Last game vs USC should be exciting, hoping for a basketball syracuse upset, is it too much to ask for?

 

[NDPhilly]

MSU is way overrated IMO

 

[GBdomer]

Try not to think about our schedule but thank you for all the reminders lol

 

[clashmore_mike]

Ohio State LOL

 

[Buster Bluth]

The SEC has five teams in the top ten, and all of them deserve it (except maybe Arkansas). That is unreal.

Michigan State and Stanford will barely be top 20-25 teams next year.

 

[Buster Bluth]

Ohio State LOL

Also, this.

 

[STLDomer]

USC: deserving
OK: should be around 8-12 IMO
UM: should be in 20s
Mich St: should be in 20s
Stanford: should be in 20s
Ohio St, Texas and OK st should be unranked

 

[koonja]

24 is pretty generous for us, IMO.

 

[ThePiombino]

UM @10 is laughable

UM @10 is laughable

They did go 10-2 and win the Sugar bowl and bring back most of their team.

I usually refrain from playing this card on our rivals... but yeah... I don't expect either to be as strong this year... time will tell... just think though, what if ND just loses the games they are supposed to according to this... 5 loss season at best...

 

[BestBIrish47]

Denard Robinson has a Mangina....a fast one..but still...
MSU and Stanford will be 20s or unranked IMO. SC and OU will not be enjoyable. I think we beat MSU..Stanford...lose SC and OU. That leaves those bastards from Ann Arbor as our swing game....again. I don't know if I can stomach loses to Michigan and SC in the same year again.

better work your stomach muscles bra... very few outside of this fan base are expecting anything but loses to those teams and with good reason... hopefully we can answer the beel for a big game or two this year... but that hasn't happened much latley either so...

 

[arrowryan]

How is MSU ranked? They are losing all of their game changers on offense

Respect for last year plus a beast defense, if worthy would have stayed they would have been so scary

I didn't think their defense was that great. They were good, but nothing special

 

[ThePiombino]

I think most of us on this board would agree that the UM 2011 season was more of an apparition than anything else.

Absolutely.

 

[koonja]

I think most of us on this board would agree that the UM 2011 season was more of an apparition than anything else.

Of course most people would on a ND board! Lol. I thought it was bogus how they won a few of their early games, and most of us thought their close games would come back to bite them throughout the season, but it didn't at all. At the end of the day it's about winning games, and they did.

 

[Veer option]

I think most of us on this board would agree that the UM 2011 season was more of an apparition than anything else.

So they didnt win 10 games and the Sugar Bowl?

*aberration

Apparition is a ghost-like figure.

I did this for dshans...

I have no problem with the skunkbears being ranked that high. While their season last year was an absolute joke, they return douche-rob and they won 10 games last year plus a BCS game. Albeit those 10 wins and BCS game were a ****ing joke.

LMAO. It does.

Agreed. Our offense forgot to wear their Huggies for the FSU game.

 

[Riddickulous]

MSU is way overrated IMO

Their defense will make or break them, IMO.

 

[NDdomer2]

All theses teams being ranked high only benefits us. If we lose to them we "should" have. If we beat them it only makes us look better.

 

[BobD]

We're movin on up.

 

[NDPhilly]

Their defense will make or break them, IMO.

I don't expect them to score many points on us at all. There weakness will be passing which is good for us. They will most likely run the ball more than last year which bodes well considering our front 7.

I agree that it's about winning games and that's what POST-season ranking are about. PRE-season rankings, which this is, is based on projections. Can you honestly tell me that UM projects to be the #10 team in the country?
