Frye did heavily recruit Simmons who committed to SDSU over UCLA to be closer to an ailing family member.
Maybe the academics piece mattered to the Stanford players? You can obviously get just as good of an education at OSU, it’s all about what you put into it, but the rankings say it’s a better academic school.

Minnesota HC P.J. Fleck: 2023 Michigan 'is the best football team I've seen in my 11 years as being HC'
The Minnesota Golden Gophers got obliterated by the Michigan Wolverines 52-10 on Saturday. Minnesota dropped to 3-3 and 1-2 in Big Ten play, while Michigan held its place at No. 2 in the AP Poll and are now 6-0 on the season. Several things can be true from the contest,…

Hyperbole or is this Michigan's year not only to claim their third straight Big 10 title but the national championship?
The analytics say so, but is their prowess a product of their weak schedule played to date?
They look good thus far. But much like Maryland, I'll reserve judgment until I see them play anyone with a pulse.Minnesota HC P.J. Fleck: 2023 Michigan 'is the best football team I've seen in my 11 years as being HC'

Probably a lot of hyperbole at this point following a 52-10 loss. But one penalty the past two weeks and 14 total through six games says this team is pretty damn good, I don't care who they've played. They are as good as I've ever seen them on both lines.Minnesota HC P.J. Fleck: 2023 Michigan 'is the best football team I've seen in my 11 years as being HC'

Multiple recent CFP trips, have a ton of experienced players but some key transfer guys up front, and the landscape seems very wide open this year even with Georgia coming off of back-to-back titles.

I'll add, he may be at his glass ceiling IMO if they don't.
He has a lot of program momentum, but there hasn't been any real pickup in recruiting for them. They've gotten good at portaling OL but the player development, strength and conditioning, etc., is probably what it is at this point. Some of the key assistants I expect to be (i.e. Moore and Minter) head coaches elsewhere soon. Probably not going to get any more parity any time soon than what there is this year and the extra eligibility COVID era players start to age out.

Michigan is solid but I do not believe they are the #1 or #2 team in the country. I think 5-6 teams would beat them.
They have gotten away with this recipe for 3 seasons now. Play patsies all year and beat OSU. The OSU wins give them big time street cred, they defeat an awful B10 West team in the B10 Championship game, and get dialed in the playoff. Hopefully PSU or OSU can deny them this year.

I hope you are right. But right now I do not have faith that the OSU coaching staff can take their superior talent and beat them.

Big Ten Football Division Tiebreakers - Big Ten Network
(Updated Nov. 2, 2015) The Big Ten football championship will be decided by a game played between the two division champions. A team or teams that are not eligible to participate in a postseason football bowl game as a result of NCAA and/or Big Ten sanctions shall not be eligible to participate...

So it looks like it would be based on the team's rank in the CFP poll, which OSU would likely win, since they would have beaten UM the week before. But this would require us to lose to PSU, PSU to lose to UM. If PSU were to beat UM, and we lose to them, then it would stand to reason UM would probably go.

maaaaaybe. Rutgers lost to Wisconsin for God's sake. Illinois gave up over 40 to Purdue. Nebraska struggled with Northwestern, Northwestern.
The only thing stopping ferentz from averaging 40 is those other teams be pokey. Iowa might not get enough touches.
It was a dumb bet by any measure but him not making the numbers has as much to team with opponent style as it does Iowa style.
I think.
