Is anyone else sick of the quality, or lack there of, of reporting at ESPN? Who can figure out what all their made up stats mean? FPI, Sp+, etc, etc ..

They used to have some fairly insightful commentary on college ball, not so much anymore. Not to mention half the articles are behind a paywall. I guess advertising dollars aren't enough.

Hi Jake...I did not see much of the game however what I heard it was more like the Badgers were simply looking ahead instead of looking at the team right in front of them.

As for the reporting of "any" sports station we need to keep in mind that there is literallly MILLIONS if not BILLIONS of dollars bet each week on sports.......therefore.......if we Want INFO.....we HAVE to PAY for it....I wish it were different...but....the man in the sand ( vegas ) makes the rules...:noidea:

Thought the Irish at the Wolverines would be a good game. Ended up watching the Astros tie up the WS.

Yea, Michigan played their best game of the season so far. As much as I want it to happen they will not beat Ohio State. I hope I am wrong but OSU looks pretty good this year.

Ohio State looks great this year. Fields said he was coming to PSU, then changed his mind. Not complaining, we got Cifford, the big blue dog. I have this feeling that the OSU v PSU game at the end of regular season will be 2 10-0 teams... just hope PSU’s D can keep it close...

That's part of the reason why the B1G has a tough time moving up the ladder, they have to beat on each other....

Well, the CFP rankings are out for the 1st week. What do you think of the rankings? Personally, I think PSU is overrated. I would put them behind Clemson at this point. They have a tough Minnesota team to get past this week, and OSU in 3 weeks. I hope they are 10-0 going into the OhioState game... time will tell.

I think that’s where the AP has them ..
I can’t argue where my team is hovering ... They may not be worthy of the 10 spot idk ...
