Over Miami, suckas!

Miami sucks.

You know...if you look at those schools in our general vicinity on that chart, except for Colorado State, that wouldn't make a horrible football conference for us once the apocalypse happens. It'll never happen, but still....I don't mind that company.

You guys are missing the most obvious:

The entire bottom left quadrant is made up our our past, present, and future schedules:

EMU
NMSU
UL-L
Rutgers
UCONN
Idaho
Marshall
Buffalo
Ball
Akron
Louisville
Kentucky

I'm sure Arkansas State's phone is ringing off the hook right now, especially after we were able to secure a home basketball game with them. Such a budding rivalry.

Conveniently overlooking the fact that a full fourth of the upper right quadrant is populated with OOC programs we have played or will be playing (NC State / NW x2 / Penn State / VA Tech x2) as well as the handful of the residents of the lower right quadrant (FL / ILL / O$U x3 / Pitt x3 / Tenn).

OUr staff clearly believes a program needs a healthy mix of money games vs building a winning tradition games to make that next step...I for one agree completely...

GoBobcats!!!!            Always have been and always will be... Ohio's First and Finest!

Of course, this whole thing is completely flawed...particularly when it comes to the MAC. Are we really to believe that Indiana is better than NIU? That game would probably be a serious beat down.

And didn't Duke just lose to a FCS team last Saturday? Clearly your conference affiliation is a big part of where you end up along the x axis.

I think "preceived" would have been better word choice than "projected" (as indeed this seems to be what the x-axis symbolizes)

This was before the season started when a lot more people were optimistic about IU.
