    I love league Championship games; 16 team playoff does not add a week while 24 team format does

    With 18 teams in the Big 10 and no championship game there is not going to be a clear league champion s good number of years. Teams that finish with identical records who dont play each other during the regular season will go through a layer of goofy tiebreakers. Dont expand the CFP past 16...

    24 Team Playoff

    Not necessarily if expanded to 16 teams because a 12 team and 16 team format is the same number of rounds or weekends of game. With either format after the first week you are down to 8 teams remaining. It is the 24 team format that adds and extra week therefore pushing the league Championship...

    24 Team Playoff

    A sixteen team playoff is better, more fair as each team playing that wins plays the same number of games. Those early matchups will have some pretty good high ranked teams that have to play an extra game all through the playoffs if they keep winning. If you cant find the very close to the top...

    OT Wahsington at Purdue

    We will see if Wash. head coach can rally the players and probably save his job but not his contract money which he gets no matter what

    OT Wahsington at Purdue

    Yes, a lot of G6 and the UNI type leagues play any night they can to get some revenue and not have any other games televised at the same time.

    Wisconsin vs UCLA

    You are correct, UCLA needs to lose a few and the hawks control their destiny and the win-loss column by playing Wisky

    Teams Compared to Preseason Expectations

    It will be interesting to see if ucla can keep winning without their QB?

    Teams Compared to Preseason Expectations

    With the hawks having one of the youngest teams in D1 and losing so many starters I would think and place Iowa in the better than expected group. At the start of the season most prognosticators probably had the hawks being 3-3 or 4-2 at this point. There were projected losses to Mich and OSU...

    What games are you watching Saturday?

    Ohio St at Indiana is HUGE for both teams. Can IU keep up the winning play as Nebby had them on the ropes and now an even stronger team is coming to town. If jNW is real they should win on the road but we shall see.

    IOWA just so happens to have 2 VERY GOOD QBs; still up in the air who will start at Minnesota

    Well that is being real positive about a hawk player, not.

    IOWA just so happens to have 2 VERY GOOD QBs; still up in the air who will start at Minnesota

    Well they still have nearly 2 weeks of practice to see if one seems sharper than the other. I think Hank will start if he is 100%. Heck might have a quicker read or other intangibles but I have read and seen that Hank can throw that 30 yard out pattern and maybe the 50 yard deep ball better...

    Does Iowa want to see Nebraska and Wisconsin in the Too 25?

    I think the Big 10 still has a championship game so it would be nice to win the Big 10 championship. Does that get an auto berth into the CFP?

    sort of OT: James Madison's strength of schedule is 133rd; does their conference get an auto CFP bid?

    A recent thread had a link to an early CFP playoff list with the hawks at #10. Yeah the hawks could get in with only one more loss or an 11-1 record. The list had James Madison at #12. I did a search for their strength of schedule and it is one of the weakest. I would think a 3 loss Big 10...
