Thanks, Mike. I agree with your points. I always root against the SEC. But, if Vanderbilt played Ohio State, I would go for Vandy!

I like your style! It's kinda like mine.

Agree, and of course NIL makes it easier to get good fast. As you said, the Ducks can get better, but will they? Hmmmmm.....

If I'm giving folks stomach issues then I know I'm doing my job! 😁

Yeah, I though about Clemson, but I always thought they kinda had the national name recognition like other blue bloods. More of a gut feeling by me. And, they did win it all in 1981. I put UW in the same vein, hence didn't mention them as an "outsider" who played in the championship game. Subjective for sure.

Some deep insight, appreciate it, Jon!

I feel your pain. Indiana "having our number" though is kind of like us having Michigan's number right now. Hopefully, that continues next year.

Yeah, The Hoosiers will need to stay healthy.

Yup, the change to a playoff has altered the equation.

Probably not, Ohio State still looks dominate. But, they have the dawgs at the line of scrimmage, so they have chance.

I would, I would root for the Hoosiers. But, also with a great feeling of "crap, it wasn't us."

Yes, that one crossed my mind, but the Ducks technically were not in the "championship game," although they should have been. Of course, that Miami team was loaded, the Ducks woulda had a punchers' chance, but also a chance at getting totally blown out.

The Gophers!? The only game in town?! My left foot!!!

Ah yes, Uncle Phil, the great equalizer!

Yeah, Wisconsin is interesting, we'll see if they can play the new NIL game of college football.

Sure looks like it. The Ducks brought some weight to the conference.

Yes, before expansion two years ago, if it wasn't for the recent elite consistency of Ohio State (one year of Michigan), the B1G would be the current Big 12. But, it's all about the tv eyeballs.

Yeah, that's an awful name!

Yes, how the Ducks respond is everything right now.

Yeah, out coached for sure!

Yeah, dare I say slow things down with methodical ball control, ground and pound them. Take the air out of their offense. Thanks for the comments!

Thanks for reading!

Thanks, Charles. You came to mind when I inserted the link to the Brittany Spears link. 😄

Thanks, Jon. I agree with your sentiment. We chose to join the B1G, we knew what we were getting into. There's gonna be a lot of travel, and some challenging scheduling is going to happen.
