  1. Dilly and Howard are on the list of QBs who will impact the 2024 PO race. https://athlonsports.com/college/buckeyes-now/will-howard-named-biggest-factor-in-college-football-playoff-race
  2. 25 B1G Bold Predictions for 2024 - No. 21 - Not So Fast on Texas winning in the B1G House.

  4. B1G Bad Juju in Ann Arbor. Shoot the messenger? 15 Fears for Michigan football in 2024 WWW.MAIZENBREW.COM If the Michigan Wolverines are going to have a chance to repeat, they must first conquer some fears: Not 1, not 2, not 3 things to be concerned about but Fifteen, 15!😒Call Annie in from the Arbor. Dan Lanning is one of the fifteen and is compared to John Calipari. WHAT! After two seasons the author believes Dan has shown that he can't win the big game. Harbaugh coached at Michigan from 2015 to 2023. He won the B1G and made the CFB Playoff in 2021, 2022, and 2023. 2021, Michigan was steamrolled by Georgia. 2022, Michigan lost to a TCU team that gave up 63 points to Georgia in the champ game. 2023. No. 4 seed Bama took No. 1 seed Michigan into OT before Michigan blew out UW. Michigan has defeated Ohio State three years in a row but between 2015 and the Natty in 2023 there was a whole lot of choking going down in Ann Arbor. Eight seasons for Harbaugh to reach the pinnacle. This is Dan's 3rd season as a head coach. In his first two seasons, Oregon took down UNC and QB Drake May in the Holiday Bowl and extinguished the 13-0 Liberty Flames in the Fiesta Bowl. And did this without one, let alone two NCAA investigations. Kirby Smart went 1-5 against Nick Saban. Is Kirby a choke artist?
  5. Alrighty then, students, which of the below teams does not belong? How to buy Oregon Nike Air Max Solo shoe DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Check out the new 2024 Oregon Ducks Nike Air Max sneaker. Hint, busy as a ...
  6. Ohio State is not on the Trojans 2024 regular season schedule, but 'down the conference road', No. 2 Ohio State could be a problem for Troy. Five teams in the US LBM Coaches Poll pose a huge threat to USC TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Five teams most centrally stand in USC’s path to the playoff and the Big Ten title. No. 3 Oregon? For B1G traditionalists to overlook the Ducks, OK. For SC? Traveler loves living in the past.
  7. Thanks for the post. I'm blessed to have experienced: Ohio State - Varsity Club pregame in 1987 before a Buckeyes/Ducks game; Sailgating at UW vs. CU and UCLA; Nebraska - vs CU in the snow; OREGON (😍), Michigan, vs Notre Dame, FSU and Prime Time, and the Kordell Stewart Hail Mary game; Michigan State vs. Purdue, I'm not sure why?; SC vs. The Domers; and UCLA, in the Coli vs SC and the Rose Bowl vs. Nebraska. Bucket List: White-out in B1G Beaver Stadium at Penn State. [Not little beavers stadium up north somewhere.] Let's Play Ball!
  8. Charles, your keyboard to the Football Gods' ears. Now, Puddles needs the ball to bounce in the right direction and for Danno to stay aggressive but more seasoned and reasoned in his in-game coaching decisions. Online Pokies? Gaming or an adult entertainment site? 😁
  9. 11-1 = no worse than 11-2 post a champ game loss and the fifth or sixth PO seed. 12-1 = B1G champ, first-round bye and opening in the 2nd round in the Rose Bowl. It's doable and it would be sweet but if wishes were ducks ...
  10. Steinie's the Number 1 OC - Well Deserved Ranking the Top 25 OCs in college football in 2024 SATURDAYTRADITION.COM Offense wins championships. And these are the 25 best offensive minds in college football in 2024.
  11. A Low Opinion of B1G QB Play in 2024. Hammerin’ the B1G: Matt Hinton’s bleak B1G QB outlook for 2024 feels… like an unfortunate reality SATURDAYTRADITION.COM Matt Hinton did not have a favorable outlook for QB play in the B1G this season. That's not fun, but it's probably spot on for the 2024 season. But, Dillion looks good in the three spot.
  12. Come On Man! Better college football leadership would put USC in Big Ten title game TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM USC should play in Indianapolis in December in a Big Ten football game with championship implications … but it probably won’t. But with no Oregon and Ohio State and the tougher road games sans Michigan in LA, SC could lose to both LSU and Notre Dame and still make the B1G champ game. Oregon vs. SC in Indy would make the B1G Old Guard happy, right? I do 'get' Matt Zemek's thought that if you are in the PO, why play in the champ game? But lose the champ game your team is almost certainly in the field and if you don't play you miss the chance at a 1st-round bye.
  13. Anyone up for Trivial Pursuit? NCAA's punishment for Jim Harbaugh seems irrelevant WWW.YARDBARKER.COM There's closing the door after the horse has already fled and then there's closing the door after the horse has fled and taken a boat to a different state.
  14. Where Puddles starts, eh? But if Oregon does not win the B1G I'm hoping to be ranked third and not fourth. This would have Oregon as the fifth seed with a home game against the 12th G5 seed instead of playing an SEC or B1G opponent.
  15. Correcting an earlier take on the SEC champ and B1G champ 2nd round PO sites, it is 'likely' that the SEC champ will play in the Sugar Bowl and the B1G champ in the Rose Bowl. How the new 12-team College Football Playoff will work SPORTS.YAHOO.COM The top level of college football is adopting a 12-team postseason format this season for the first time. Here's how the field will be decided and when each game will be played. The majority of pundits believe that the B1G champ to the Rose and the SEC champ to the Sugar is a done deal with the ACC champ playing in the Peach Bowl and the B12 champ in the Fiesta Bowl unless UCF or West Virginia wins the B12 and Cal or Stanford wins the ACC.
