Bottom 25 (a new #1)

[CuseJacket]

If we don't win at Temple , I'll be joining you in that view.
Last week Sagarin had us as a 8 pt neutral field favorite over Temple, this week we're a 5pt dawg

Sagarin this early doesn't mean much, imo.

Temple just beat a Maryland squad that hung 60+ on Syracuse the week before. I'm not holding my breath that Temple is a winnable game.

Shouldn't have assumed it before the season either, imo. We ranked below Temple in overall S&P+ / FEI rating last year. We are playing them away. We lost a lot of production. Not sure about Temple's attrition this offseason, but if they matched us, you'd assume they'd still be favored.

Now add in the fact they we are decimated on the OL this year.

I'd have to agree about the power ratings being volatile this early. I'm guessing we'll be about a 1 touchdown underdog.
i just hope the bye week is enough to get most of the OL back in action.

Not if we play like last week,,,,, but I'll be optimistic and guess we could get 5 of them best case to finish 6-6
temple,NC,Pitt,VT,NC St

I think we can win at least one of those, if for no other reason except that one of them will play comatose one week.

Wow did we pick a QB today?

At my old barbq days we would drink beer so long that everyone was very appreciative with ever i served. The moment he picks one, the same group will erupt.

Cgc at press conference Everyone was a singke qb so we are using statistics to select our qb. The stats say that the highest NFL QB draft picks are tall. We were close to being right as we had LJ at 6'-3". But now we have settled on 6'-4" Liam Bryne. Along with this at BDS we will be showing our fan appreciation by serving FREE BEER.
Drink up Shiners.

Hopefully at least one will take the game as a gimme like Tech did with the Citadel

I can agree with you on this one. I don't see many games that are winnable. An inept offense, along with a poorly coached defense leads to a long season.

Sadly, I think the only wins left on our schedule other than Pitt require comatose play by our opponents.

UMass holds at #1 in the Bottom 25 on 9/24/19
This sets up a #1 versus #2 showdown with mighty Akron
GT struggled with Bye falling up from #14 to #11
Stanford is in at 25
UCLA (like USF) has crawled out with one big win.
I expect that we could do the same ....

I'm a big fan of football Outsiders. However, I don't think they are as good on group 5 teams. I Gp 5 teams get overrated, maybe by not playing enuf power5 to fully integrate the rankings.
