Herbstreit's early preseason top 5

[King Crimson]

"by the third year".

code for not getting his ass kicked by Oklahoma.

[T REX]

Uhhhh...THREE of those OOC games are against BOWL teams.

Southern Miss is always decent. UCF was decent. ANd FSU is FSU. Not sure what the problem is besides a bunch of bitching and moaning.

steve: I am sure that USC's schedule was made before SOS arrived LAST YEAR.

Navy and BYU are bowl teams, too. What's your point?

Those three OCC games, where are they being played? Exactly.

Never stray too far away from home. Wouldn't want to play any tough teams OCC on their turf. FSU doesn't count. They're in the same state.

I guess Opie is as big of a pussy as his good friend Robert Davie.

I guess it is hard for someone NOT in a conference. Maybe you count your .500 record in the big ten maybe you don't. Not sure but you have trouble grasping the obvious.

You still have not answered my question.....why do we need to make the hardest schedule harder?

[Killian]

Do you have a link that it's the hardest schedule?

I've answered this time and time again. You're schedule is a joke because you don't have a game more than 600 miles away from your campus. You play every single game in the south. You never, ever leave your region to play a game. That is pussy.

So you start off the OOC slate with two tough games against Southern Miss and Central Florida, both of which are at home.

"They're both bowl teams!!!!" So fucking what. They're Southern Miss and Central Florida.

Then you play Tennessee, who had a losing record last season and appear to be in the same shape this year. Still no QB leadership, still have Fulmer running the show.

Kentucky is next. Joke.

Then we have Alabama. They had a great season last year. They're also losing their QB and their best player (Prothro) probably won't be back for this game and if he is, he won't be 100%. Game looks tough, but this shouldn't be a problem. After all, they could hardly score last year with Croyle, oh wait. Yeah, never mind.

Next up is LSU. This will be a tough game. Maybe they can turn the ball over 5 times to you again and give you a second chance. You do know how hard it is to lose a game when you force 5 turnovers, don't you?

Then we have Auburn. Two tough teams in a row, congrats.

After your bye, you get Georgia. A team who lost it's starting QB, and a team you barely beat when they were playing a back-up legacy. Three tough games in a row. Wow, I'd be impressed if this was UF's doing. But because they are pussies, I know they would be looking for a way out of it. This is the result of circumstance, not choice.

Then Vandy. Cutler is gone so this should be a walk. Of course, it took some bullshit officiating for you guys to get out of this one last year, so you never know.

South Carolina. SOS will likely spank Opie around again and tell him not to come out after supper.

Western Carolina. Whew! How are you going to get by this monster! Oh yeah, because it's an OOC cupcake and it's at home. UF=Pussy.

FSU. Your lone, ballsy OOC game. But where is it? Florida! Again, this game is the result of circumstance, not choice.

So I guess you're right. You do have a tough schedule when you factor the good teams in with the ones Opie could barely scrape by last year, it should make for an interesting 2006.

You know, ND had the hardest schedule in the country last year. Just look at it! Oh, but look at it before September because that's when it looks really tough.

You have a tough schedule. So does Vandy, but they're playing Michigan. So did Tennessee last year, but they played Notre Dame. So did Auburn a few years ago, but they played USC. LSU did too, but they have played ASU and ND.

Hell, I'd have respect for UF if they even went to play another warm weather team like Arizona, ASU, USC or UCLA. But as of now, fucking pussies.

Is it that hard to understand? It's like the kid who always wants to play you one on one on his rim. It's pussy.

Until Opie and UF decide to play someone outside of the 600 mile buble they are forced to have, they are pussies.

[Killian]

Oh yeah, I responded to your question, so answer mine.

Why is UF the only team that is expected to have dramatic improvement? And how will this happen with someone who can't run Opie's system?

NOTRE-TARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tenn will have a losing season again. I will take that bet all day long and I hate em.

Just take the bet that UF will have a top 5 SOS in the last BCS.

$100 right now.

I love how you discount FSU and Miami because they are in-state. Should I discount Michigan?

You still make zero sense.

Anmd to answer your question.......year TWI is when the players make that leap. We'll see. Till then the point is moot.

NOTRE-FUCKING-TARD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since when are scUM and the Golden Domers in the same state????

You're very mature for your age. At least I haven't cause a full scale melt, just a mini one.

So let me get this straight, you want to bet that Tennessee does have a losing record? Sure, you can have that bet. I think they'll be above .500 this year. So if I take the bet of UF's SOS, the worst I'll do is break even. I was curious, do you mean $100 in this ? Because I think you may have to take a loan from someone to cover your bets.

And you're not smart enough to "bait" anyone or anything except the stick you use in the mud puddle after it rains. If FSU or Miami taught your school how to play the game of football and you have that history with them, then you can compare either to Michigan. Or if UF and one of the others ever get 1 and 2 in wins or winning percentage. What do you say about USC? Seeing as how they are ND's main rival, and they actually have to change time zones when they play?

So in year two, Leak and the UF offense is going to have marked improvement, but ND's defense can't expect the same?

Walk away.

[T REX]

Tenn WILL NOT have a losing record you fucking tard. You knew what I meant or you're just plain stupid.

Borrow money?

You know nothing about me. Zero.

Its funny what people say behind the keyboard.

This is old.......

[Killian]

Borrow "bode" you fucking humorless dolt.

You typed what you typed, not me.

You should try to be more clear when you post.

Excellent and well thought out opinions on why year two is different than year one. I completely see you point now.
