2008 National Champ

I feel like both Vaki and Jackson are expected to be team leaders and starters this year so they’ve already had their breakout. I’ve got my eye on Medlock pushing past Karene Reid by season’s end and Money Parks being the top pass-catcher (non-Kuithe division).

Relegation gets brought up about once a decade (and I’m in favor of it). Here are some articles from 2012 after the last round of conference realignment. SBNation

Classic example of moving the goalpoasts and then posting inaccurate information. Of your list above: Nate Johnson, Travis Wilson, Troy Williams and Cooper Bateman were not finalists per the link.

I don’t believe I said anything about Costelli or Tuttle being finalists. Nate Johnson was listed in the article and I added two names that I knew had been involved but weren’t listed without analysis.

Tuttle and Costelli were also Elite 11.

17 picks will lower your rating

did it work?

I’ve seen a bunch of articles lately which say that there’s a very good chance that all 12 Pac starters this year will be transfers. Patiently waiting your turn just isn’t part of the mindset for QB’s these days so I think you always have to be ready and willing to augment your QB room from the portal.

I’ve felt since both Johnson and Rose…[Read more]

They only gave up 20 per last year. Doubt they’ll double that

The speculation is that his Utah offer is conditional upon the conclusion of his case which is supposed to be decided in August. I wouldn’t expect to hear anything prior.

or the two of your are completely ignoring the possibility that Andy Ludwig didn’t invent a whole new offense in 2021 that was based on 13 personnel.

@ TCU, home against Nebraska and Colorado State in that order. They do get Stanford at home week 7 so there’s a pretty good chance at 2 wins (CSU being the other). Arizona, ASU, WSU are probably toss-ups but they won’t be favored.

Beat Stanford (new head coach) & CSU and then win two of Neb (new head coach), UA, ASU (new head coach), WSU gets…[Read more]

He may have but the positions play differently at the college level. Ritchie certainly excelled in the same role Bishop has been in the last two seasons which in Scalley’s D requires more a SS skillset.

Your typical HS receiver probably runs around a 4.7, TE’s in the seam aren’t as much of a threat and QB’s aren’t as capable of hitting their…[Read more]

Pretty much all the DB room is lacking is a true centerfielder (Marcus Williams, Reggie Porter type). If this kid can allow Vaki to play the hybrid nickel (think Nephi 2021) it’s a good pickup. Moving Vaki, Ritchie or Bishop to Free will work but it’s not a natural position for any of them

Logan Kendall?

Tough call. Do we eliminate Head Coaches who clearly act as titular OC’s like Ryan Day, Kiffin, Sarkisian, Riley, Dillingham etc?

I don’t pretend to know the value of every current OC in FBS but Kendal Briles and Jeff Lebby are definitely ahead of Ludwig. Ryan Grubb at UW, the guy Saban hired away from Notre Dame (Rees?), Monken (is he back…[Read more]
