UConn

[Plum Street]

I have no idea.
It has nothing to do with pro/con Rutgers/Schiano.

I just always thought it was dumb.
In all sports.
Giants beat Titans early.
Everyone was shitting on Tennessee preseason and pumping up the Colts at the time.
Well a win over Tennessee seems a lot more impressive now than a win over the Colts.

Only using end of season rankings isn't perfect (injuries could derail a season after you play).

Everyone agrees early and mid season rankings are questionable at best.
There's people saying Liberty was a "fake ranked team" to denigrate the UConn win.

That’s why you just got to worry about and beat who is on your schedule

Nick … timing of losses affect end of season ranking too. Early losses matter less. In fact, no matter when the ranking, it’s still just a snapshot.

But nevermind our opponents for a moment. Was our peak 2006 ranking legit ? Or was that phony too ?

Rankings do mean something, no matter when. It’s just one measure.

lol

I have no idea what a "fake ranked team" is but Liberty is not close to being one of the top 25 teams in the country.

He has certainly turned around a really, really bad program to respectability. How high he can take them is another question. But Massey Composite and other rankings might soon put them higher than us so our Schiano fans might want to consider what that means.

Rutgers would beat UCONN by 21+

We barely beat Temple and UConn is a better team. It's hard to say how a match up would turn out. Maybe it would be an easy victory, but I wouldn't assume it.

We certainly know the UCONN HC is significantly better than Schiano. Gives them a huge advantage.
Game would be close.

This is exhibit 1 of why you're a tool.

If only it was the first exhibit...

Geez, what idiots UConn would sell their souls to be RU-- stop this idiocy

We have many fans who think the team is better than it probably is.

PSU and MD games will be a good indication of where our team is. Greg says that we’re a far better team in November than in September.

We shall see.

We would be favored by ~14 points. It would be close sometimes and we would even lose sometimes, but we are the significantly stronger team.

Better without Brown and Jennings? Do not think so.

Dear god… is this really a thread arguing over UConn? Honestly who tf cares? I’m the biggest schiano critic on this board and I’ll be the first to tell you we’d have 7 wins already with their schedule. Particularly with a healthy Gavin.

Seeing what I’ve seen from Gavin, and the potential he brings, I’m willing to give Greg next year to show significant w/l improvement. As for UConn, they’ll have 1 winning season in 15 years… get over yourself
