FiddySicks Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Just one minor counter point to your Hawaii hasn't sold out a game since 06 point. Aloha Stadium had a capacity of over 50,000, which would make it one of the biggest stadiums in the MWC. Very few lower tier colleges are gonna do that even once in awhile, let alone on a consistent basis.

Davidellias Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Well… (Maybe.)Between this and the field turf, would I be correct in assuming that NDNation has hired a crack team of assassins to ensure Brian Kelly never coaches again?Because I can actually say it here, Notre Dame has the worst fanbase in sports.Come to Knoxville, we'll prove you wrong.

TheRicSlick Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 According to most of the guys on College Gameday, your future National Champions are.... UCLA. The team that most of you said was ranked to high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 According to most of the guys on College Gameday, your future National Champions are.... UCLA. The team that most of you said was ranked to high.Just for context, last year most of the guys on College Gameday picked Alabama to win the national championship and Clemson to win the ACC. Neither Florida State nor Auburn were popular picks to win their respective conferences. Furthermore everyone picked Louisville to win the Bill the Cat Conference, Texas had a plurality of picks to win the Big XII, nobody had Missouri in the SEC championship game, and nobody had Sparty winning the Big Ten (indeed Michigan was a popular pick to win their division). Quite the track record, yes?

DCarp1231 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I don't understand why people constantly doubt Maryland... They have a lot of potential. They have a great team. CJ Brown is coming back for his 6th year of eligibility (yes 6 he was injured for 2 years) he has a lot of upside, Stefon Diggs (Maryland's best offensive weapon) and after this year will inherit a star guard commit in EJ Donahue (from my former high school). Granted the defense isn't really up to par with the offense, but they have a chance to compete week in week out with the B1G. Within a few years I think Maryland will be a top B1G team.This years predictions:Wins-James MadisonSouth FloridaWest VirginiaSyracuseIndianaLosses-Ohio StateWisconsinPenn StateMichigan StateToss Ups-IowaMichiganRutgersI'm a Maryland fan, but I'm not going to sit here and tell you that they'll go undefeated because that's simply not the case.

rams80 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Please note your list of tossups and losses, and reflect again on why people are saying Maryland's going to struggle in the Big Ten. PS Indiana's not that awful, and Maryland's playing that game on the road.

Midway Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Another suspect defense for Texas Tech this year. I have no doubt that we can put up numbers on offense but I can see us playing a whole bunch of catch-up when it comes to playing the big boys. Tech has always had a less than stellar history of stopping the run after all.Charlie Strong acclimating to the Big 12 and Baylor trying to stay on top are going to be fun to watch.
