You see the 2nd half surge with most top teams - after half time adjustments - every week in CF. Just the way it is
Maryland stinks, but OSU is beatable
- Thread starter mgkpsu
- Start date
We've played no one. I said earlier "no one with a pulse"
5-1 doesn't mean you're good. Syracuse was 6-0 last year and complete trash which they ended up proving. It's like the crazy people here claiming West Virginia is good.
"Good" is a very subjective word. A 5-1 record means the team was better than 5 of the 6 teams they have played. That would fit many definitions of good.
I don't think that Penn State has played a team of ND's caliber nor probably Maryland's. JMO.
Do you want reminded who they played. Most teams are better than those 5 and many of them aren't good.
Again, there's a reason they were unranked at 5-0.
We could go on and on. The point is they beat all 5, so their ceiling was not established by those games. They played OSU even for 2 1/2 quarters in Columbus. Wait until you play MD, they could surprise you.
And if Penn State and Michigan beat Maryland by 20 points then you'll realize they aren't good?
Look at their schedule. I really thought it was only the idiots here that couldn't actually analyze a record to determine how much value it has.
I dunno. I might think Iowa or WV vs MD would be close.
And maybe ND as well since they apparently don’t have an offense.
That Notre Dame win is looking less impressive each week especially since they should have lost last week too.
The last 3 weeks, ND has played OSU, Duke and now Louisville. It takes a toll. They play a tough schedule. PSU had a bye this week. Who are they playing next week?
And are getting embarrassed tonight. Again the National media builds up a mediocre Notre Dame team.
And they can’t score against any of them…I guess all three of those teams must have monster defenses.
If we played Duke and Louisville in back-to-back weeks, people would be saying our schedule was weak.
In men's basketball, that would be a super difficult stretch.
In football, it would be a two-game cakewalk in 29 out of 30 years, and medium difficulty in the 30th year.
Shitty, shittier, and shittiest. Face the fact that it's a down year. Maybe Day picked the wrong QB, or maybe people finally have enough film on Day's teams, but either way last year was the best chance at winning a title and OSU couldn't get the job done.
But he shouts intensely about Lou Holtz and they have a good WR. Automatic top four ranking.
Seriously, though, they are down this year.
I really have no idea how good PSU is this year, but I am pretty confident that Notre Dame is not all that.
They are 5-0. Each team undefeated until OSU played them. I am very comfortable being an OSU fan going forward. Good luck against Umass. Should be a real barn burner. I still think that the game in 2 weeks could go either way.
I mean, UMass is a joke but so is Youngstown State and Western Kentucky. It's a weird attempt at an attack. I defend Ohio State all the time because they've earned it but this is just odd. Just like putting as much weight in record as you do as we all know records as misleading until you check the schedule. Louisville hasn't beat anyone...GA Tech Murray St Indiana BC and NCSU. Yikes. Well and ND now
The schedules are built years in advance. In my entire life, Duke has been good in about three seasons. There is no way to say that scheduling Duke is reasonably expected to be difficult, even if it is right after OSU.
To be fair they didn't schedule Duke or Louisville...just luck of the draw with the ACC
Regardless, I don't understand the argument that having Duke on the schedule makes it a hard schedule. They are one of the all-time doormats of the P5 conferences.
It would be like a PSU fan pointing to a Temple game as some kind of major league scheduling accomplishment.
They really only scheduled USC and Ohio State as potentially tough games. We know they use the ACC to get easy opponents without having to join a conference but Duke was good this year (or could have been) prior to losing their QB. Not sold on Louisville but we'll see and I'm glad they beat the hell out of ND.
Really??? You mean the ND team that quite literally got their butts kicked by Louisville and is now 4-2??? That ND??? Seriously???
Of course they jumped at that opportunity, and many schools would have. Florida State was able to use that conference to stay near the top for almost an entire decade in the 1990s. It's a bit bigger now but basically the same cast of characters.
