It is going to be really interesting how schools manage expectations as these mega conferences come together. I am not suggesting that the Indiana fanbase have outsized expectations for their new coach. I am just looking at a conference that has Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan State, Iowa, Wisconsin, USC, UCLA, Washington and Oregon and wondering if around 11th place in the conference is good enough for any fan base. Better yet, what does coming in 11th in that sort of conference mean to a fan base?

At least with the new division-less setup, Indiana doesn't have to play Ohio State-Michigan-Penn State every year. One can hope for a relatively "easy" schedule light on the powerhouses and heavy on the Illinois-Rutgers-Northwestern type of opponents.
Personally, I realize that IU will almost surely never rise to the level of even a Penn State. But maybe an Iowa level of success is possible with the right coaching staff and support of the football program from administration. Last edited by Kodos : 11-27-2023 at 06:41 PM. |

It's gonna be like EPL - 5-6 teams compete every year, a bunch in the middle are somewhat happy just to be in a big conference and making good money, and a fraction at the bottom are worried they are going to get dropped for the flavor of the month program looking to move up.

K-State too, it appears.
Treshaun Ward was 1.B. running back for FSU last year splitting carries with Benson and Toafili and he left to presumably get more carries in a less-full RB room. He ended up running for 15 more yards, lost more than zero games, and is on the move again.

As well as their leading tackler LB and a 6th year DL. I assume the dude who started at QB against FSU is too injured to play in a bowl game? So theyre down to #3?

Petrino has the weirdest coaching resumes you'll ever see. Just a little bit of everything.
Props to him for working his way back I guess. Not many people who were at that level would have gone all the way back to a middling FCS school and turned it around. Especially at that age and after all the money he's made. |

I don't understand the rankings. Is it based on who they think is the best team or how the team performed?
If it's based on performance, Michigan should be #1 since they have had a much tougher schedule than Georgia. If it's based on just how good they think a team is, Alabama should not be #8 behind teams like Oregon. |

It's not perfectly consistent of course, but also some of that is debatable. If you ask me, I think Oregon is probably a better team than Alabama.

A done deal (almost). The majority of Hog forum seem to be positive about this. Sources: Bobby Petrino to be Arkansas offensive coordinator - ESPN Quote:

Petrino lucked out when Ryan Mallett left Michigan.
Our QB1 KJ Jefferson is a big guy, has more mobility, decent but not quite the same arm. He's got another season so hope he comes back. Gives Petrino a chance to recruit the QB he wants. Have to be fair and manage my expectations. This season has been a stinker. Hog fans need to give Petrino at least 1 rebuilding year. Last edited by Edward64 : 11-29-2023 at 06:58 AM. |

No one is mentioning the 0.5 over/under in the 1st half for Iowa?
A little surprised. Our defense scores.

I remember at some point we were asking on here what might be the worst job in CFB weighing fan expectations vs. ability to meet those expectations, and I think I remember Nebraska being the team that came up the most.

QB Grayson McCall appears not to be done with college football despite the injury sustained this season for Coastal Carolina. He has one year of eligibility left and enters the portal as a graduate transfer

Nebraska went 67-27 under Bo Pillini. They are 43-64 since firing him.

I did not realize Pelini was the third Nebraska head coach after Tom Osborne retired. Frank Solich's firing might have been more egregious. From Solich (58-19) to Bill Callahan and then from Pelini to Mike Riley. Ouch! The program was probably going to make a slow decline anyways but man, it is bad when you shitcan to very successful coaches for less successful ones twice in that short amount of time.

He's a difficult one to judge. I think JMU is somewhat similar to UCF, Appy State, and a couple others where it's not necessarily the most difficult job to win at. Due to his family ties to WVU he's been on the radar for several years but with his age it was time for him to take something if he ever wanted a P5 job. |

Coastal Carolina gets its bowl game-in Hawaii on Dec 23 against San Jose State. Given how they played their last game, not too much to get excited for at this point.

So Notre Dame fired their WR coach and now at least 5 of their WRs are in the portal. I’m not sure how they can run an offense in their bowl game.
