Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2494008, member: 488"] The only two teams we're comfortably better than right now are South Florida and East Carolina. There are a bunch of other teams in our orbit that aren't very good that we should rack up some wins against by default. Gun to my head, I'd pick us higher than 9th, but it's certainly not out of the question. I saw the Auburn game coming from a mile away. Mediocre teams almost always perform poorly in those situations - whenever you have several days to prepare for a ranked opponent, play hard in a losing cause, and then have to fly across the country to play a slightly lesser opponent 36 hours later, you're asking for trouble. Every under-achieving team that we have ever had has played that exact game. The 2010 season is a collage of those games. They'll be ready to play Wichita State. They have enough pride for that and they probably have enough talent to win or at least keep it close if the stars align. The five games following that, especially if they lose Saturday, will be when we see them check out. [/QUOTE]
