Hey Bob, I didn't want you to miss this:

"Calls for Trudeau's resignation gained momentum after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's announcement of a potential blanket 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico if they don't take stronger action against illegal immigration and drug trafficking concerns. Trump has targeted Trudeau and Canada in recent days, with the president-elect appearing to joke about Canada becoming the 51st state with Trudeau as governor. Some of Trudeau's critics have suggested he is unable to stand against Trump's economic pressure and bullying."

So, you are saying if Purdue would have beaten OSU. We would have deserved to be in the CFP? WHAT!!???

Totally, disagree. Take the top 8 teams regardless or you'll end up with teams like IU and get destroyed.

It was Michigan that year and if they beat them then yes, let them in.

In an 8,12,16 team format you e gotta prove yourself. I think it should be 8 and you could even make a conference semifinal that could be a playoff eliminator.

At the end of the day this format is better than the 4. More games, more product and a seasoned champion. My team lost and I’m not complaining. Gotta go earn it.

Different system and team. It's why I always twitch a bit when someone says X player wouldn't do well here because they aren't having a great season at Y team.

Roles, systems all play a part but a talented player is still a talented player. Gillis is a talented player.

Lmao.

What’s your reasoning for Ole Miss in top 25? They have exactly the same amount of top 25 wins as IU football and lost to the only ranked teams they have played.

MB Addition for 2025

B
Was announced that we've added a rising junior MB Dior Charles from Wake Forest. A really good pick up! She led the Deacs in blocks with 133 this past season and ranked 6th in the ACC with 1.23 bps. She is also an offensive threat - tallying 12 kills against Georgia Tech who was really good this year. She will help offset the loss of Colvin. So we lost 4 transfers and 1 to graduation and added 5 from the portal. 3 MBs and 2 OH. I really think Shondell did a good job at reloading. Will we be better next year. Most likely not - but we will still be a T25 team IMO.

I think people are really underestimating how much development we are likely to see from Harris, Cox and Burgess. All three are trending favorably and another season working with Braden will really help them.

Do we need another player or two? Perhaps. But it's far from a given. Personally, I'd like to see a wing who can break people down as that's the most pressing need. I think we can cover the 4/5 with TKR/Berg/Jacobsen/Heide/Burgess. If someone in that group leaves, obviously you need to add a body.

This is the same thing we heard about Heide and Colvin coming into this year. Unfortunately, they're incredibly inconsistent and sometimes disappear completely.
The hope is that guys develop and improve on their weaknesses, but it's definitely not a guarantee.
2, potentially 3 players (not necessarily all starters) from the portal and Painter can build a FF team.

Is that really what you took from that exchange?

You stated that you can’t include Gonzaga because they have four losses. Fine. I completely disagree but you can rank however you want. What I don’t understand is how you then include SDSU with three losses when Gonzaga is objectively better than SDSU by every measure in addition to beating them head to head.
Click to expand...
"Objectively." Gonzaga just hasn't been very impressive to me. Not that SDSU has been super impressive. Gonzaga has wins over SDSU, Baylor(who I don't care for this year), Arizona State and Indiana. Then have 8 wins over bad teams who are Q3 and worse. SDSU has wins over Houston, Boise State on the road, UC San Diego and Creighton(who I don't really like this year. So yea, Gonzaga has the head to head but I don't consider that the end all be all when I feel I'm splitting hairs. Gonzaga continues to beat the crap out of that poop conference and they'll find their way back.
