They'll get torched in Big 12 play when they can't outscore another pass-happy team (Texas Tech/Okla)
You must've missed the part where they GAVE UP 39 POINTS TO MARSHALL. Their D is garbage.Crimson streak;1265998 wrote:I thought in the preseason they were a pretty good team. Geno smith is a very very good qb and they have a lot of weapons. If there d holds up they are a top 5 team IMO
I don't know how much of those points were against WVU's scrubs, but I'd assume quite a few.Cher;1266093 wrote:You must've missed the part where they GAVE UP 39 POINTS TO MARSHALL. Their D is garbage.
I would put Bama, Oregon, LSU over them. And, I wouldnt put it past UGA, OK or FSU in being better than them, but I wont put them over them yet. Not totally sold on either of them. USC is not complete. Defense wins titles. So, I would put them 4th. As for sniffing a title, I dont think it will happen. They have alot going against them. A. They always slip up at least once B. They would have to beat Oregon twice C. no depth. Injuries will kill them if they have them. D. The Pac 12 seems to be pretty tough this year.ptown_trojans_1;1265847 wrote:4th or 5th? Who the hell is ahead of them?
I see 3rd, fine, it is early whatever. But, 5th?
BTW, it is week 2. Nothing is settled yet.
Also saying USC will not snuff the title game is one of the dumbest things I have heard.
Look, I get it, you love LSU and the SEC, but come on, you cannot disregard the offense that is USC.
And if anyone wants to talk brainwash by ESPN, it is the SEC. We are force fed it now all year.
It is only September. Polls and rankings mean jack right now.
Beating Pitt is not vote worthygoosebumps;1266414 wrote:I know I'm a UC homer, but I think they should be a top 25 team. probably somewhere between 22 and 25 right now. We had 3 votes in the preseason AP poll, beat a BCS team by 20+ points on national tv and now zero votes?!? wtf. We finished ranked last season in both polls after starting the season unranked. In fact over the last 5 years we started the season unranked every year. In 4 out of 5 of those seasons we won 10 games and finished ranked #8 #17, #17, and #25 in the AP. You'd think the media would be sick of getting it wrong year in and year out.
Actually now that I think about it.... to hell with the AP rankings haha. I'll take another 10 win season.

Pitt was a favorite to win the Big East this season I believe.LJ;1266550 wrote:Beating Pitt is not vote worthy
They were someones dark horse, Most expect Louisville to win it. I believe it will be UC and we will beat Lville for the 5th straight year.Pick6;1266603 wrote:Pitt was a favorite to win the Big East this season I believe.

The Big East is the worst conference. Cinci is not a good team; they are lucky to be in the FBS division much less in D1.goosebumps;1266414 wrote:I know I'm a UC homer, but I think they should be a top 25 team. probably somewhere between 22 and 25 right now.

In the USA poll, Ohio U lost votes (from 10/11 to 2) for beating New Mexico State. Who, like everyone else in college football, could probably take Pitt. One of those things that happens for whatever reason.goosebumps;1266591 wrote:So we should lose votes for winning a game?

Every team is going to a bowl this season? cool :rolleyes:goosebumps;1269377 wrote:Enjoy watching everyone else's teams during bowl season.
Ohio State and the NCAA, in a collaborative effort and decision, have decided in in order to fully clean the slate of the transgressions that occured at Ohio State, that they should sit out this bowl season.goosebumps;1269377 wrote:Enjoy watching everyone else's teams during bowl season.
