Eyeball test from watching both teams in person and watching both teams' offensive and defensive lines, Syracuse is a better team than Auburn.

I don't think we can say the same for Louisville.

When Syracuse gets Dungey back at QB, they're going to be pretty decent. They'll make a bowl game. Louisville won't.

But maybe they dont. Memphis (4-0), Temple (4-0), Navy (4-0) are all just outside the top 25. Cincy is a quality team as well.


Memphis still has to play Ole Miss

Temple and Navy both have to play Notre Dame

Cincinnati already has 2 losses. They aren't sniffing Top 25 unless they run the table from here on out, which would mean beating Houston

Plus all 4 of those teams are in the same division and all play each other. So they will beat each other up.

Combine that with their strong non conference opponents still scheduled, it's likely none of them will be Top 25 come the final playoff ranking, and at most 1 will be ranked.

Guys who didn't play v LSU are irrelevant when talking about who has played the tougher schedule. No way LSU is -24 playing at Louisville. More like -14.

I was on 2 hours of sleep back-to-back nights.

Anyways, their D-line held up very well, all things considered. Fournette had a bunch of yards, yes. But he's going to have a bunch of yards on everyone.

The punt return was obviously a big play in the game that got LSU going. LSU's offensive line came out flat, but I don't think any other group did.

I have no doubts after watching both Syracuse and Auburn that Syracuse would win that game. People just get caught up in Auburn's SEC affiliation. They are horrible. Will not win a game in conference. Yet, Louisville couldn't beat them, and they were getting blown out at a point in the game.

Louisville blows.

Not totally correct, Houston and Memphis are in the West division while Temple and Navy are in the East division. Houston doesnt play Temply in the regular season. Houston would play Temple in the AAC championship game.

Ok? You made a comment about LSUs schedule was easier than Ohio states.


No I didn't. I corrected your error.

Mississippi State? I'd take VT at home over them.

NIU vs Miss St on a neutral would be a toss up.

what about a neutral field? You know, how you should compare teams

Mississippi State is probably a little better than Tech. I don't really have a good read on State yet, because I think Auburn is really bad. Wouldn't surprise me if they finished 6th in the West still.

Temple will most likely be 7-0 playing at home in Philadelphia against Notre Dame...that game could be the biggest game in the history of Temple football. That game will be huge! Also, Memphis will be 5-0 playing at home against Ole Miss. That game will be huge as well. The AAC is a solid conference at the top this year. Houston, Temple, Memphis and Navy are really really good football teams this year.

Ohio State didn't play VT on a neutral field. Blacksburg at night is as tough as anywhere.

Not at all. I'm just pointing out that we haven't played three shitty teams.

one of two things going on here:
1) You're trolling.
2) You honestly think that's a good comparison, which means you're a fricking idiot.
