GIGO! Even if No. 27 is correct, the 27th most valuable program is going to make the cut. This and the article on the 70-team 'Super League' make me wonder if it's April 1st and not the 4th. It's a loooong off season.

DOA! Why would the Power 2 go for this instead of expanding to 20 teams each? The B1G and the SEC will receive, according to the latest calculation as reported by Jon Wilner, 59% of the Playoff pot. Why would the Power 2 agree to share with 30 more teams? Teams that have no hope of winning a title. Who are these 20 people and are any of the 20 affiliated with the Power 2? The marketplace has and will continue to sort out CFB wheat from the chaff.

Love It! But I believe they are headed to the We Can't Compete?

OPM? Other People's Mullens?

Good take and thoughts on the Trojans in 2024. But for 1 guy, it's an entirely new D staff. Including bringing in a guy who coached the Rams DL for the last 4 seasons; a line that included Mike Donald. Absent Grinch, SC's tackling looked better in the Holiday Bowl than it did the entire season. Just verbal 'commits' but SC is recruiting very well in 2025 including on the D side of the ball. SC finally has its NIL act together. Riley knows that the D must improve or he's gone. Take out the 2 OOC games vs LSU and Notre Dame that have no bearing on conference standings. SC has an easier conference schedule than the Ducks in 2024. USC will likely be favored in every conference game except Michigan in Ann Arbor and SC's roster is at least equal to Michigan's 2024 roster. Penn State and Wisconsin trip to LA. I don't see Minnesota, Rutgers, Maryland, Nebraska, 2024's UW, and 2024's UCLA as games the Trojans can't win. 5 B1G teams enter 2024 with Blue Chip Rosters, Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, Penn State, and USC. You could of course be spot on and SC will again go 8-4. If so, no matter what it costs, I think Riley is gone.

I like the call but upsets happen in The Game. I do not see Michigan winning in 2024 but all of the pressure will be on Day and tOSU. 8 home games help the Buckeyes 2024 cause.

In 2024, Ohio State has the easiest conference and out-of-conference schedule of B1G title contenders. TOSU, Oregon, Michigan, Penn State, and USC have the best odds of winning the conference.

Whetting the appetite. Dan Lanning will be up on the 3rd day of 3-day of B1G football media days. Big Ten Announces Dates for 2024 Football Media Days - Sports Illustrated Indiana Hoosiers News, Analysis and More WWW.SI.COM The Big Ten Conference announced the dates for its annual football media days in 2024. The event will be held from Tuesday, July 23 through Thursday, July 25 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

When the purloined money runs out, it will be even worse. These 2 do not sign 4* and 5* players now. What happens when they stop paying the MW for inventory and join the MW? These were and are as of now two G5 teams that were carried by the rest of the conference they just ripped off. Men's CBB coach Tinkle should be gone, but the Beavers can't cover the buyout, and what kind of CBB coach will the Beavers be able to attract?

It's close to a total rebuild for Michigan, players and coaches both. The guy projected to start at QB ran the ball on occasion from the QB spot last season but he did not attempt a pass. Depending on the quality and experience of QBs entering the portal come 4/16, I believe Michigan will be a buyer.

College Football News has an interesting scenario. Ohio State finishes 12-0/9-0 USC finishes 10-2/8-1 with losses to LSU in Las Vegas and Michigan in Ann Arbor. Oregon finishes 11-1/8-1 with the loss coming against Ohio State in Eugene. Oregon defeats Michigan in Ann Arbor. USC does not play Ohio State and drops the game in Ann Arbor. I have no idea which team the B1G tiebreaker would send to play Ohio State in Indy. https://collegefootballnews.com/schedules/college-football-schedules-predictions-for-every-game-spring-2024#big-ten-football-schedules-predictions

Traveler is my Dark Horse favorite to come out of nowhere and capture the B1G title in 2024. Game one versus LSU in Las Vegas will give us the first look at which of the Tigers and Trojans rehab of the defense was the most successful. Both will score points even without a Heisman winner at QB but will they be able to stop anyone's offense? One reason I like Troy's potential to make it to Indianapolis? USC in 2024 does not play Oregon and does not play Ohio State. SC plays both Penn State, coming off a home game versus UCLA, and Wisconsin in LA. A loss to LSU and Notre Dame will not affect the B1G conference standings. If SC goes 8-1 in the conference and Oregon goes 8-1 with the loss versus Ohio State, I believe SC would hold the tiebreaker vs Oregon if Ohio State finishes 9-0 or 8-1 in the conference. 247 Sports projects Oregon playing tOSU in the champ game. Big Ten football predictions: Way-too-early order of finish, final records for 2024 season 247SPORTS.COM Picking the wins and losses for every Big Ten team. If USC and Oregon trip to a champ game played in Indy, will the game sell out? I imagine many long-time B1G fans would not be happy with this matchup. Oregon vs. tOSU or SC vs. tOSU would delight the folks at Fox and perhaps, challenge the SEC for the number of champ game viewers? Fun stuff to ponder.

ND, I was blessed to get a pass years ago when Freddie Couples won the Masters. I followed Freddy and Davis Love on Thursday's 1st round. The two good friends were very comfortable playing together and had a 'long drive' contest on every hole but the par 3s. The courses I belong to in Aiken are, like Augusta, very hilly. You really cannot get a feel for the elevation changes on television. Four days in a row is a lot of walking. I'll be glued to the tube. Tough to watch a golf tournament from the course and know what is happening. Over the years in Las Vegas, I belonged to the Desert Inn, Spanish Trail, TPC, and Southern Highland courses. I managed to play bad golf on all of these courses and Shadow Creek where, because my boss was Steve Wynn's mentor, I played twice a month. A whole lot of excellent Dawgs players on the PGA tour. Heck of a program in Athens. Bubba was entertaining. He went after the ball like no one since Arnie.

Charles, love these posts regarding the Diamond Ducks. Reminds me of waking up in the AM and reading the story on the Red Sox game in the Boston Globe. The young men are touching all the bases; great stuff.

Man, it's tough to refrain from the mile away obvious comment here.

This guy could not keep his mouth shut, not that it mattered much, during Pac-12 media negotiations and he leaves behind a whole lot of red ink in Tucson.

Hart? Would be a great hire to complete the RB coach poaching trifecta but the salary would have to be in the range of $750,000 and up.

Agreed! But lots of $ reasons for taking the new gig. Oregon salary: $400,000.00. tOSU's RB coach salary before leaving for Michigan: $772,500.00. Michigan DC, Wink Martindale, is one of the if the highest paid assistant coach in the nation. 2024 - $2.3M; 2025 - $2.5M; 2026 - $$2.7M. And nationwide, the cost-of-living in Columbus, Ohio and in Ann Arbor, Michigan is reasonable. Less than the COL in Eugene; Eugene's COL is 24.8% higher than the COL in Columbus. Chip's cut in salary was softened by the COL in LA being 102% more expensive than in Columbus. Oregon should hire former Michigan RB coach Mike Hart, who was not happy with being passed over for the Michigan HC job, to complete the RB coach B1G triangle of RB coach hires: Ohio State to Michigan; Oregon to Ohio State; Michigan to Oregon. Can Oregon compete with the asistant coaching salaries paid by Ohio State and Michigan ?
