    Yeah. Looking at their results, I guess I was more focused on the 14's than the 35's they've given up. Dominated some weeks. They are still loaded on that side of the ball though it seems

    wow, I didn't realize how awful Clemson's schedule is. the one team they played that is approaching or exceeding a middling football team they got their doors blown off and since then it was UVA, FSU, NCSU, Wake, Stanford, and App State. yeesh.

    they're gonna make a bowl in a year where everyone had him shit canned by week 5
    And has their future QB locked in with him

    you cant fire him and land any worthwhile coach

    You could have gotten out of the Ball State or Florida A&M games instead.

    Don't think that was an option. Pretty sure UM v. ND was supposed to take place Nov 23rd which is when the ND v. Army game is. ND would have had to re-arrange their entire schedule to get UM v. ND done during the first 4 weeks of the season.

    that's why I have argued it made no sense to fire him now and set the new guy up for failure

    let him have 2024. let him integrate DJ. let him begin 2025 with Lagway as his QB. meanwhile find a new President and AD, if the team is a disaster by Halloween 2025 then you fire him

    seems UF is now following this playbook

    That has as much to do with the 1st half of the schedule being nowhere near as bad as people initially thought.

    Their wins are against
    FCS Samford
    1-7 Miss St
    3-5 UCF
    3-5 Kentucky

    The expectations were so low for UF that 3 wins against FBS opponents with a combined record of 7-17 is considered "good"

    Agree with most besides Pitt, they have the 101st ranked schedule. How many teams would be undefeated with their schedule? Probably 15-20ish, imo. What would Pitts record be if they played a top 25 schedule? No ranked wins, barely beat Cincy, West Virginia, and Cal. Like Liberty last year, you shouldn’t just rank a team high because they’re undefeated against a bad schedule.

    OSU v. Indiana is the more interesting conversation.

    If you compare each team's wins, Indiana has the much better resume.

    OSU has a close loss to Oregon as the best thing on their resume.

    OSU is #4 and Indiana is #13

    Indiana def doesn’t have a much better resume. They’re close, imo. Indiana has a much weaker SOS, each have a blowout win over a 5-3 B1G game. That’s Indiana’s only win over a team with a winning record. OSU has a close win against another 5-3 B1G. And two more wins against G5 teams with winning records.

    Ohio State:
    1 pt loss on road to #1 8-0 Oregon
    Blowout win vs 5-3 Iowa
    Close win vs 5-3 Nebraska

    Indiana:
    Blowout win vs 5-3 Nebraska
    2 score win vs 4-4 Washington
    2 score win vs 4-4 Maryland

    Right. What im saying is that I believe Miami vacated the Nov 23 spot on your calendar, and you filled it with Army.

    He doesn’t give credit for FCS wins and he doesn’t penalize for losses to strong teams, so yes

    How long until people are calling for a 4 team conference playoff?

    These mega conferences are an absolute disaster.
