Re: Cupcake schedules
I'll give you Fla International and Coastal Carolina, but the rest of those teams Penn State scheduled as cupcakes all ended up better than they were supposed to be, based on some idiot's preseason ranking. How in the hell you can rank teams from 1-119 before a snap is taken, is beyond me. What's so different about teams 80-119? All you can do in the preseason is name about 15 teams who might have a chance to win their conference or a national title.
And as for those Sagarin rankings, they don't mean jack either. I can come up with all sorts of categories and statistics to prove why the dump I took at the Point Stadium was better than the one I took at Santo's up in Westmont. The rankings are all a joke, Vman. That's why I talk about it so much. Who the hell are Athlon Sports and how do they figure that 3 months before the season starts, Eastern Michigan is 25 spots better than Florida Atlantic? I gave you many examples of the garbage in those magazines, but since I am awaiting a phone call and I am too lazy to get up off the chair to take a shower right now, I'll reiterate just because we are such old friends.
1. Auburn has a new offensive system, 2 new coordinators, and a new QB. Top ten team, supposedly.
2. WVU returns all new coaches except 2 and has 4 returning defensive guys, and lost 3 of top 4 weapons on O. Top ten team.
3. Penn State brings back 18 of 22 starters, lost their offensive hinderance, staff intact except safeties coach, and they are only a top 25 team.
4. UCONN, Wake, Pitt, Kansas, and LSU are all 5-star defenses, because Pitt has a kid who led the nation in tackles, and LSU brings back 4 people.
5. Clemson's O-line gives up 11 sacks in the spring game and they are a national title contender.
6. BYU returns 1 LB and 2 DL and they are ranked 13 in the country.
It is absolutely pathetic. Do they draw names out of a hat? Wisconsin returns 10 starters on O and 9 on D and they are barely a top 20 team.

Re: Cupcake schedules
Let's see, first Pat White hardly played in the back yard brawl and now Richrod threw the game and a chance at the National Championship. Good one frostlion.