  16. I feel sorry for the young man. Not good for the Longhorns. Texas RB CJ Baxter Expected to Miss 2024 Season Due to Knee Injury WWW.SI.COM A big loss for Texas.
  17. Does the House settlement make sense without a Congressional bar against future litigation? Why not take the hit, BK the NCAA, and cram down the amount of the judgment?
  18. Good for recruiting but: 2025 at Penn State, Northwestern, Rutgers; 2026 at OK St, Illinois, Michigan State, Ohio State; 2027 at Baylor, Nebraska, Maryland, Michigan; 2028 at Utah State (😒), Indiana, Minnesota, Penn State. Plus travel to Playoff sites. Whew!
  19. Geo, no props for blasting the Beavers in El Paso? The Conference of Notre Dame needs to disappear or ND should be required to play 13 regular season games with at least 10 games vs P4 competition. The ACC goes down and ND will join its hockey team in the B1G. I think ND takes a loss in the opener at A+M, finishes with 3 losses, and misses the playoff. Then hires Urban Meyer? Longhorns No. 1. I think Texas with the players it lost to the draft and with Sark as HC is getting too much preseason love. Sark, you're not playing in Kansas anymore. Will the close calls in the B12 be wins in the SEC? The SEC handed TX 2 wins vs. Vandy and Miss St but at Michigan, Oklahoma, UGA, and at A+M could be Ls. And Arkansas will put up a fight when Texas pays a visit. I don't think that Bond, 44 yards receiving in the Rose Bowl with 44 receptions for 621 yards and 4 TDs in 2023-24 at Bama, or Bolden, 5'8" and 160 pounds, coming in from Oregon State are going to seamlessly replace the two TX WRs who went in the first two rounds of the draft. And the 2 Big Boys on the DL who were high draft picks will not be easily replaced. Texas finished 35th in total D last season with a porous pass defense with two studs on the D line rushing the passer. (Oregon finished 22nd in total D.) Will the Longhorns D improve in the SEC? Caveat: I'm the genius who predicted that FSU would be 2-2 after the first four games. 😒
  20. Oregon had to serve the time for 'doing the crime?' No other schools were using 'runners' to help with recruiting, right? Cam wasn't paid to play and taking phantom courses at UNC was All Good because 'Regular Students' and not just Student Athletes, cheated. The NCAA cannot cancel out Jimmy and his alma mammy's title, so: Go to Your room Jimmy, without supper! 'Sorry, Judge, I'm already in my room and busy counting all my money. I do not plan to return to CFB and coach Liberty or one of the Pac-2. But, I Am So Ashamed. 😁 Proverbial mammary glands on a Bull. 134 P4 and G5 football teams need to say: NCAA, GOODBYE!
  21. CBS Sports Network's 'Inside College Football', is IMO, the best CFB wrap-up show and the best program for looking ahead to CFB's next week's biggest (BIGest?) games. Tonight, our buddy Rick Neuheisel picked Dillon G to win the Heisman and along with Golden Domer Aaron Taylor, picked OREGON to win the 2024-25 Natty. I recommended the Big Network to my OBD brothers and sisters and I strongly recommend tuning in weekly to Inside College Football.😁
  22. Coaches, do you want a do-over of the Domers ranked No. 7? I feel sorry for the young man but not for Notre Dame. How much trouble is Notre Dame in without Charles Jagusah? WWW.SATURDAYDOWNSOUTH.COM Notre Dame left tackle Charles Jagusah suffered a season-ending injury over the weekend, which could put the Irish's CFP hopes in jeopardy. With the champ game being a team's 16th or 17th game in 2024-25, roster depth is critical. Jagusah was going to replace the Chargers 1st round draft choice Joe Alt at OT. This injury almost immediately moved Texas A+M -1 to -1.5 depending on the oddsmaker from the Pick 'Em odds in the opener with ND before this injury. Losing the A+M game with Notre Dame's weak schedule will be difficult for the Irish to overcome. In all likelihood, if ND finishes 9-3 it will not make the PO field. Will it come down to ND's last regular season game at SC? And the Texas' RB, Baxter, who was going to replace UT RB Brooks, the first RB taken in the the 2024 draft, suffered a significant knee injury in practice yesterday. Keep on knockin' on a wooden Duck decoy. Texas reportedly receives devastating injury news regarding RB CJ Baxter WWW.SATURDAYDOWNSOUTH.COM Texas could be without one player expected to contribute in a major way with reports RB CJ Baxter has sustained a serious injury.
  23. Ohio State has the best-supporting cast for Will Howard. Will Howard the B12s 2nd string all-conference QB behind Dillon Gabriel, Quinn Ewers was 3rd string, and with Back-ups Moore and Novostad is inferior to Howard and Julian Sayin who has never played a snap of college ball. It's time for Puddles to open some small B1G minds. 😍 Top 12 QB setups entering 2024 season: These college teams are doing the most to support their signal-callers - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Ranking the college football programs with the most promising supporting casts.
  24. 20 players who could step up in 2024. Boise QB Malachi Nesson is No.3 on the list with a terrific RB to hand the ball off to. High chance of breaking out. Forecasting breakout chances for 20 college football players on the clock 247SPORTS.COM It's getting late for Class of 2021 players, while 2022 and 2023 signees should begin to show flashes this fall. Oregon's Jujuan Dickey has a Low Chance of breaking out. Duck's 2024 opponent QB Aiden Chiles of Michigan State is rated a Sure Thing to break out.
  25. Good luck to the Utes in the B12. Win the game in Stillwater vs. OK State and the home game against Arizona and cruise into the B12 title game.
