The Cig/Indiana inclusion feels really harsh on a guy that took over the team one year ago, no? Franklin has proven it time after time, season after season. And at a university with football heritage. Cignetti led Indiana to just their 3rd winning season in the 2000s. If Cignetti had won those games year one it would have been MASSIVE and unprecedented upsets imo. I could see them becoming that kinda team but definitely is premature imo.
Great work/read as always tho! Love a good James Franklin roast haha
Yea, definitely a bit premature to lump in with PSU, more of what I see them becoming over time and it’s more about the media and how they rank teams like that right now rather than the teams themselves. Used to be a big fan of Cig, he’s lost me a bit with some of his comments but clearly knows how to coach ball.
I would actually be very curious to see how someone like him could do at a program like PSU, or even Michigan, he’s clearly very strong in Xs and Os, but will never have the talent level at IU to truly compete.
With you on the Cig comments. He could definitely do with a bit more restraint haha.
He’s from Pennsylvania so maybe they finally get fed up with James Franklin and he gets the shot. It’ll be interesting to see them face off this year. Something’s gotta give
Haha. Yea until they do it I don’t give anyone the benefit of the doubt. Cig is officially certified. Great win. Even if it turns out OU is overrated just the fact that the roster has a bunch of 4/5*s makes it a legit win in my mind
Hey, VP. Are you comfortable starting/streaming NCST DST vs FCS Campbell even though they’ve not been a great DST this year? In their defense they’ve played all P4 ACC games with the exception of G5 ECU week 1 — where they also were not great. Or would you prefer ODU vs Coastal Carolina instead? Higher floor? Implied score of 36-18 with ODU pretty heavily favored
I’m actually doing this very thing in one league (NCST vs. Campbell). I generally think P4 vs. FCS is a good strategy, of course anything can happen, but I prefer betting on that than G5 vs. G5

You know, that's actually funny, had no idea PSU and IU played later. That just became one of my most anticipated games of the year now! Cheers.
Cig gets it done! James Franklin officially the only big ten fraud? Had to circle back on this 😂

Ok cool, thx. What could go wrong, right?!? Ha! The other option (on waivers) is USF vs UNCC with an implied score of 41-14.
USF is not a bad option either, UNCC on back-up QB too, I think either are good options. I still probably prefer the P4 vs. FCS matchup.
