It's all G5....

The only reason that the AAC wasn't in front of the MWC was due to BSU having a very high rating due to the one game played verse Oregon. Remove BSU and the rest of the MWC didn't do anything. When the MWC breaks to the PAC, they will have BSU and a bunch of SCRUBS (sorry, pun intended!). Depending on being able to get NIU and one other team from back east, I do not believe there will be that noticeable of a difference between the MWC and the PAC on a national level. The bottom line is that UNLV must be as good as they were this year or better. As for BSU, remove the wins over UNLV, and they didn't beat a single team ranked in the top 40.
It wasn't jsut Boise. We were ranked ahead of Army even with 2 losses, and many had us ahead of Tulane with both with 2 losses, though the CFP ranking did not.

NIU doesn't move the needle much for me. They were a 100+ level team. It doesn't seem that their brand draws a lot of eyeballs. Being in another timezone is nice but does it matter if you are grabbing a small fan base with it?

They are upper middle team in a conference that is worth less media value than the current MW. At best they would be the average value if the new MW with all factors considered

Is anyone else concerned?

He also fell short on one in Boise in the cold.I have to imagine conditions played a role in it.

Kicking in a dome and not dealing with the elements has to be easier overall. Not just from the actual kicking but the snap and hold as well.

There was an actual Harvard study on it in for the NFL (Good to see those outrageous tuition costs are studying things that matter!)

'Not surprisingly, there is a strong association between kicking indoors and greater FG success. From distances of greater than 20 yards, being indoors is strongly associated with higher FG success. And the significance of this association appears to increase along with the length of the FG attempt.'

It did go on to say that after 50 yards there wasn't much difference. Having more to do with kickers leg strength. But from 20 yards to 49 yards significantly easier kicking in doors.
Wait a second. You're talking about guys who kick? As in the 'French Commies' you despise guys who kick?

Please take some time away from these boards and enjoy some fresh air.

Just stuff thrown at the wall.

I'd ask the writer; what connection does he have to Martyn? The branch bros were easy to connect because of Gorman but that's a pipe dream.

Is anyone else concerned?

I do not buy that domed stadium crap. While I do not want to admit it, since he may be leaving, Chittenden set a field goal distance freshman record verse Oregon State in the rain

Not UNLV but football related...Kinda..

Stumbled across this on Twitter.

Short minute long video of Michigan players going through the tunnel entering the Horseshoe for the Ohio State game. Set to the music The Beast from the movie Sicario.

If there was a category for super short films 1 minute in length at the Academy Awards this would get my vote..

Timed the music and perfectly. Final 5-10 seconds cool as hell.
