New Year's Six Predictions: Week 9(According to SportsHoopla Poll)

[Across The Field]

If we're going to use the transitive property theory, I don't see how Eastern Washington is any different than Iowa. You can probably make a case they are better than Iowa. I didn't want to do that because I don't think they're as good as Iowa though.

Yes, Nebraska has a good loss, which is the best thing going for them at this point. They'll add another good loss this weekend.

I never used the transitive property, I merely said you could call Wyoming a good win. They're 6-2 with a ranked win. If Wazzou is good, how is Wyoming at least not a quality win?

Wyoming is a quality win, much in the same realm Stanford is, at least IMO.

Stanford isn't a good win. McCaffrey hardly even played, and Burns is a horrible QB.

Guess Wyoming isn't either then...

Yes they are. Better record with better wins.

maybe if Wyoming wouldn't have lost to Eastern Michigan I would consider it.

At least Eastern Michigan isn't FCS.

And you somehow think that just because a team is labeled as an FCS program they are automatically worse than an FBS team?

Well they're not worse than Washington State, somehow, despite their many disadvantages. Hence why Wazzou is not a good team.

Noted, it's okay to say they aren't good. I just don't want to hear you say Iowa, Minnesota, Maryland, Northwestern etc are good then.

When the hell have I said that? I've already said Iowa isn't good.

That's fine, just don't say it about the other three then. So to sum up you think the B1G has 9 teams that aren't any good.

Some are average, some are bad.

If Washington State isn't a good team, the B1G should have 9 teams that aren't any good.

Nope, you'd be wrong again. Some are average, some are bad. Notice that there is an actual difference between good and average? The B1G has 2-3 elite teams, 2 good teams, several average teams and bad teams.

So the B1G has 9 teams that aren't any good. That's good to know.

Nope, still wrong. You'll understand some day. Wazzou is average, no better than Iowa. Just an average team with a weak schedule parading around as a good team despite playing nobody.

So Eastern Washington would be the 6th best team in the B1G then right?

Maybe, maybe not. I think Iowa and Northwestern would beat Wazzou, and Maryland would give them a game. They'd be no better than 6th, probably no worse than 9th or 10th, right around where Wazzou would be.

So it's not so absurd for me to suggest that Eastern Washington is equivalent to an average/above average P5 school, yet you flipped out on me suggesting that. It should be noted Iowa and NW also lost to FCS teams and in NW's case they lost to an FCS team that isn't any good.
