M-Borg vs. THE Flavortown U Thread, Orig. by Buckeye Paul, absconded w/by talent.

Clemson isn't clicking. No doubt. Same for Bama.

B10 East is pretty solid. Top 3 are good. PSU is a decent 4th especially if you have to play those asshats on the road. Maryland, IU and Rutgers are poo.

B10 West is always a shitfest of mediocrity. Iowa, Wisky and UNL are virtually interchangeable, IMO.

Purdue and Vandy ought to play every week so we can minimize the opportunities to stumble across either team on TV.

Lmao.

And Penn State did not look good in the one game I caught parts of (Pitt). They beat Temple at home by 7 yesterday. I think M wins by 3 TDs.

Penn State matches up terribly against M. They'll get raked.

They're only potentially problematic at home and even then, it almost has to be a night game. They're still feeling the pain from the sanctions...probably 1 year away from having a solid roster top-to-bottom. And then they need to upgrade that roster in order to compete against M and the other 2 in the East.

Seriously, match ups by unit or personnel?

I just did a quick search on PSU's front 7. I found injuries to starting LBs and Sophmores up front. Not sure about the back end yet.

I did look at the current FEI (efficiency). PSU is #57th, M is #4th. 59.5 v. 90.5. That's a huge differential and it holds out by unit: offense - 55.9/78.6, defense - 60.4/81.2, ST - 48.4/89.4.

By the numbers, this should be an ass kicking as you describe as raked. I know better. The numbers do seem to lie in CFB.

[entropy]

PSU would finish 4th in the west. They are not that good.

By personnel and style, Buchanan. PSU tries to play how M plays, but does so with inferior players. They won't be able to test/expose the weaknesses of M's defense.

I have no clue whether they have good corners or not. If they do then they can probably slow down M.

[froot loops]

Matchup at head coach for one.

[iam416]

Well, yeah, but that's always a massive M advantage.

[iam416]

Okudah took his OV to Oklahoma this weekend. Sooners are the second hat on the table. Okudah will be a solid add to the class.

[WingsFan]

No surprise at all Stoops lost big, Boomer is not even ranked now. OSU only chance at a loss is at MSU before M

[iam416]

There's a credible chance they'll lose in Madison.

[WingsFan]

Right mark it down 20-0

[froot loops]

Ha, there is a better chance of Trump and Obama becoming besties.

Why and WTF?

Because it's NfW only it's Wisky at their house? urbs is what, 19-0 on the road? If there is a coach and team impervious to home field advantage it is ufm and osu.

Besides, osu has all the tools. They are, by most measures and at this time, a pretty complete team ...... unless urban decides to play rope-a-dope again this time in EL. My best guess is that if the opportunity presents itself and jtb can connect on the long ball, osu will lay a beat down on Sparty and close out the scoring by going for 2 just to get Dantonio to shit his pants on a wet fart.

I'm still holding out hope for M in c-bus because of the massive coaching advantage and halo effect of HARBAUGH!!! ..... and M's D getting after and mucking up jtb's comfort level.
