  • Do you really find that "astounding"? Happens quite a bit, yes? Last year, pollsters didn't correct the Miami-ND stuff until the very last pre=playoff one.* - By kccambo September 22, 2026 at 07:09:22 PM
  • I do think there's a chance that PSU is pretty good. Franklin was a good recruiter, and that's their talent base. Campbell also imported a ton of dudes.* - By Bluebuck September 22, 2026 at 06:05:46 PM
  • This was discussed pre-season. Their schedule is so weak they’re going to go 10-2 with losses to Michigan and USC and get obliterated in the first round of the playoff. The unbalanced schedules are ridiculous* - By yarn September 22, 2026 at 05:36:20 PM
    • The Big Ten can be wildly flexible with networks selecting start times on little notice to fans, but scheduling years out is a must - By plug September 22, 2026 at 05:53:48 PM
  • some (many?) poll participants are treating the WMU game as a loss* - By ajs September 22, 2026 at 05:29:32 PM
    • Independent of Michigan's game with WMU, Penn State should not be rising. - By GritsGoBlue September 22, 2026 at 05:42:59 PM
      • do we really know how Cignetti wants to schedule? It's only his 3rd season and I assume most of IU's games were scheduled before he was hired - By DoctorD September 22, 2026 at 06:48:32 PM
        • I wonder how he scheduled at Google University* - By ajs September 22, 2026 at 09:29:19 PM
      • The polls are always going to be flawed, but the selection committee has the power to ignore them - By syrfan September 22, 2026 at 06:34:20 PM
