Deep breathe HC it was HawaiiIs Chip back?
Forget the 'Fightin CHIPmunks' here's some duck pimping for you to enjoy.Trick question, Chip never left.
They still recruit at a top 25 level even with their disadvantages in territorial recruiting. So they should be better than what they have been in the last decade or so.
But the gap is so large at the top. Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, Georgia, etc. pretty much gobble up a lot of the top 100 recruits in the country every cycle. With all the technology, camps, verifiable measurements, etc. these coaches can make better bets on prospects than they once did. But obviously it’s not an exact science & some of these top 100 guys flop but with roster turnover moving so quickly now. These teams are married to those busts like they used to & their just recruited over in a year or so by another top 100 player.
There’s historical programs that are better off than Nebraska by a considerable margin that even themselves have no shot at competing for a national title.

Real profound observation there by Colin there.
I think you and I have talked about it in the past, but there's only like 5 or 6 programs with a legitimate shot at a national championship anymore, unless you get a one-off Burrow situation. And the portal didn't help the pack get closer to that top group. It's going to eventually turn into an advantage for the Alabama/Ohio State/Clemsons of the world. They'll hand pick high end gap fillers looking to increase draft status and the rest of the NCAA will battle it out over the tier two transfers.
Nebraska is one of those former blue blood programs with no shot in hell at the playoff. I'd put seriously money on them not evening playing in a conference championship game anytime in the next decade.
They were down 21 in the second half. To me it really comes down to the QB play. Martinez missed so many open receivers in the first half that they should have been up by at least 17 at halftime. With a good QB I think they're a 10 win team.Nebraska had the higher win expectancy rating in that game. Not exactly an accomplishment against Illinois, but they've been unlucky in one score games.
This feels like the high-water mark for me.
He's not a great passer and he missed throws, but he's too good of a runner not to have a better than mediocre offense they've had of late. They were one of the least explosive offenses in the country last year.They were down 21 in the second half. To me it really comes down to the QB play.

He's an excellent runner and that 75 yard run he had was impressive. I just think if they had a guy that could hurt you downfield that would open up the running game and help their offense immensely.He's not a great passer and he missed throws, but he's too good of a runner not to have a better than mediocre offense they've had of late.

Frost is probably yelling at the sky every night for leaving UCF as the recruits available to at UCF is probably/definitely better than at Nebraska.
UCF ran a super fast up tempo spread offense under Frost. B1G is obviously a different animal but why do a complete 180 from what got you there? He's had 4 years to bring his type of player in.Put another way:

He was very accurate last year, but they never threw the ball downfield and as a result their were no YAC yards or big plays. My read: conservative offense.

My first Oprah. Be still my beating heartThis looks very wrong to me. Here's what I think of it:
So 2 hours but since these are actually competitive matchups 8 hours?It took me a half hour to pick four games last week.

It's all for fun and no money involved.
I don't know if you noticed but I can be annoying at times are you sure you want me to remind youDon't let me forget to make my picks - remind me every day.
