Wagler 6, Boswell 52, and Andrej 54 in the latest ESPN mock draft

I have no idea how that ranking is determined but wasn’t he just the lead on Zens and Landon Davis? There seems to be a formula bust or it’s a fake tweet if that makes you the # 1 recruiter. Also, who did Antigua lead on this cycle beyond Morillo? Assume Coleman is coded to one of them...

Committee chair said Illinois was a 4 seed in 2024 and they bumped us up to a 3 when we won the Big Ten tourney (if one wants to argue they did that after the semifinal not the final I wouldn’t argue they’re probably right though) They do start seeding teams Wednesday or Thursday though so they...

Vegas picks ahead of Nashville. So to get Nashville, Iowa and Nebraska would need to be picked ahead of us.

It’s strange that Nike never sells our authentic or replica shorts anymore. They still sell plenty of other schools that seemingly have a much smaller fan base than us (not even any of the regular ones let alone the throwbacks). I would always buy the shorts but haven’t been able to find any...

My personal hope is that the season gets moved up a week to deal with the playoff schedule challenges. Many of these rivalries (like OSU Michigan) used to be played the weekend before Thanksgiving anyways. Championship week then is Thanksgiving weekend, first playoff round doesn’t conflict with...

So they have us going 7-5 and losing the last two. If we win 8 games I don’t believe there is much possibility of slipping below Music City and definitely not with 9. They could only jump us with teams with 1 less win (I.e., 6-6 Penn State would jump a 7-5 team but not 8-4).

Seems like a coin flip game to me given both defenses are terrible. I’d probably lean towards Rutgers given extra motivation following last year

I’m pretty sure that the big 3 networks have exclusive rights to air Big Ten on broadcast TV in their desired windows, so this means NBC had to get a special exemption to air this game at the same time as Big Noon

Minnesota was only ranked in the CFP poll and not AP when we beat them in 2021. Minnesota was only ranked in the Coaches Poll and not the AP poll when we beat them in 2014. See below from the website. The stat from Fornelli likely should’ve specified AP ranked wins because most TV broadcasts...

Do we think the Big Ten schedule is dropping this week? It came out on Thursday of this week last year

Fox must’ve had 3rd pick this week (agree that there’s no way they aren’t picking our game given the choice).

I bet FOX will six day window it to see who wins of our game vs IU. Or maybe they know that Iowa is such a dumpster fire that they’ll choose us regardless.

Anyone know the number of presale tickets each iFund member will be able to request?

Believe it’s not quite a Sellout and rather WMU is.
