Not in what I just drew up but I’m sure you could make groups of 6 in a way to preserve all rivalries Michigan Minnesota Ohio state Michigan State Wisconsin Iowa That’s a gauntlet every year though

The problem is growing the pie per team by more than a new slice Without expanding the conference schedule above 9, no way Moving the conference schedule to 10, 11, or 12 Possibly

24, 28, 30, 32 are the logical numbers 19-23 are dumb 25-27 is dumb 29 is dumb 31 is dumb Candidates Notre dame Texas A&M Missouri North Carolina Virginia Florida state Georgia Tech Colorado Arizona state or Arizona Utah Clemson Kansas Someone else from Texas Second tier Tulane...

It’s a no brainer except those 16 5a schools would hate it If you kept them separated in the playoffs but joined them for 48 in the regular season it should be good for everyone People forget that Eden prairie playing Hopkins isn’t just bad for the Hopkins kids…it’s also bad for the EP kids

Really easy to make it 10 games Play 5 in your pool and 5/6 from another pool The only downside is it opens up the possibility of 3+ unbeatens + it takes longer than 6 years to play everyone home and home. Takes 9 years. There are a ton of permutations of that possibility currently so it...

Clemson, FSU, Georgia tech, Virginia, North Carolina, Notre dame 24 in big ten. 4 scheduling pools of 6. Play your 5 in your pool plus an entire other pool These are not divisions it’s just a scheduling model. 11 game conference schedule + one buy game or home and home Auto bids so...

First time with 3 losing seasons in a row since the late 50s and only the second time in school history Warmath’s last year He won a national title But at that point he had the only two streaks of 3 consecutive losing seasons in a row in school history. 1971 Meanwhile the Vikings had their...

Would be interesting to see a list of the last drafted QB for every FBS and every P5 team

Mayo has been to the second round of the playoffs two years in a row though. Their record being poor has to do with their schedule losses being vs QRF: 3 5 9 13 14 15 17 This is 2024 where they were nearly as good. In 2023 their losses were to QRF: 1 2 3 7 9 16 That was a pretty good team they...

You don’t even need to change it for playoffs Just make the district more like 48-64 for regular season. Instead of 32.

I think that last year the following teams would’ve been top 20 in 6a: Owatonna JM Chanhassen St Thomas academy Armstrong Cooper Elk River Andover Moorhead Alexandria Every year the top 10-15 in 5a are better than the bottom 8-12 in 6a In my opinion There is a question if they could hold up...

Because that’s just the vernacular name for it There are still federal qualifications for reductions to things like field trips, AP Tests, Etc There is a new way of calculating it this year I think which could explain some of the volatility. People weren’t opting in post pandemic with free...

So when coon rapids was supposed to be 6a a few years back…they appealed and said they couldn’t compete. MSHSL made 6a 31 for two years. In one of those years coon rapids went to 5a semifinals So they rigged the system so coon rapids could win. But in doing so they made 5a teams lose to a 6a...

Correct. The biggest thing 6a does is give a way for chaska, Chan, Alex, elk river, Mankato, etc to compete for state titles. The downside is that it basically by policy has forced 6-10 teams in the state into permanent loser status. In 6a football, because it is closed loop, there are...

I suspect 5-10 plays will be the difference between 5th (illinois) and 12th (nebraska) against next year like it was last year

Anyone picking the gophers between 7 and 12 is fair If you picked gophers top 6 they aren’t really jumping anyone way better If you pick them 13 or lower you’re a hater 10 is fair

The numbers are Oct headcount’s from 2024-25 if they came from MDE If they come from MSHSL they’ve been hit with a Free and reduced multiplier They’re 9-12 numbers for all schools even if 9th grade is at a junior high or two

The only fair way to do it is a formula and hard cut lines There are no ties Someone wins and someone loses So if you game the system so Hopkins plays 5a teams and is 4-4 instead of 2-6 Well you just cost St. Louis park and tartan a win too. You can’t rig it in favor of one without rigging it...

If you go autobids for conference I assume it would be up to the conferences to see how those are determined If there were auto bids in a system though it would open up a league like the big ten to playing 10 conference games without hurting playoff chances

What this would have looked like assuming Notre Dame was ACC: Championship Saturday: Army vs Ohio state Jacksonville State vs Alabama South Carolina vs Marshall Illinois vs Ohio Clemson vs Iowa state Winners join a field that includes: Indiana Penn state Oregon Texas Georgia...
