team...

I could honestly see Michigan jumping all the way up to the Citrus with that win today (remember 7-5 PSU in Tampa a couple years back?), but I still think you see Illinois and Iowa in Florida. Then you’ll almost certainly get Mich in the Music City now. And if the B1G wants to avoid repeat...

Obviously anything can happen — and we’ve seen that PLENTY as MN fans — but the B1G has tried REALLY hard to avoid repeat bowl appearances since changing their placement system in 2013-2014. Because of that, I just see no way MN or Rutgers ends up in NYC when helmet schools Michigan and...

Wow, I didn’t notice this yesterday amidst the game day threads, but that stat is shocking. 0-10 (now) against FPI top 50 teams?! Forget ranked wins — Fickell is looking for a top 50 win still.

Dang missed this during my Thanksgiving travels. Oh well, here’s the games that haven’t occurred: Rutgers Scarlet Knights Notre Dame Fighting Irish Iowa State Cyclones Boston College Eagles

Some wrenches could still be thrown in the mix tomorrow, but Nebraska losing tonight all but seals up Iowa to Tampa IMO. They’ve not played there for a long while and finished 8-4 (6-3). Still looking like Nashville or Mayo for Minnesota. I think Nebraska will get shipped to Phoenix with that...

Agreed. I’m sorry, but if Indiana can run through a weak schedule and make the playoffs, MN can catch a break one of these years. They’re heading in the right direction on O, have been a great defensive program for the most part for 5+ years, apparently have a solid NIL collective, and have...

@upnorthkid posted a great breakdown of returning defensive talent above and I agree. Don’t forget Eastern who’s a monster inside. They’ll really miss Joyner and Striggow at Edge though. I’m more worried on O. Obviously have Taylor back. They have some talent at WR, but we haven’t seen much...

Agree with most: Solid B. Second most points scored on PSU in conference play - including more than OSU. Defense held two incredible RBs under 100 yards when they’d been averaging 200. STs by far the best game of the year IMO (minus the fake punt…argh). Two blocked kicks, perfect on FGs/XPs...
