Dolfan in NYC Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 THE Ohio State moved into the top 5. Zero U drops down one. And to give you some idea of the bullshit that is the ratings: Michigan (rightly) drops to 20 after getting handed their heads. But Utah drops just as far in a close loss, and WaSu got knocked out of the top 25 altogether. Meanwhile stupid Notre Dame only drops 3 spots after their loss. yuck.

Brian Fowler Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Yeah. There is no way to argue Michigan is one of the twenty five best teams in the country. An uninspired win over a bad small program, a double overtime win over a service academy, and then got absolutely waxed by the first real opponent they faced... You can't find 25 better teams than that?!? I mean, I want them to suddenly turn it around and win out and yada yada, but they are not a team that belongs in the polls.

The dirty little secret is that Don Brown is not a good defensive coach. His system puts up spectacular numbers against bad teams and gets exposed by good ones. This past weekend, Michigan's defense looked poorly coached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it just took a rather unfortunate turn for the guy. TLDR: he sent a couple of douchebro tweets back in high school, DMR reporter tracked them down, ohai cancel culture.

Brian Fowler Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 How dumb do you have to be to dig up 7 year old racist tweets from someone but not scrub your own account for the racist and homophobic tweets you'd made, some more recent than his? I mean, in a perfect world, neither of them ever would've tweeted any of it, but glass house, stones, ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Those first 2 weeks of the season must feel like decades ago for Maryland. I mean Penn State was the clear favorite but 38-0 at the half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) Ah, there's nothing quite like a game against Rutgers to make you mentally pretend your team has turned it around. Edited September 28, 2019 by Brian Fowler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just reminds me what a catastrophe for the sport the Big East falling apart was. It basically killed the programs of Syracuse, Pitt, Rutgers, UCONN and BC. The Big East was perfect for Rutgers because it was a level they could be competitive at, they have no prayer in the Big 10 and never will.
