officiating in that vandy game at the end was crazy. If only I had had a water bottle . . . just kidding.

Quinn on this list twice - injured both seasons, right?

Really appreciate this analysis. As I started reading, the first question that popped into my mind - is it more on the offense (to stay on the field longer) or the defense (to get off the field quicker). Regardless of what the status show, last year, it felt like our offense went into long stretches of 3 and out in many games. I'd love to see more opening possession (on offense) sustained drives that result in touchdowns (or at least points). It may not be statistical, but it seems that psychologically, if you can score on a methodical opening drive, it has a lot more effect that just that seven points. Thanks for going down this rabbit hole!

Will the pollsters have the guts to move teams ahead of ND when those teams beat ranked opponents, or will the pollsters just keep ND where it is because they look the part walloping the inferior opponents that dot their schedule? There are easily 4-5 teams that could have a great record with much better wins . . . but there's only room for 1 ahead of ND based on this early take.

You need to adjust for inflation (and Arch's relative worth compared to Lee Majors).

Provably some other 2 star that leads them to another natty.

I have other virtues - don’t need this one 🙂

It should be noted that playing a softer schedule keeps guys fresh and healthy. They were blowing out competition most of the year. That’s not to take anything away from their amazing coach and discipline and play. Just pointing out that a key injury can throw off everything. They avoided that. Would they have avoided it with some other tougher schedules? I think they are still the best team in college football as they are now and if they stayed healthy with anyone’s schedule, they still would be but would they have stayed as healthy.

Who would you rather listen to in the second half of a blowout - this crew or Kirk and Reece?

He may just stay in the locker room and watch K-pop too.

I had the same type of 10 speed!

100%. But you need coaches that see the right potential and maximize it. In Sark we trust.

Indiana is duck hunting but loaded for bear.

Hard to believe Indiana almost lost to Penn State.

Is it just me or does half the Indiana team look like they are grown men?
