I do. We had a slight glimmer of hope early in CJF’s tenure, but that glimmer of hope no longer exists.
Big Ten is the most overrated conference in the country!

Or not. I don’t have pent up frustration at Franklin. I have frustration toward teams that cheat and prosper from it even after they get punished.
And what exactly is the definition of the root word (allege) for which “allegation” is derived from?
Not at all. Coaches who didn’t do anything don’t accept one suspension let alone two. I’m done with this discussion….you won’t change my mind and I won’t change yours.
Michigan is going to annihilate Washington. They deserve it. Best team in the nation. Did they cheat? Yeah. But I don't think that's the deciding factor here. Best team is Michigan.
Only chance they had was Texas in Houston with a slight home advantage but Texas has no defense. Washington will fold like a cheese omelette for them, very similar to how Oregon folded for Ohio State in 2015.
Listen, I’m as disappointed as you are that PSU’s administration/leadership lacks the backbone and commitment that UM’s does. It doesn’t mean UM is wrong. It more than likely means something is wrong with PSU.
UM cheating has nothing to do with PSU. If that commitment involves allowing your coach to cheat then I don’t want that kind of leadership.
You don’t “have to score as much as UW”. You have to apply pressure to UW’s offense by limiting their total possessions through ball control offense.
They’re still going to have to score some. How many teams were able to control the clock enough to beat our 94 team?
A few teams tested out medal with that approach, but we proved we were championship caliber by finding a way to win. We’ll see how this year plays out.
You did not play many good teams that year. You would have had your hands full with Colorado or Nebraska.
Big Ten the final 2 teams--tough to be overrated when that happens
It's why people need to stop paying attention to bowl outcomes. Penn State and Ohio State losing meant nothing. Both those teams already failed to achieve their goals this year. Ole Miss and Mizzou aren't at that level where it's a disappointing season to be 10-2 but they, at least Ole Miss, will get there.

First Big 10 team since '68 or '69 (didn't look this back up but its somewhere through these years) to go through the conference and entire season without a loss and without a tie.
Michigan was beating Colorado until a Hail Mary.
We beat Michigan. Destroyed OSU. Should have been a split considering it was done just prior and just after '94. If you argue otherwise, you are just trying to antagonize. Who is to say Nebraska could have stopped all of our weapons?
Right--that's my point. And then they'll be angry when they're not in the playoffs or not winning playoff games.
They stopped yours as well.
Colorado had 3 weapons, for sure. We had no less than 6. Much better OL as well.
Nebraska only scored 31 points as well. Much like their 28 vs then bottom feeder Iowa State, and 13 vs Oklahoma (6-6 purely average OU).
They were physical. I know some of the WVU players from that era and they say that team was better than Miami, 93 Florida, and other top teams we played in that three year cycle.
We all get it jackwad. The B1G is overrated. You posted it lots of times.
they beat Alabama last night, genius.
We would have rolled Colorado….Nebraska would have been closer but they couldn’t score enough to keep up with us. That was the best college offense ever up to that point (and that’s not me saying that, it’s Herbstreit and others). We scored every 1:56…that’s ridiculous.
B1G is overrated? Well, two B1G 2024 teams are playing for the NC. Yep, overrated - good call.
Judging by bowl results, all the conferences were close to average this season. PAC was the only conference plus two over .500, and the MAC was the only conference minus two. Big Ten finished tied for second at 5-4.
Washington and Michigan were the two games that mattered. All good for the Big Ten
And that’s what we’ve learned is the only thing that matters over the last decade and a half. 1 team winning the title means the whole league is the best. If another team from the big ten wins it next year might as well burn all the other crap conferences down.
Impossible to compare this year just because of the massive TP entries and opt outs in the bowls which affect more talented teams - like OSU and PSU - more than the teams they played. What it boils down to is that many Bowl games will start disappearing - outside of the 12 team Playoff - in the near future
