In essence, MTSU was competitive in most games they played, and Temple, save for a few lucky games, was blown out by most teams they played.

I hate to change the course of this discussion but....I was on the Temple Web site and I don't see MTSU any where on their schedule.

wow, they played within 5 points of a Pitt team that played in a BCS bowl last year, and not within 10 of anybody else...

Amazing isn't it. And PSU only lost to Iowa by 2 points. Yet PSU stayed home again for the holidays and Iowa went on to win a bowl game. Really amazing!!

First off Hollywood, there is no Middle Tennessee State vs. Temple game this year. The weakest opponent Temple faces is Western Michigan, which, by the way, is worse than Middle Tennessee State. But if there was one, I'd take MTSU for 20 dollars, and put my money where my mouth is, because Temple is really that horrible. And Hollywood, you are the one that has no clue about college football, with your beloved Big lEast conference being only a small stutter step ahead of the non-BCS leagues, but you're too dense and too stupid to admit it. I'll tell you what though. Since you know so much about college football, in the sports forum I have a post predicting the outcome of EVERY Division I-A game. Why don't you go in there and try your hand at it, since with all your knowledge, you must surely know who will win every game? So far I have correctly guessed about 85% of the games for this past week, from the showdown between Georgia Tech and Auburn, to the obscure North Texas vs. Middle Tennessee State game. Let's see you predict every game, from the big time Tennessee and Florida game, to the wee little Western Carolina vs. Cincinnati game. If you're so knowledgable, I want to see how good you are at forecasting college football games. Let's see it.

What does knowledge have to do with guessing? Every year I'm in a football bowl pool, where you have to just pick the winners of 27 bowl games. Anyone can get in. Two out of the last 3 years a woman has won it. One picked her winners based on the mascot, the other selected her winners based on school colors. So much for KNOWLEDGE of the game!!!!

What's Hollywood have to prove by guessing at winners? It's like making O.J. try on the glove. If he doesn't GUESS as good as you guys, it's a NO win situation.

Talking about MTSU, they are probably going to get 2nd place int eh Sun Belt this year. They have a better team than last year. They almost beat UNT last weekend but lost 14-7. They'd beat Temple by at least 20.
