    Effed up playoff system

    Seems messed up to consider the ACC and Big 12 to be equally worthy of spots as the B1G and SEC, but who knows, in 10 years things could look a lot different. What if I had told you 3 years ago that Indiana would be #1 in the country going into the 2025 CFP...

    Effed up playoff system

    How about this...3 divisions, and they are determined by draft. The top 3 teams by record from the previous year are in 3 different divisions. In February (a dead period for CFB interest), they will have a live draft (snake order) to determine which teams will be in their division the following...

    Effed up playoff system

    Have everyone start week 0 (one week earlier). I would also be concerned about the # of games, but cutting a game or 2 from the regular season would cost a ton on money (I would assume) from TV contracts and missing out on home gates/concessions. I suppose you could take the same plan as I...

    ISU Out of Bowl Game

    This is a whole 'nother thread. Which bowl becomes the most desirable with the ability to win free product for the rest of your life?

    Effed up playoff system

    This will never happen for a multitude of reasons, but this is what I want: 32 teams. The P2 (B1G at 18 teams; SEC at 16 teams) each pick their top 8 teams. I don't care how they do it, leave it up to the conferences. Those teams play 3 rounds to determine conference champs. They start on...

    That would be a very non-KF sort of move to "recruit over" one of our current position coaches. I guess we have churned through quite a few WR coaches, though.

    Our guy didn't make the list (edit: this was from 2023): https://x.com/BigGameBoomer/status/1669398730859003911?lang=en Maybe start making some calls and doing some poaching?

    PSU and ISU schadenfreude

    I am fully aware that what hurts ISU helps us...but I just can't bring it upon myself to wish harm on them (ducks from the incoming thrown objects). I have friends that have gone there or worked there, and I like having another competent program in state. I won't shed tears if Campbell leaves...

    Just at the WR position, that applies to Nick Easley, Charlie Jones, Kaden Wetjen, Seth Anderson, and Sam Phillips (our leading WR last season). I just want someone young enough we can get multiple years out of them, because our transfer portal acquisitions from those lower levels always take a...

    Israel Polk from Akron has 2 years of eligibility left, and had 8 TDs this year and averaged 15.9 yds/rec. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fXPip7CkiQ Gotta love the MAC, they play zero defense. I think our best hope is for a smaller school guy who has made some noise and is looking to step...

    If you are 7 foot tall, or if you are 6'5", 300+ labs...you don't really get to choose your hobbies/passions. Sports are thrust upon you, whether you like it or not. For those of us also passionate about sports, we think about what a blessing it would be to be born with those gifts. But for...

    Sagarin Final Ratings After Regular Season

    Had Wisky not shat the bed at home vs. Maryland, all of a sudden their season results seem a lot more acceptable considering that schedule. They had 2 ranked wins (2 more than us).

    BCF Toys has them at #17: If you are curious, our offensive FEI was 56 (we were 50 last year). Defensive rating was #9, and ST rating was #1.

    I thought Proctor was a sure-fire top-5, but I hadn't really been following things. I just looked around at the first 5 mock drafts that came up in google search, and I say him projected at #2, #5, #14, #25, and #32. Pretty wild to see that kind of variability, but I suppose any yahoo can throw...

    transfer portal news

    Teams like Minnesota and ISU have had great success with big WRs with a large catch-radius within a RPO scheme. When those LBs creep up to stop the run, if you can wing it towards one of those guys on-time, it doesn't have to be perfectly on-target. Lester has used RPO quite a bit at previous...

    Records for the Fry-Ferentz Era at Iowa

    Absolutely, all of the FB players that come though my classes are outstanding. But I also know that across 8-10 semesters of an academic career, if you missed out on finals one semester, the impact on your academic development would be negligible. All of the learning has taken place up to that...

    More Nebbie Dysfunction

    You know who else has emphasized stability? Oregon. They have FIRED one coach since 1977 (Helfrich was let go after going 11-2, 13-2, 9-4, and then 4-8). They have had others leave for other positions (Chip Kelly for the NFL, Cristobal for Miami, and Taggart for FSU). Their replacements have...

    Leistikow and Dochterman agreed that WR was the #1 transfer portal position. Here is the current WR room... Here is the production from this season... We are graduating Phillips (1st WR in yards, 0 TD), Gill (2nd WR in yards, 1 TD), Wetjen (4th WR in yards, 1 TD), and Seth Anderson (6th WR...
