Yeah as much as we rag on Iowa, I can't see Minnesota going into Kinnick and winning but who knows. Credit to Minnesota for winning the games on their schedule.

I'm not sure I trust much outside of Ohio State and Wisconsin yet.

Iowa is averaging 13 points a game against P5 teams not named Rutgers so they seem very vulnerable. Would love to see Gophers romp on them but it's likely to maybe be a low scoring affair determined on turnovers.

I don't get the whole gameday shtick popularity. I never watch it. Fun for the folks at the game at that locale with the signs and all but I'm just not a fan of listening to a bunch of jackass talking heads. I don't turn my TV on till the kickoff.


Yeah you definitely don't learn much new from the analysts, I just enjoyed that ISU was a big enough deal that they came to Ames. I haven't watched since.

If Minne makes it to that game undefeated, that could be a really good game. They'll have to beat Pedo State and @TOE to get there.

Not sure my fellow Minnesotans would live through the excitement and heart stress that would invoke for them. :eek:


Edit: Would love to see it though. Fans up here have not had something like that since maybe 1960 so the majority of them haven't seen a great football year. I get that. 50 years of Cyclone fandom leaves me with a lot of empathy for them. Yeah, just figured out I attended my first football game at ISU 50 years ago.

It won't be Bama but LSU still has to play Auburn before they get Bama.
That's a really good point. Personally, I feel that Auburn has a better likelihood than LSU of being the "paper" tiger this year.

p.s. Anyone else feel like the SEC just has waaaay too many Tigers?

That's what you get when you have 14 teams, only 8 conference games and only 1 crossover game that rotates each year....you can easily have 3-4 undefeated or 1 loss teams.

Can't hide in the Big12
