What do they do with transfers? I’m thinking about this way too hard, aren’t I.

One of the Ducks 10 was Anthony Brown who is terrible. Who’s the worst player from your school on that list?

Iowa has a vaguely competent game manager QB who can hit some short/mid throws rather than Spencer Petras so it would be hard not to improve somewhat.

I did notice that in the contract it seems to say 25ppg rather than offense scoring X PPG so it’ll be funny if (when) he gets bailed out by the defense.

How is that offensive line? If it's not solid then... good luck with that.

I think it's probably alright but I'm basically basing that on the perception that Iowa sends OL dudes to the NFL somewhat regularly and that they have Big Beefy Boys

yea the French like basketball. it's probably like the third or fourth most popular sport behind soccer and rugby. They're not on Spain or Turkey levels but they're not far off it.

I understand the recency bias angle and don't totally disagree, but the other other side of this is that if you're trying to be a conference/playoff contender, playing a Power 5 game so early can effectively end your season right when it starts. That's not always the case, of course -- depending on how the rest of the year shakes out, that loss may not matter -- but it has definitely taken the wind out of the sails of plenty of preseason contenders while others were artificially propped up by their cupcake-filled Septembers. It tends to all come out in the wash anyway, but that's my point: These scenarios largely provide the same results, just on different timelines. Tomato can opponents are tomato can opponents, regardless of when they're scheduled.

When the SEC schedules early season P5 opponents, those opponents who have a 9 game conference schedule don’t get a November cupcake game. I think that’s part of the objection.

Sure, but we're also losing an early, risk-free tune-up game and playing a challenging opponent who could derail our season immediately. Whether you're playing your cupcakes early or late, they still provide the same opportunity to rest starters, get young backups experience, tinker with the playbook, etc. Ultimately, though, I agree with the sentiment that no one forced those conferences to go to a nine-game schedule, so it's a self-inflicted martyr complex that gets old listening to people whine about.

e: Also, the ACC still has eight conference games, often with a late-season cupcake, and no one seems to care about that for some reason, so it's not even an SEC-specific issue either.

yeah, but the opponent is also losing that tune up opportunity. if a SEC team and a Big10 team play an early season challenging game the SEC team gets an additional cupcake late in the season which the Big10 team does not, and the Big 10 team bears all of the same risks. I don't think its all that big deal but teams in conferences that play 9 conference games are generally at a disadvantage overall.

I think there’s a fair amount of workload management and running back committees and if I get bored later today I might try to run some numbers.

Plus that looks like rush yards only and I suspect without looking at data that receptions by RBs are up significantly.

I'm just kind of baffled what happens to Oregon and Washington if the Big Ten truly isn't interested (or at least isn't interested enough to vote them in). Do we end up with something goofy like Oregon, Washington, Cal, and Stanford joining the ACC?

It'll be interesting to see what they settle for (I assume, since current news hasn't been great), and how that works out.

All they needed to do was be sort of competitive it seems from my read and the new commish who is at least cooler couldn't make that happen? Or maybe he did somehow in which case he's a wizard.
