They're certainly not the 7th best team in the nation and Stanford isn't the 5th best.

THey just look different without the killer TEs Ertz and Toilolo.

Turning the ball over against scrubs, not forcing turnovers.

Led Army by 7 at half and only won by 14.....

I try to avoid judging a team off one game... if it becomes a trend then I'll have my doubts... but Bama looked mortal against Georgia Southern last year, A&M looked weak against LA Tech before beating Bama, etc etc...

Maybe they won't make the nc game and be forced to masticate another SEC team.

Who has looked that good this year though outside of possibly Oregon and Clemson?

It's early in the season and all, but almost all cfb teams have looked fairly mediocre at times this season.

Gonna meet you half way on this. "Not very good" ? I'll disagree, but will concur that we certainly don't look like a top 10.

We have alot of work to do & playing the likes of Florida International & Eastern KY will NOT offer us the type of challenges we need to make the necessary improvements. Nothing we can do about the schedule...it sucks out loud - but there's nothing we can do but lineup & play - try to improve and use each game as a practice. As much as I'd love to see us play a Georgia, a Stanford or a Oklahoma - I know for a fact that we'd take a few lumps. I believe we could hold our own against stiff competition, but more importantly, these games would prove invaluable in building our program - and challenge a team that is loaded with talent - but simply un proven.

It's gonna hurt Big Time if/when we get to a BCS Bowl. I just know it.

Regardless....Stay'in Strong in Louisville.

I believe you're right 4thDown - but it's still hard to be excited about how this season is playing out.

What's frustrating is that we have a boat load of talent but can't truly put it on display. Sure we can score 40 or 50 points & Teddy can rack up sick numbers...but I'd sure feel better if we could find out for certain, that we could do the same against ranked teams.

You'll get your shot October 18th. I'm not saying Central Florida is elite, but they have some talent. Bortles is a good QB and Storm Johnson is a beast at RB. They have looked very impressive this year so far, so I'm looking forward to seeing the game this Saturday vs. SCar to see what they're made of for real.

Can you imagine if they could beat SCarolina? Long shot, but omg if that happens.

This board would erupt with talks of the SEC crumbling, I can see it now.

S'what I'm talk'in about....UCF just beat Penn St and they have S Carlonia comin up ! They'll be tested & battle ready. Think they'll be ready for Louisville ? ? ? I sure do.

But I got faith in our guys and most of all in C Strong. He'll have'em ready.
