@HoosierHuddle asked the question in this presser. For context: 2023 247 IUFB Composite Rank - 68 247 OSU Composite Rank - 4 2024 247 IUFB Composite Rank - 66 247 OSU Composite Rank - 5 2025 247 IUFB Composite Rank - 49 247 OSU Composite Rank - 4 2026 247 IUFB Overall Rank - 30 247 OSU Overall Rank - 6 Another way to see the gap closing is by the Avg. 2025 IUFB Avg: 86.51 OSU Avg: 91.51 2025 IUFB Avg: 88.0 OSU Avg: 92.07

The only other coach I can think of that might be remotely close is Ben McCollum. We'll find out soon enough. I have a feeling we are going to hate Iowa basketball for a long long time.

Hands down the toughest opponent (including CFP opponents) IUFB will play the entire year. They're the real deal. The silver lining though, our D isn't too bad. If healthy, Ponds and company in the secondary will neutralize weapons they're used to using. The game will be won in the trenches by the front 7. Defense wins this game.

Games 11 and 12 in the books. IUFB 31 Wisconsin 7 and IUFB 56 School up north 3 I dropped the ball posting game 11. More than likely it was the last home game of the year. Another performance by Charlie Becker and the D did what it has done all season. Game 12, the bucket stays and we got to see reps from players we might see next season. Next game: O$U

This is another reason I wanted to land an "older" coach with something to prove. He also mentions Whitten and Dolson on multiple occasions emphasizing the importance of their backing.

I wouldn't count them out. Va Tech is in the ACC and Franklin has a really nice pipeline in DMV (An IUFB pipeline and we'll be losing recruits to them), two CFP wins under his belt and an INT away from playing in the National Championship. Showing my age here but having personal experience with Blacksburg, back in the early 90s, the overall community culture in that neck of the woods are pretty fanatic about football. Moreso than folks in Bloomington prior to Coach Cig. What I'm saying here is coaching matters and the Hokies upgraded. Personally, I see them competing for the ACC and CFP championship in the coming years. I could be wrong of course. But ultimately, PSU really messed up letting Franklin go.

No clue but as some have already noted a lot of these players have agents and they're getting paid to find spots. If I had to guess, and it's a complete guess pulling out of my tukus, I'd say a lot have a very short list already lined up or at least a good idea of their market value. I guess it just all depends on how good the agent is at doing his/her job in the grand scheme of things.

This one to me was a head scratcher. If it was the staff related, makes me wonder if he regressed this year. It also might have been he got a better NIL offer and IUFB wasn't going to match.

A Cignetti coached QB has earned All-Conference honors in the last four seasons (I'm assuming it'll be five seasons with The Nandolarian). Cole Johnson, is the only QB that put his time in and is the only one named CFPA National Player of the Year.

The IUFB program started Nov. 30th, 2023. The recruiting 'experts' are now adjusting to it. And it's glorious!!

Bigger problems for PSU than us though.
