2020 College Football

With many teams/conferences withdrawing from competition this year, it's going to be an interesting race to the top. My bold prediction? Army is the only team to play enough games to be eligible for a bowl and wins the National Championship by default.

Army shut out Middle Tennessee, Navy got destroyed by BYU, and Air Force is too scared to play anybody other than the other academies. Who'd you watch this weekend?

I haven't seen Nebraska much lately but Scott Frost is a proven head coach. His struggles aren't with coaching but procuring talent, which was always going to be difficult for any head coach, regardless of their resume, at Nebraska.

That said, I don't see any reason why in a "normal" year, Nebraska can't win 7 games to qualify for a bowl game, yet that hasn't happened during his tenure.

Yeah but keep in mind, Nebraska was famous for their Walk-Ons because they could take one and two star guys, put them through the Bigger, Stronger, Faster program for a few years and mold them into effective offensive lineman to help move the pile for guys like Rozier.

Unfortunately for them, turning 1 and 2 star recruits into effect pass blockers is extremely difficult, so Frost needs to have strong recruiting classes in order to compete in the Big 10.

So far, that hasn't happened.

I can buy that, since back then it was easier to build up those kids to be serviceable run blockers and not have to worry too much about coaching up the pass blocking skills.

Now, they have to have both effective run blockers, but more so on pass protection because of how the game has changed and revolves around the QB play in the pass game.

Maybe I am in the minority, but the big burly linemen and the 80's/90's style of run attack would still work in today's game, just you have to have the right pieces for it.

Kirby is lucky he’s at his alma mater....constantly out coached in big games, can’t win them, and had Justin Fields only to run him off in favor of completely bleh Jake Fromm.

They’ll never get over the hump with him.

Well, they could always go with the Triple Option as they done at the Naval Academy.

They were so successful from the 60-90's because they were able to take homegrown 2 Star Players and turn them into productive college players, mainly because of their running attack.

But in 2020, that just doesn't work in a conference like the Big Ten because teams need to be able to pass the ball at a high level, which means competing against the Big Ten, Pac-12, ACC and SEC for quarterback talent. And when guys have zero state ties, it's a huge issue and a hump they just haven't been able get over.

And this is coming from a HUGE Tom Osbourne, Mike Rozier and Tommy Frazier fan, along with all of the other great players on those great teams.
They're not. That's why joining the B10 was the perfect fit for them. You don't have to be a national power to rake in the money, plus academically, there's bonuses to being part of the conference.

From a pure sports standpoint, the B10 isn't the top conference it once was. However, in every other way - revenue, revenue sharing, etc. - it's near the top in every category.
