    Who Wins the Whole Enchilada?

    Not a lot of love for Texas here. If Ewers steps up and plays solidly going forward, I think they can be there at the end. Oregon plays unbelievably fast, but they are more physical than they sometimes appear. I think the winner of that semi-final (if it is indeed does occur) wins it all. I...

    Transfer Portal so far (UM, IA, NE, WI)

    It hasn't been decided, but if the pattern of previous decisions holds, I think it will go the way of the players. Every ruling to this point has been in favor of the players.

    Transfer Portal so far (UM, IA, NE, WI)

    The 105 rule got me thinking int he wake of the Pavia-centric Junior College ruling. I wonder if that will steer more walk-ons to JC programs where it appears there won't be a crimp on eligibility like there would be at the 4-year college level.

    True. I never thought he was that good to begin with, but he really did have a subpar year given the pre-season build-up. Both he and Ewers were in the first-round projections along with Ward and Sanders as the season began. I think what we've all learned (or known all along) is that...

    Your points are true as well. Seeing a lot more quasi-double TE sets with one of the TEs split out a few yards or in the slot.

    I think Beck has another year of eligibility if he wants it and after his injury, he'll probably return to Athens.

    But a different type of running game. The old Wisconsin Deep-I with a FB isn't seen that much anymore (at least by me). Plus, the P/R option with the pass often setting up the run as opposed to vice versa seems more prevalent.

    This is absolutely stunning. I know that re-branding is difficult (just ask Nebraska post-Solich) and Wisconsin had a well-developed brand of great offensive lines and active punishing defenses, but--especially on offense--the game has changed dramatically (and in fairness P.J. had to realize...

    All four playoff winners were on home field

    If conference championship week is eliminated (makes less sense now), the tournament could start earlier. Agree that they should move Army/Navy to Veterans Day or another day when it is the only game being played. I think the academies realize that being the only high-profile game on network...

    Maybe he'll be going to law school so he can become a Loya.

    Those were Heupel's senior year high school goals. It appears that his post-college goal sheet included the item "Gain another 100-plus pounds by the time I'm 45." Heupel was a really good college QB and I believe he was mentioned as a possible Gopher HC both when the moved on from Brewster...

    Missed most of the SMU/PSU game but from what I saw early in the game, SMU really didn't belong on the same field. Jennings simply isn't very good. PSU gave them chances to get back in the game, but SMU just was unable to do anything with those chances. ESPN was bitching about the Big Ten...

    My exact thought. I had to do a search to see what channel the CFP was on. TNT?

    Does Nathan Roy project as a guard or tackle? Highly-sought recruit that hopefully sees the field next year.

    I asked about him the other day and it looked like he was headed to Oklahoma instead of us. Glad we closed the deal. Maybe Ersery making it official by declaring for the draft steered Tarai our way.

    I haven't followed Indiana much this season (Cinderella story or not), but I was surprised when they went for the field goal after (according to the statistic shown) going for in on 4th down consistently when in the opponents' territory all season long. Cold night. maybe had someting to do with...

    Lindenberg Declares for NFL

    I think the NFL has a consultant to help college players with eligibility decide on whether or not to declare for the draft. It's still up to the player and there's no guarantee that someone will get drafted even if the NFL consultant thinks they will, but it's probably a reasonable assessment.

    All very true, but do you think if the SEC simply says "No eligibility limits!" that the Big Ten won't follow due to the competition for revenue? You inserted the qualifying statement, but I just think once the first domino falls regarding eligibility limits, the rest will fall as a result. I...
