Week 6: non-UConn

[SwingDog]

Halftime: SMU 24, Syracuse 3. Is Coach Fran going to make his players run sprints in Dallas after the game? What an ass.

Did he make them run sprints in Syracuse after getting crushed by Duke? By his standards, he should have.

PennSt AND Tex fall out of top 25. I think a bit harsh for the Horns as Fla is a good team that had to face a tough schedule this far.
But it’ll be clear next week — win vs Okla and they’ll be ranked; lose and not.

Also watching Air Force at Navy. Got a special spot in my heart for Navy as I wanted to go to Annapolis for undergrad.

Like wise. Unfortunately my astigmatism prevented it so I attended UConn.

How do you feel now? I noticed you didnt respond to my earlier post.

As I said. Best Miami team in a decade. They are being touted as a playoff team. Will they finally win the ACC after 21 years? Odds are good but a 6 point win over FSU wasn’t awe inspiring. They have a better QB, a higher payroll. Yet, after all the FSU turnovers, they allowed a claw back. I think that the Canes are good, but we’ll see.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Noooo way. No higher tyan 20th

You were right. I thought there was no way the voters would do the right thing here.

 

[BigTenFan]

Very interested to see how IU does on the road against Oregon

 

[DoctorWho85]

UMass is showing no signs of giving up. They are talking about "over investing" $25M into the stadium. Which won't result in improvement on the field any time soon.

The good news is that I don't think anyone in the MAC has a winning record. They could win a freak game or two and finish in the middle of the conference and go 2-10!

Tbf, they just joined the MAC. I'm not saying they'll be a powerhouse, but the consistent schedule and money from the conference will pay off I I see now reason they can't go 4-8 every year

I mean I thought we would win more than 3-4 games a year when we had that AAC money flowing in. Until they have the right leader, nothing is going to change.

I think they should consider it a victory if they keep it close. That’s a tough place to play. I see you are a Big 10 fan….what do you think will happen?

 

[freescooter]

Oh I think Buffalo will have a winning record. So will western Michigan.

Oregon clearly has more talent but Cignetti has been a savant and with 2 weeks to prepare I think IU will be very competitive.
I think IU has the better QB

Florida State was certainly great during garbage time once it hit 28-3.

 

[traitor71]

And another top 10 loses to unranked with TX falling 29-21

Coming into the season, the alleged experts had Lagway and Manning as 2 of the top QB's in the country. They couldn’t have been more wrong. Neither kid is ready yet, to say the least.

Can't argue that, but also the TV money screwed us in the AAC. It was hurting the whole AD as a whole

They should play that in prisons. Would cut down on the recidivism rate.

I think Miami will do a Miami somewhere along the line and lose to an iinferior opponent, then continue the slide. It has been their mo for years.

Their sked was front loaded.

Their “toughest” games are Lou, @SMU, @Pitt, NCSt, and the ACC CG.

Stanford, Cuse, VaTech should be easy

They ain’t losing more than 1.

In Kent State’s defense, have you looked at their schedule? It is nuts. Texas Tech, Florida State and Oklahoma all on the road. That borders on criminal. They beat Merrimack. And they lost to Buffalo by a field goal. If they aren’t totally demoralized, I think they will win a few games in the MAC. Not the title of course, but they will win a few.

Tell that to last year’s team.
