Honest Take

What will be available in the transfer portal for OL will be the same or worse than what is currently on the roster.

Holstein has played well during periods of the season. Played poorly during periods of the season. On the whole I don’t think it’s going to have some DJ Lagway type effect, where players in the portal are going to flock to play with him.

We have no way of knowing that yet, but in recent history we have picked up OL like Lyndon Cooper, Marcus Minor, Ryan Jacoby, and there are a few I am sure I am missing. Bottom line we can identify at least a starter or two through the transfer portal.

You aren’t going to have ex 5-star WRs knocking on the door, but skilled players will be more prone to look at Pitt seriously as a team that can pass the ball and help them showcase their talent. After two seasons of lackluster QB play and the inability to move the ball through the air we have answered the opportunities question, but still probably more NIL money

You are right teams don’t go 3-9 to 11-0 in one season, Indiana just went 10-1 after 3-9 last season. Probably will end up 11-1. Yes they have not play powerhouses until OSU but they beat everyone else on their schedule no matter how weak it is perceived. This is a program with far less tradition and historically has not supported the football program because basketball is king there.

Let me rephrase, it’s very unlikely that a team in one season transitions from 3-9 to 11-0 or 10-1 and to have that sort of expectation is unrealistic. It absolutely helped Indiana that they only played 3 teams the entire season that are bowl eligible (assuming Michigan losses to Ohio State). That’s about as easy as a schedule can get.

To contrast, Pitt has played 8 teams that are currently bowl eligible. A Cincinnati and Virginia win this weekend can make it potentially 10.

If we had Indiana’s schedule I believe our record would be identical.

Indiana isn’t in the CFP picture with Pitt’s schedule.

MSNBC is being rumored as an investment possibility for Elon Musk. He's seriously considering it. Comcast just wants to unload a network that is losing viewership faster than a sinking Titanic.

I mean, its not really for sale as they are combining these networks into a new company. But of course, everything has a price so if Elon wants to buy it, he probably can. Not sure there is a market for a mainstream right-wing rival to Fox News that MSNBC would become. But also not sure that that matters as Elon is just having fun with monopoly money.

I think the expanded playoffs combined with portal and NIL opens it up a little more than in the recent past. I think you can win a Natty at the following schools...

ACC: Miami, Clemson, FSU
Big 10: tOSU, Michigan, USC, Oregon, Washington, PSU
SEC: Alabama, Georgia, Florida, LSU, Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Auburn, Tennessee

Notre Dame

I don't see it at Ole Miss. Ole Miss really went all in this year with NIL. Supposedly, they made a commitment to fund it as part of the deal to sign Kiffin to a long term deal, as he was using the Auburn job as leverage. If they continued to make that kind of commitment every year, I guess I would list them too. I just don't see that happening.

That's a pretty spot on list.

I think SMU may be able to sneak their way on there. Not just because they are good this year and kicked out butt. But because they have big $$$ available and an institutional commitment to be good/great (and being in Texas helps too). If college football stays a NIL free agency sport, they have a chance.

I'm not saying the belong on the list now, but I won't be shocked if they win 10 games per season in several times in the coming years, which gets you in position to make a Clemson-like jump. At minimum, I think they will be a new version of VA Tech in the core Beemer years - regularly win 9-10 games and come up short on winning anything meaningful.
