[Dr. Strangelove]

Clemson still at #5? Really?

[AlabamAlum]

Yeah. I don’t get it.

[AlabamAlum]

You would think it’s all stat based, but Bama’s stats aren’t that good. I was expecting us to be 8th or so.

[AlabamAlum]

And Miami 24th? They’re just not good at all.

[froot loops]

Doesn't that index use recruiting rankings as part.of their process? That must explain why the Spartans are not even in that ranking. A lot of their high performers are transfers who are producing but were low rated backups at other schools. But the Spartans kicked the shit out of Miami in Miami, that should account for something.

Right now the B10 is a battle between Sparty, M and Penn State.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Sparty? Really? Sparty was owned by the Huskers everywhere but the scoreboard Saturday night. UNL ran 31 more plays than the Spartans, had 442 yards to Sparty's 254, and did not allow a first down to Sparty in the entire second half.

Yes stats are for losers...and fuckin' Frosty is inventing ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory time and time again. But UNL dominated Sparty...dominated. Fucking punt return for a TD because the fucking moron punter kicked the ball to the wrong side of the field.

Sparty will lose at least 3 games this year. Minimum.

[AlabamAlum]

You sound bitter. Frost still had that Dollar General UCF trophy in his office. Stay the course.

[THE_WIZARD_]

STFU

[froot loops]

I mean special teams is part of the game and your punter was the Spartan emergency punter from a couple years ago.

If you dominate, you should score more than 20 points That's not really dominating.

[THE_WIZARD_]

No our offense did not dominate. Our defense absolutely shoved it up your ass. No first downs in the second half?

3 losses. Minimum. Just calling it like I see it.

[lineygoblue]

Don't count on Michigan to hang a L on them

[Hannibal]

You can dominate and lose. Football is like that.
