I don't understand the weak schedule argument against us.


Sep 1, 2015, 1:32 PM

We play FSU,GT, ND which are all top 15 preseason teams I believe. We also play Louisville who has been ranked in the final AP poll the last 3 years and should be good and we also play NC State and Miami who should be much improved.

We also play SCAR and according to them, they could be a 10 win team this year. lol.

Look at Ohio State's schedule. They play Michigan St. and that is it.

Hell, look at SCAR's schedule in the big bad SEC. The play Georgia, Missouri, A&M, and LSU. Tennessee may be improved, but I would bet that 1 or 2 out of the 4 will prove to be way overrated. My point is, is they do have a stronger schedule but not much stronger.

I really don't think they have a hard schedule this year,

The season has yet to play out but...

USuC has the #22 SOS and we have the #25. Not enough difference to be arguing about.

Not sure how much those rankings are really worth either


Sep 1, 2015, 2:11 PM

1) They only use winning %
2) It's last year's winning % at that

But then again pre-season SoS arguments are pretty ridiculous so maybe they deserve to be backed with equally ridiculous statistical evidence.

Completely agree.


Sep 1, 2015, 2:15 PM

But the argument has to be based on something. I suppose you could go with pre-season rankings but they're equally worthless.

Yep. That's why the entire argument is silly.***

If we are a 12-1 ACC champ we will be in.
They keep saying the ACC will be left out because they think nobody will lose less than 2 games.

It's all about perception and in that situation it would also help your cause if other ACC teams did well against their OOC opponents.

I agree. It's like they think if they say it over and over it will be true. Everyone will belive it. In a way, it's like politics

Scar really hurts our sos a lot.***

Had a coot at work today tell me he'd love to have our schedule and that most of the teams we play are "washed up". You just have to ignore foolishness.
