Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 5109535, member: 1023"] Houston has an occasional win against a P4-5 school, but mostly losses. And they only play 1-2/year. Look at Army, currently ranked in the Top 20. They have basically played UConn’s schedule, minus the P4 teams. Temple, FAU, Rice, UAB, Lehigh,East Carolina, Air Force, Tulsa, The biggest difference is they are unbeaten. I don’t know FCS Lehigh’s record, but exactly zero of the rest of those teams have winning records. End of the day, Army will play 3 teams with winning records. They play 1 P4 game against Notre Dame. Our schedule is at worst comparable. I would argue it’s tougher. They are unbeaten so they are ranked. If we replaced Maryland, Duke and Wake with Tulsa, East Carolina and Air Force, and won them we’d be ranked. Instead we play one of the most P heavy G5 schedules PPP knowing 1-4 is likely our ceiling. The important thing is to win most of the games we play and NOT to over schedule. Just like nobody is talking about how ARMY has played a weak schedule, but only how they are undefeated, we’d be in the same conversation with only Syracuse or Duke not 4 P4 games. [/QUOTE]
