Yep and that's what they'll use to keep them out: a September win.

Texas had several close games too against less than great teams but that will get swept under the rug.

'Eyeball' test tells me Oregon looks like the best team outside of Georgia.

If they get in, it means Washington lost, so then it would be a Texas vs FSU situation

There is only a small chance of teams getting "booted" from a conference. Don't think it has ever happened.

Temple was kicked out of the Big East after the 2004 season, so it has happened.

That SHOULD be how it goes.

We'll see.

Yeah, I’m thinking too logically, not thinking ESPN style. More I think, ESPN probably wants Texas in there for eyeballs. A lot of big ten connections on the committee though.

Have to give it to the Hawks... This is elite Twitter trolling (look at the stadium ribbon board)

Okay, that’s funny.

Ferentz starts nearly crying after every game/interview anymore.

Trying to salvage his legacy from all the scandals in the last several years.

It won't be done like kicking out the lower tier team, it will be more like leaving them behind. More like Washington St Oregon St. The big schools all leave the SEC to join the big schools from the B1G in some new super conference and they just don't invite the lower tier schools to the party.

Really kicking Oregon state when they are down by taking their coach as well.

Again I think the super conference would cause an overall drop in interest and viewership but this isn’t the thread for that.

Cheering for OSU to beat BYU today. Would totally suck if the Big 12 championship game is OUT.

 

[FriendlySpartan]

Very anxious vibes from the Big House, gonna be a great game!

That's a good hire if true

 

[CYedUp]

If coach Moore wins this game for Michigan, do they just call him a system coach?

I have to ask a question about this metric.... Minnesota is at 992, but the Naval Academy is 969...if I had a child who was interested in both institutions, I would think MN would be the better choice, correct? Or is this a meaningless statistic meant to reward a Power 5 college whose football team is having a bad season...I can understand why parents these days experience existential dread regarding their charges....Geez Louise....what a mess....I do not envy any parent in this environment.

I would think the Naval Acadamy would be the better choice. By far. It's the freaking Naval Academy.

 

[ISUTex]

It’s only as valuable as ESPN wants it to be to fit their narrative.

Do conference titles or that 13th game matter this year?

 

[Kinch]

The ghost of Brian Ferentz is in the Big House.

 

[CYedUp]

Both teams play calling not to lose...

If possible pro player, maybe Minny, for a job and life after, Navy.
