Helmets don't host Friday night games


Chancellor Ronnie Green* says Nebraska doesn't plan on hosting any Friday night games.

Interesting. I still  honestly think the Miami third place votes are more a product of not liking them which screams helmet to me.



Moving on.

I'd go the opposite way and say the first place Miami votes are result of lack of differentiation between program history and helmet status.

i'd be mildly surprised with any variation on this one.

Although... performing this exercise in 1980 would probably yield different results.

Pitt is maybe closer to Wisconsin that I had thought earlier, but helmet is not about thinking, sort of.

Pitt is only quasi relevant in its own city.  I don't think it's close.  Now Pitt's history vs. Wisconsin's history is a legit debate.  Helmet status now?  I don't think so.

I argued for Pitt to be higher on the old board. Looking at their past there is a lot of hardware in the closet. But the demotion to the ACC and subsequent not performing there, with the current rise of the Badgers over the last 20 years makes it hard to helmet the panthers.
