HedleyLamarr Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Remember that goodwill that the ACC somewhat gained a couple weekends ago? Clemson beat Auburn, Florida State played Oklahoma tough, and Miami beat Ohio State.Yeah, that was shortlived.Cincinnati 44, NC State 14Temple 38, Maryland 7Southern Miss 30, Virginia 24Kansas State 28, Miami 24And their preseason pick to be the conference champion (Florida State) is now 2-2.Whoops.

All that's missing from their schedules so far is the Barbizon School of Modeling and their local ABC Bartending School.They better be 4-0.

Their defense is suspect (and they have a couple of injured D-backs). They could easily go 4-4 in the Big Ten. They absolutely beat nobody this non-conference year. And despite the scores, the other teams did move the ball some. Their offense is a awesome, but if Wilson goes down, they go from top 10 to bottom 10 FBS quarterback.

If you ask me, the SEC is perceived to be the "gold standard" of college football and everyone else is playing catch-up. That includes the B1G.Wisconsin won't do itself any favors if it coasts through the B1G only to get paired up against Florida or Alabama or LSU in a BCS bowl, then end up crapping the bed and losing by 30.

Lights Out Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 They're right about VT and GT's schedules. I know Boise takes 99.9% of all about strength of schedule, but they have to deal with a long list of top programs that simply refuse to make a fair deal with them. There's NO excuse for a program like VT to only have one ranked team on their schedule, and even less excuse for them to be scheduling FCS schools when their conference is a joke. The Mountain West, at least, is arguably tougher than the ACC (and Big East, for that matter). POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's disrespect for these "powerhouses" that schedule cupcake teams the first two weeks of the season and then play the worse of their conference the next two.

thespleenenator Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Ok, so I saw this stat today, and thought that the Indiana fans needed something to make them feel better. So this is it:San Jose State hasn't beaten an FBS team not named New Mexico State since Nov 1, 2008.There, now you know that you're not the most inept team in the nation! Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character.

RyanMcD29 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 The Mountain West, at least, is arguably tougher than the ACC (and Big East, for that matter).Well, as much as I would like to see the Mountain West get a BCS bid, top to bottom I think those two conferences are stronger than the MWC*. OK, maybe not Duke, but I can see a BC/UVA or whoever in the smorgesborg of the Big East is in last can handle a New Mexico or UNLV. That being said, once half the Big East is raided and they're adding the service academies, then yes the MWC is stronger than the Big East in a sense*HOWEVER, When it comes to the top of the conference, Boise can beat a Cincy or whatever Big East team will disappoint in a big matchup and at the very least give the top of the ACC a real close game, if not a win. Still, the top to bottom aspect changes that around a little. Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 BTW, can somebody explain to me how New Mexico got an NCAA violation? If you can't even win by cheating, it's time to shut down the football program. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespleenenator Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Is it just me, or would anyone else LOVE to see Mike Leech at UNM? It would be so much fun to watch him take a program in shambles back to the top, where they once were (or if not the top, at least bowl eligible). Why you make fun of me?

More than anything, it was a good excuse for UNM to can his ass. Not sure how any school can tolerate a 2-26 record, but up til this weekend, New Mexico did.

In fact, I'd say the Mountain West is in decline.BYU and Utah are already gone, and TCU leaves after this season. With these three schools out of the Mountain West, Boise State is basically playing in a WAC-like conference again. (Unless the Mountain West has an expansion plan that hasn't been mentioned.)
