He's the best in college ball. It ain't close. He will be the biggest branch off the Saban tree.

Also Mendoza is exceptional in his intelligence and consistency. Indiana is one fucking hell of a team.

Moore btw is a nice prospect, but slotting him comes with a metric fuck ton of projection.

JMU about to be the official feeder program to the Big-10.
Chesney, up to 9 JMU transfers

Edit: 10 transfers

Also gonna say again that as fun as the playoff system is, I miss watching all the bowl games from my couch with wings and beer on New Year's day and the associated days around it. There was always controversy and complaints about the rankings thereafter, but the bowl games felt alive in a way these don't. We've lost something there in my opinion.

I agree. And most players played in every Bowl game. Now all bowls that are not a part of the playoff, those games are like an early spring game, with half the team opting out for either draft purposes or portal reasons.

I also find it funny that these teams end up winning 2 or 3 bowl tropies in one playoff season. Plus a national championship trophy.

In 1995 the Bowl schedule was:
Aloha Bowl (Kansas vs UCLA)
Copper Bowl (Texas Tech vs Air Force)
Alamo Bowl (Texas A & M vs Michigan)
Sun Bowl (Iowa vs Washington)
Independence Bowl (LSU vs Michigan St)
Holiday Bowl (K-State vs Colorado St.)
Liberty Bowl (E.Carolina vs Stanford)
Carquest Bowl (N.Carolina vs Arkansas)
Peach Bowl (Virginia vs Georgia)
Sugar Bowl (Va Tech vs Texas)
Outback Bowl (Penn St vs Auburn)
Florida Citrus Bowl (Tennessee vs Ohio St)
Gator Bowl (Syracuse vs Clemson)
Cotton Bowl (Colorado vs Oregon)
Rose Bowl (USC vs Northwestern)
Orange Bowl (Florida St vs Notre Dame)
Fiesta Bowl (Nebraska vs Florida)

17 Bowls and at the time, that seemed like too many. There were 41 this year and that's not counting the first round of the CFP (4 games) but with the CFP, Bowl games aren't that important anymore.....You get a bowl game...and you get a bowl game....and you get a bowl game........................they been too diluted for years now.

I’m gonna keep pounding the table for WR Elijah Sarratt in R2 if available. Also props to JMU feeding Indiana with their head coach Cignetti and 14 JMU players through the portal 2 years ago. I am a JMU alumni so it’s bitter sweet to acknowledge that.

Sarratt sure plays like a Ram WR. He’s awesome

Surprised it was such a blowout. It’s good to see a well-coached team play football. Not just a few stars prancing around making big plays. Hopefully more colleges take this approach. Especially in this transfer-portal era that threatens to kill the college sport.

Indiana is just superior to everyone this year. Really shocked none of their Coordinators were poached for Head Coaching jobs, Oregon lost both OC Will Stein (Kentucky) and DC Tosh Lupoi to Cal. Both Bryant Haines (DC) and Mike Shanahan (OC) should have been on many short lists.

Now Shanahan is not related to the Shanahan's of the NFL, but you would think that both of them would have been spoken to, but I don't think they were even interviewed.

The major difference in this game was youth (Oregon) vs seniors (Indiana.) I heard Oregon sent something like 18 players to to NFL last year. Considering Oregons youth, they played pretty well this year. Indiana is nearly playing like an NFL team. They earned a well deserved win and will take the natty I’m pretty sure. Cignetti should change his name to CigNATTY.
