I sadly think the utter lack of QB play will doom the Gophers, even against a marginal UMi.

I'm thinking you might be right.. Believe it or not Michigan has held all of its opponents under 300 yards and is ranked 8th nationally in Total Defense.

An odd, low scoring 10-6, 13-9, etc game wouldn't surprise me one bit.

That doesn't mean anything if they can't find a quarterback who does something other than lob the ball.

Jameis is a complete fool and the FSU administration has to be thrilled to get rid of him after this season.

And thrilled with possibly 2 national titles. Sometimes the economic payoff to the univ. is worth the bad publicity or later sanctions.

I loved when gopher basketball was winning the big ten and cheating on school work. Some of my favorite memories despite the later damage.

I had a feeling this might be UCLA's game to try and reassert themselves in the top 10...here they come.
 
Re: 2014-2015 College Football Thread: A New Era Begins..

I guess I should've checked to see if UCLA's starter was back. Or if ASU's was back for that matter.

I think UCLA will drop a couple this year, but last night's win was probably enough to jump MSU and possibly ND, since even blowout wins over Wyoming and Cuse will definitely not look as good as a blowout at ASU.

I think you're right, but UCLA still needs to be more consistent, particularly on the offensive line. They were on another level than ASU the last three quarters of that game last night. It looked like the UCLA team everyone had as the **** National Title Game participant. UCLA has a brutally tough schedule, but all of their tough games are at the Rose Bowl outside of a tricky little trip to Washington. Still though, Utah, Oregon, Arizona, at Washington, USC, and Stanford, that's a tough slate.

WMU down 11-7 to VT. Only news because they hadn't scored in other 3 matchups. (0-124)

Was referring to the bloated conference that resulted in us seeing less of Minnesota, Denver & NoDak and more of BSU and UNO.

When the B1G was 10 teams, Michigan and OSu were the teams you wanted to see in your stadium. When the WCHA was 10 teams, Minny and NoDak were the teams you wanted to see in your arena. With smaller conferences, we got those every year in hockey and every other year in football.

When expansion watered down the conferences, we saw less of those and more of the mid and bottom teams. Mid and bottom teams are fine - gotta pile up some wins of course - but not at the expense of the marquee match ups.

Which it's why the ultimate college hockey conference should be 8 teams = 28 conference games.
