temptation

Not true. A long tradition down there. I just don’t think a public 3A school could hang with the 5A/6A big boys on this list. And I mean that as respectfully as possible. Now, admittedly as someone who has compiled rankings in the past, you eventually have to reward teams for winning games, and I have put them ahead of many of these same programs because I thought they were deserving, but I don’t necessarily think they would beat them head-to-head. A 9-0 HH squad deserves to be ranked ahead of a 5-4 HCC/MIC team in most cases, even though I don’t think they’d match up very well. Just my opinion.

Two categories of pizza for Temp. Good pizza and GREAT pizza.

Thoughts? Personally, I kinda like this one but can find a few things I disagree with. Too high: New Pal Decatur Central Heritage Hills Crown Point Too low: Carmel I agree with this top 4 though, including the order…and believe there is a significant gap after those 4.

Wow.

Underrated stadium.

Facts.

Yep. Ryan Day is so dumb and deserves sole responsibility for that loss. Had three Ferrari’s on the outside and yet wanted to prove Lou Holtz wrong again. The team that wins the rushing yardage battle, wins the game…so he ran into two brick walls (Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant) repeatedly for 60 minutes. Elite recruiter, actually an elite offensive mind who turtles under pressure, specifically when games are close in the 4th quarter.

Hope you’re right. Night game, freshman QB on the road. The Sooners’ pickup of Mateer was elite.

He’s right. There is very little upside to playing a tough non-conference slate other than eyeballs. Michigan traveling into a hornet’s nest at Oklahoma in week 2 with a true freshman quarterback. Fully expecting a loss there. Play Directional U, write em a check, win 10 games and go to the playoff.

We already have our resident board member for that here.

I’ve got you. Carmel and CG to the HCC. FC and Noblesville to the MIC.

I’m not even necessarily saying Sherrone belongs in the same breath as Day but you also can’t ignore 2-0. Also, kudos to the Buckeyes for making that run last year but without an expanded playoff Ryan Day is unemployed the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

70-10 with 40% of those losses to his main rival. Give him credit as he doesn’t lose games he shouldn’t (with the exception of the 2024 Michigan game) but he has the talent advantage every time his team takes the field.

Not saying Sherrone is a sure fire top 3/5 guy but come on here. 2-0 as a head coach against Day and 1-0 against Bama, after also calling the greatest drive in Michigan football history in the 2024 Rose Bowl and going into Happy Valley an hour before kickoff and being forced to put the head set on. Seems pretty close minded on Day. A national title just ends the debate huh? What about Uncle Ed at LSU? Won a natty then was unemployed two years later. I do like the more with less argument though. Gotta see one more year from Cignetti.

Hey @Bash Riprock, got to thinking from the other thread. Do you think Cig is a better coach than Ryan Day? How would you rank the hierarchy of Big Ten coaches?

Correct, but in the modern era of portal activity, he’d not be able to keep up in the SEC week in and week out. At Clemson, he takes the field with the most talented team in the ACC weekly. I’m probably going to be framed as a hater for this take but it also that time of year when college football fans/pages are releasing their coaching rankings and I find it hilarious that Ryan Day is still viewed as a unanimous #1 in the Big Ten. Managing talent while given an open checkbook is no doubt challenging but the bottom feeders in the power 4 don’t wanna hear about it.

Not if he keeps that same transfer portal philosophy.

He’s a good Christian dude with morals who would never stoop to the level of poaching is how I understand it.

Gotcha.

Yet you supported Brian Kelly?

You must not have read up on the NewSpring church fiasco from years past huh? Dabo seems personable but I think it’s mainly an act.

“Blessed to receive an offer from…”

Good luck with those preseason polls, lol. Cannot believe this is where we are in 2025. ”Committed.”

Always, yes.

Anybody’s guess. They kept their D1 prospect on the bench and kept feeding Garnett too.
