I pick Texas to majorly regress every year, and for the past 3 they've made me look dumb so I'm leaving them off.

I predict Miami will regress the most. 2025 was the year all the stars aligned from them and I think they're looking at too much roster attrition to even slip in the playoff.

As much as it pains me to say it because they are the most insufferable fanbase, I think ND is going to be a very tough team next year with a very good chance to walk into the playoffs undefeated.

Other than Nebraska? I think Texas Tech might, Alabama will continue to slide, Georgia also. Schools without massive NIL budgets are falling behind.

These are great calls.

Alabama was a 1 man team with Simpson last year and I get the feeling Georgia is running on fumes from their mini dynasty.

KU and Colorado will continue to regress. K-State may improve. Oklahoma will improve (not by much).

Suh finally wins his Heisman and the national championship trophy will be changed to Bo Pelini's cat.

I agree about Texas but not Miami. I think Miami is about to turn a corner.

Only a nincompoop would compare the last game of the season to the second game of the new season.

Getting your feelings hurt over evidence is hilarious.

Since I have you following me around crying again, going to bring it to your attention that Rogers has already beaten Iowa as many times as Rhule

🖕 :LOL:

Would make the ACC way more fun if so.

I think losing 8 starters on offense, most namely their stud QB, is going to hurt. I expect their defense to be stout and for their DC to be a hot commodity in the next coaching carousel.

Essegian and Sandfort will improve. Frager will be B10 Player of the Year.

Berke will regress wherever he lands. ;)

Nincompoop? What are you, an elf?

And how the hell is that not a worthy mention if the point to be made is that Iowa State, with a brand new team and coach, could be better in game 1 than Rhule at the end of year 3? If that's the case (yet to be proven), I'd say that's a VERY worthy talking point when evaluating our head coach.

Sorry, but you're the one coming off as the dull knife here my friend.

It is a worthy mention, and he knows it but he's supremely emotional

I wanna saw Iowa regresses, as I feel like Gronwhatevski was their best QB since Nate Something.

Knowing them, they'll claw their way into an 8 win season that we'll collectively pretend wouldn't be good enough for us.

I'm gonna go with Indiana regressing the most. As for improvement, I'll go with Virginia Tech. We'll see, I suppose.

8 wins is the same as 6 wins. 5 wins is the same as 0 wins. If you don't make the playoffs, your season was as lame as me in bed.
