    Our strength of schedule is lower than the Rams and Colts as of now but by the end of the season my guess is we have the highest looking at who all the teams play. Which is also why I think the Colts and Rams are likely to pick up some wins.

    The Rams will win a couple of games. I'm not so sure the Colts will win a game. Maybe, maybe they beat a Jacksonville or Tennessee, but I don't see more than 1 coming from them. I want Andrew Luck as much as anyone, but I don't know if it's in the cards. We have a team capable of winning a few games.

    Just as it is a crap shoot about SFL yet that's all we hear about, pretty much.

    Right now, our SOS is easier than the Colts. So, if we wind up with the same record, we win over them cuz we suxed worse because of an easier schedule. I wasn't doing any math just comparing our SOS to theirs. There's too much time left to worry about getting too technical. It was just a generic statement.

    No, just last year only. He is now a red shirt junior now, an academic senior. He doesn't have his degree yet and is on track to earn it at the spring quarter.

    LOL, don't look at Gunner's post it will just confuse you. SoS% is not hard to calc and understand ESPN & NFL are not wrong.

    Thru week 7 its how I showed it to be. But will change. And seeking fewest wins is all that matters for now.

    I don't know why people think we're going to win 3 games or more or are so much better than the Colts.

    We basically have a 3rd string starting QB with Bruised Ribs, and could soon be on a QB who hasn't played since 2009 in the UFL.... Our Starting RB keeps getting hurt so we only have Bush who isn't being used correctly (only 10 times this season he's been used on the outside or in passing mode) and can't consistently run up the middle. So they keep running him up the middle instead of throwing screens and pitches. The O-Line is terrible and even Long is struggling, though coming off surgery. The secondary lacks depth, and our starting FS is hurt, and he's mediocre to begin with. Vontae is also banged up, as is Dansby apparently...which leaves Burnett inside and he's the lowest rated ILB in the NFL right now. And our coaching staff is on the way out by January.

    So our only strength right now is our kicker/punter and Defensive Linemen, but when QBs have Zero fear of your secondary that hurts the Line because they can just toss the ball with little worry about INTs before pressure arrives. Dumb luck is the only way we win 3 games.

    IMO the problem is there is just enough talent on this team, and Sparano is just dumb enough that we will likely win a game or 2 and be out of the SFL race anyway. How does that old saying go?

    In all honesty, I don't really to actually have the 1st overall pick next yr anyway. Not unless we sell the farm and even then, I do expect to be in the top 5 tho and think it would be foolish to give up too much just to get Luck at that point. I'm just glad at least that this yr is a QB rich draft.
