SMU vs Houston. Houston is a team Chief can’t figure out.

Remember when Nostical was telling us we would beat UCF to start the season?

How is BC in the top 25?

There has been a profound ACC bias in the committee this year (sadly, I think there is an indirect UConn dig in here)

Yup. They won the war and all the riches that go with it.

How could that be? Isn’t their recruiting base the Northeast?

They beat UMass, holy cross and barely beat currently under .500 wforest which was apparently enough to get them into the top 25, not an impressive enough 3 game slate imo to do that....then got crushed by purdue who was winless at the time. Barely beat temple, win against lville (lol who have up 77 points), vtech (meh) and Miami in a down year....guess I am not seeing it....let's see if they can hang with Clemson...

Why not? I subscribe to this simple premise. I’m optimistic for the first game in every season. Why wouldn’t you be? Reality can sink in later.

The same exact thing crossed my mind this weekend as I watched all of the news.
We can't stay at this level. The only good thing is that Rutgers is equally bad, but they would beat us.
If the MAC can field good teams, then we should be able to as well. No excuse.

I guess....at least UCF is undefeated so I kind of see it...BC is, what, 7-2 against a "meh" schedule. Again, I want to see if they can hang with Clemson and keep it within two touchdowns going into the 4th.

Cant think of a single recruiting advantage BC has over us. Or Rutgers or Cuse or Pitt or or WVU or PSU or UMD or...

You broke my sarcasm meter.
After watching about a half of that Cincy/Navy game, i more open to the possibility that Cincy can win out and beat Ucf there. Ucf as they showed last week against Temple is awful on defense, and Cincy may be good enough on both sides of the ball to give them a game, particularly if they turn Ucf over. Cincy's defense is head's above anyone else in the league right now. It's a testament of what you can do in a year. They'll be underdogs as it's at Ucf, but Fickell and his coordinators appear to have learned a lot their first year thru this league.

no way, but you think UCF could hang with Clemson or Alabama?

This has happened a couple of times now though. The question is why? Can't the opposition figure out quicker than that what UConn was doing on defense to stymie them? I seems like they need a short break to figure it out and then they pulverize the UConn D.
what in the world....A bit OT but I'm going with a Friday night game...
