    That link takes you to a Pac12 topic on best coaches...

    This one is to the top 25 toughest schedules.

    Nothing really surprising in that list, Irish are at #13, Gators #6, Bama #11, Texas #14 ...Texas A&M not on the list! :shock:

    No doubt the Big10 is undergoing a football resurgence. Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State are all looking to have excellent seasons, as well as Wisconsin and Nebraska.

    Sort of proves the theory that these things go in cycles.

    I think Jeff Brohm is one of the more intriguing hires this off season. Purdue has a new AD who seemingly is making the commitment to revive the football program and is investing in things that need improvement (facilities) to be competitive.

    P.J. Fleck is the other hire that is very interesting. No coach was hotter this past season than Fleck, from the record that WMU had to his techniques for motivation. Big step up from WMU to playing a Big 10 schedule. I think more will be expected from Fleck his first season than from Brohm.

    I see Terry already made the proper link, but I changed mine in the original post anyway.

    Sorry, we have a lot on our minds right now and perhaps old age is catching up.

    But regardless it's interesting.
