    Final Field of 12 projection (what I think committee will do & what I would do)

    They were great games. But they still don't make a lot of sense in the playoff era. A few teams get a bye - that's great. But the teams that lost now had to play an extra game. And teams that idled got a week of rest + may end up seeded higher than the conference runner-up. High risk-reward for...

    CFP Playoff Committee shoehorns in Alabama at the last minute for the second year in a row ... this year with 3 losses...

    I don't think any 3-loss team is top 12. Especially when your losses are against some really bad competition. I hope they get destroyed in one of their match-ups. Arizona State would be a far more interesting inclusion.

    2024 MN High School Football thread

    Crazy that Minneota woulda won 4 in a row without Mayer Lutheran fielding a surprisingly talented team in 2021.

    Serious conversation

    I guess the fact that we almost beat (and probably should have) the defending national champions, things can seemingly change in an instant in the world of CFB. It would be easier if we just had bowl games. My only dream goal before was winning the Big Ten. Which would still be great. But...

    Serious conversation

    It reminds me of a conversation with a Michigan football fan back in 2017 or 2018. He said Minnesota CFB will never be nationally relevant. I wasn't willing to accept that then. Not sure I'm ready now. If there is even a little bit of hope that we can get into the playoffs occasionally, I'll...

    Post Game Thread: Gophers lose heartbreaker to PSU

    Puts the punctuation on a failure of a season (to me). They fought like hell, though.

    Remarkably close score to our 2019 meeting...Score 8 here and make it even closer.

    Tim Brewster will be the new head coach at Charlotte

    I really don't know much about Brewster besides his final year at Minnesota. I was a freshman and every game had people chanting "Fire Brewster" so that was a nice onboarding.

    And here they are. What a huge game for them. Win, and playoffs are almost a guarantee.

    I'm a bandwagon Indiana fan this season. They look so good.

    Every season….

    This has been PJ's biggest weakness. No consistency. Missing huge success by just a hair. Over and over. It's tiring.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT RUTGERS "THIS GAME IS PERSONAL" QB BATTLE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    That's this team. Never consistently good enough to make big moves in standings. Unbelievably frustrating. This has happened so many times.

    All Things 2024 College Football D2 and D3 Thread

    Yeah, they have made it hard on themselves with the La Crosse and River Falls losses. Like you said, need to win out and need a little outside help as well.

    That was infuriating to watch. Some truly boneheaded coaching decisions led to that collapse.

    First Round on Campus

    CFB playoff game on campus would be so fucking unhinged (and cold). Hope we can see it in MN some day.

    Indiana

    They remind me a lot of 2019 Gophers. Happy for them. Would be great if they could go undefeated up to that OSU game. Would be a massively fun game at that point.
