We are a preseason top 15 team. WE should be able to compete with any team. Will we lose some yes. We lost to ucla last year but we were in the game. They were better than us. It happens. That's sports. Can't be scared to play good teams. I've never heard of that kind of thinking.

You assume that every game we play against better competition is going to be a loss, that's absurd. |

It is absurd to assume we will lose every game against a decent team when we are a top 15-20 team |

We suck on the road and this year all those hard games are on the road there for more than half will be losses.

Did you even read coachpipe's post? Even if we were to lose them all (not gonna happen), it looks better on your resume to lose @ UCLA than win at home vs Fairleigh Dickinson, even if it's by 70. You literally cannot argue that. It is factually incorrect.

If he would rather be 35-0 and beat everyone by 30-50, than play good teams and maybe lose 8 games, there is nothing we can say. if I want to be the best team in the country, or considered a top program, I want to play other great teams and see if I can beat them. If not, what are we even playing for. If we lose, who cares. It doesn't hurt us at all

So then we have X and UCLA on the road. We could win 1 of those. They aren't so highly ranked. We potentially have Florida neutral. Let's call it a loss. I assume we can beat Iowa and Ms ST. I just don't see the loss column adding up much more this year than last year. Maybe a couple games difference. We will be a better team this year IMO. If our SOS is better and we have only 2 more regular season losses...we may be in a similar seed with better preparation heading to the dance. I just don't see 8-9 losses when we only had 4 last year. The only caveat is our home games won't have the same advantage so maybe we lose 1 home game. I could see 6-7 losses but not 8-9. |
