  1. Wtf are the announcers talking about? That UW might run out of time with a minute to go 4 yards!?
  2. That analysis assumes the offense is making its season average gains, not starting a true freshman at QB in his first game.
  3. Our head pastor is also the coach of Sunnyslope HS in North Phoenix. Dylan Cunanan is the first D1 recruit out of Sunnyslope that I am aware of. He made the church bulletin but had a difficult 1st year. Congrats on that game tying 51 yd strike Dylan 😎
  4. It sucks a bit more of you remember that UTn opened the season with a win over an SEC school, on the road of course. With that and Northern Illinois winning at Notre dame, it could have should have been a banner year for the MAC.
  5. And mandatorily built from the nearest FBS teams to the biggest school. And these 8 team conferences shall be named after their geographic region in the US. 😏
  6. He's not wrong. Hard = unlikely to avoid upsets while only a small favorite. But one team every year will have enough good luck to finish 11-1 against a mediocre schedule, and still be a significant underdog to the 5th best SEC team. Putting IU in the playoff is a feature of this playoff, not a bug. If people really insist that these teams get weeded out then there needs to be a pre-playoff inside each conference to narrow it down to two teams.
  7. IU was a victim of playoff greed. This team's natural course was something like the Citrus Bowl where the Hoosiers might have caught an apathetic SEC team and end their story book season on a win. But this way they had to play someone out of their league and they can't walk away feeling happy.
  8. IU will need a 4th unblocked defender to bring down Love.
  9. This thread is the mirror universe to that game's thread.
  10. Good start. We will need a pass longer than 3 yards someday.
  11. The schedules for the teams were kind of similar. IU played one good team and got crushed. Notre Dame played zero good teams. However the middle of our schedule was pretty respectable with teams like Louisville Army Georgia tech Texas a&m etc all turning in good but not great seasons. The idea to wear green while inviting the Hoosiers to wear their home red uniforms would work so well that I'm sure no one employed in an athletic department could think of it.
  12. There's a few ducks to line up to make it worth while. It makes you wonder about the origin of football when it was so hard to score you would eschew a regular drive.
  13. The torpedoes had to be drawn towards the exhaust, they do make an arc. I thought Vader's fighter was a shallow choice. The TIE fighters have zero armor and rely on speed. So the Empire put their top field commander alone in a vulnerable ship and distinguished it so everyone would know which to shoot at.
  14. I remember that, and the episode where Fred Flinstone goes back to school.
  15. I have contemplated your post for eleven days and concluded that RR is not a good institutional fit.
  16. My favorite was 2012 when the computers ranked us above Alabama; same record but we lost to a better team.
  17. We were ahead of Penn State in every computer and behind them in most every human poll. I was wondering if I am the only one that thought UGA is upgrading their qb.
  18. As was said above, the number of losses is just window dressing; we are all NFL-lite fans now.
  19. At least through the Bobby Knight era, the deal was that we would play them in football if they would schedule us in basketball. It would make for a great playoff game in South Bend.
  20. This is based on an assumption that #5 gets to play a team like UNLV at home. If you posit that the PC allows TV ratings to influence their seeding, then it becomes likely that you are hosting Alabama or some other talented team that lost a few. And, an IU type 11-1 will always be 5-8 so you don't meet them. I would not trade places. I think the first round bye is best unless you have a crystal ball that says you always play G5 then Big12. Well, if you want a benefit for winning the CCG then there should be a detriment for losing it.
  21. ND is up there with Texas by that metric across all 12 games. We lost NIU in the last minute and otherwise trailed only a few times early in the game.
