I could see Adam Weber as a QB coach, but not an Offensive Coordinator.

Do we know that KC will not be coaching the bowl game? EDIT: Nevermind, I just read the Pioneer Press article. Sounds like he's already gone :-(

Here are the nonconference games of all seven BT West teams (in order of difficulty). I have highlighted those teams that should be in (or near) the AP Top 25 at the end of the year (i.e. FAU is currently 29, but won in convincing fashion and might come in at #25) 1) Wisconsin: Notre Dame, App...

I was looking up today's bowl game participants. When I looked up Liberty (7-5), a few things stood out to me: 1) Outside of a win over Buffalo, their other 6 wins were versus teams that went a combined 4-31 in FBS play. 2) They played two FCS teams (Hampton and Maine) 3) They played (and...

After the dust has settled for the early signing period, I give a C. On Rivals we are 33 out of 65 P5 conference teams and on 247 we are 35/65 and in the Big Ten, we are 9th and 10th on the two services. Outside of the elite helmet schools, a place like Minnesota will never be higher than...

When will the recruiting window close? (i.e. when will we know how the Gophers did in comparison to the rest of the conference?)

I am working on "the list" (just for kicks). I have about 30 written, but am still pondering. Has anyone actually seen PJ's list? If so, is there a source?

I might be the only one, but I like the system as it is. Nobody cares who the number 2-8 teams are, we just want a definitive #1. Give me an example for this year, which team outside of #1-4 should be in the conversation at this point to be national champion based on the entirety of the season?

Yesterday (I think) Auburn OC Kenny Dillingham accepted the OC position at Florida State. His replacement will be fired Arkansas head coach Chad Morris. What I cannot figure out, however, is the timeline. Will Dillingham depart immediately for Florida State to help with recruiting or will he...

In today's Star Tribune, it sounded more optimistic. Here is what is says: The Gophers have a couple more weeks to have some players return from injury. One could be quarterback Zack Annexstad, who Fleck said could return from his foot injury early in training camp to play in the bowl game...

I wonder if this is a clue to whether Franklin will be at PSU next year.

If you look at the SEC Divisional Champions on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Southeastern_Conference_champions you'll see thirteen Co-Division Champions listed since 1992 that did not win the tiebreaker (and did not go to the conference championship game as a result). I hope...

I think it depends on degree of victory or loss. My completely gut-feel guess is: convincing win= AP#10 close/lucky win= AP#14 bad loss = AP#22 close/unlucky loss=AP#18

In my tenure as a season ticket holder, the Gophers have ended the regular season as a ranked team: 1999, 2003, 2014 and 2019. Here are the post-regular season rankings, the bowl results and the post-bowl rankings: 1999 Pre-bowl AP#12 Lost to unranked Oregon 20-24 Post-bowl AP#18 (Oregon moved...

I hate to resurrect this discussion, but I just noticed that 2017 National Champions Alabama were "divisional co-champions" with Auburn that year. Auburn won the head-to-head and lost to Georgia in the SEC championship game. Poor Alabama made the playoffs and won the National Championship. I...

I'm all in on Auburn Unfortunately this is figuratively and not literally. I've been to five bowl games, but my family travel plans will prevent me from making it to Tampa. For any of you on the fence about going... GO! You will love it, you will have a great time. Don't think about the...

OMG... that show is taking forever to get past #4. It is clear to me that most general sports fans only care about the 4 team playoff.

I hope nobody sits out the bowl game :-( If they were higher projections, I could see the logic in sitting out, but lower projections could use this as a spotlight to improve their stock.

I think the rule in question ended with the creation of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) in 1998.

It's hard to tell how good the SEC is this year. Almost every power-5 team played a pretty weak non-conference schedule, so it is tough to gauge. Some exceptions to this include Auburn's narrow home win over Oregon in week 1, Georgia's 6 point home win over the Irish, Florida beat it's two...
