Posted 4 hours ago4 hr Administrator I know I have written a title like you see above every fall for the last couple of years, but this year it is much more real, with a much more daunting future than I could have imagined.

2 hours ago2 hr Moderator Thank you, Charles. A terrific look at the roster turnover being experienced in today's CFB. Roster management in the NFL is a piece of cake compared to what we see today in college.On paper, the 2025 schedule should help OBD's champ run cause. This schedule is the easiest from last season's schedule through the 2028 season. The top third of the schedule, the first four games, sees OBD with a significant roster advantage over the four opponents, further helped by three home games. A perfect segue into a Week 5 White Out. This season, OBD does not play a P4 out-of-conference opponent on the road; not the case, as currently scheduled, in 2026, at OK State, and 2027, at Baylor. Only two teams ranked in the preseason AP, Penn State and Indiana, are on this season's schedule, and OBD plays the Hoosiers at home. The off weeks are optimal and not the crazy eight games in a row against B1G competition that OBD faced in 2024.Hopefully, the roster gels before Week 5 at Penn State, followed by a bye week and then Indiana. Let's start with a W against Montana State!
