Hard to tell how good the team is since they have only beat one team with winning record/ Buffalo 4-3. Rice, UAB and UMass are really bad teams, and Georgia State is not very good either. UConn should go 8-4 with only one game that will be a tough game against Syracuse((only team that will have a record over 500 when UConn faces them).
 
UAB played USF tough. I wonder what happened there. Dilfer is rumored to be on his way out.

UConn has only beat one team with a winning record Buffalo- 4-3. Down the stretch except one team above 500x
 
This week's rankings per The Athletic. Two opponents in the biggest movers up group, two in the down group. UConn down 7 places to 83. Ten teams still undefeated (yes, yes, it's all about the scheduling).

4 remaining opponents rated over 100, and the two we have to play on the road, at 128 and 131, are fighting to be the worst FBS team in the country. Yes, I know how bad we've been for how long, and I know you never take an opponent for granted, but there is no reason we shouldn't win all 4 of these games.

I agree. I also believe Duke is way overrated. There backend schedule much more difficult.

Let me modify that statement: “There is no reason we shouldn’t win all 3 of these remaining games, even if we do so in a totally unimpressive manner.”

Wake jumped 10 spots on a bye? Am I reading that right?

Yesterday's results. Buffalo's last 3 games are on Tues 11/12, Wed 11/20, and Tues 11/26, and I'm like ¯\(ツ)/¯ then realized it's considered this week's game, so I'll update tomorrow when new rankings come out

Last week UConn was #70 in the cbs sports rankings which updates late Monday morning. Now at 7-3 UConn is looking to move up again as the lowest ranked team with 7 wins. I want to see UConn at least #67 or even higher. That would put them in the 50th percentile. Quite remarkable given the past few seasons.

7 wins. Teams with 7 wins ranked ahead of UConn outside the Top 25. All won their last game.

27 8-2 Tulane
28 7-2 UNLV
30 7-2 Missouri
32 7-2 Arizona State
35 8-1 Louisiana
36 7-3 Duke
41 7-2 Navy
44 8-2 Memphis
46 7-2 James Madison
54 7-2 W. Kentucky
56 7-2 What in Sam Houston (bye last week)
70 7-3 UConn

Truthfully, I’m not sure we can or should move much higher with the schedule we’ve had. Now, if we take out Syracuse, then we will see movement I bet into the high 40s low 50s.

I agree. Our schedule was not difficult. We need to beat Syracuse handily in order to gain respect and the only way this will happen is if Joe starts at QB. Hopefully, Mora realizes this.

Wherever we land is a lifetime away from where we were 2-3 years ago. I wanted to vomit after the 2021 holy cross loss.
Not saying i'm satisfied, just super super thankful to feel like this team deserves to be called an FBS team.

you can't ignore the losses we've already taken... it'll be in the 65-75 range if we beat 'Cuse

Yep, as someone who has never missed watching a game since 2012, I have stomached my way through some absolutely soul-crushingly bad games/seasons. This season is actually bringing me some joy. There is still a lot of work ahead but at least I can feel some pride in our football team again.
