NOT Part of Top 40 college football programs

 

 

So Ivan Maisel, Mark Schlabach , and Pat Forde did a mock draft to have 4 10-team "power conferences".  Then have the champions of those conferences play a "final four" to find the national champion.  We didn't make th top 40 however ... OSU, PSU, UM, Iowa, Wisc, and MSU did make the list.... here is the link. I hope to hear your feedback soon

I read this a bit today

Maisel and Schlabach were idiots mocking every single choice. This was a ridiculous thing. Are we top 40? Borderline, but I thought we had a small chance of making the cut. Those two fools mocked legitimate choices like Boise State and Utah, but fell all over themselves to keep Notre Dame in the top 10. Meanwhile, a program like Miami who has won three title since the Irish last won one, didn’t even rate top 20.

A futile crusade to prevent mass ignorance

The U

Totally agree that they snubbed the canes… you take one interpretation of a pass interference and that’s what separating Miami from being a dynasty again… and ironically making the big ten, more specifically ohio state a choker… oh well I think you can make a claim for a lot of teams for the 36-40 spots… sadly the last 5 years (and the fumble….) totally changed people’s perception of purdue…. time to play for us and shut up the idiots

I saw this too,

we definately got the snub here; however, I can see this being motivation for the new coaching staff and the Boilermakers moving forward in the Hope era.

I would have voted yes

If you would have stopped Ohio State on 4th Down and Iowa would have gone to the Rose Bowl.
