Could be. But I'm guessing 3-2. Either way I was just explain why the computer situation was what it is

Minnesota could very well be sitting at 0-5 this season. And it's not like the teams they've beaten are really worth anything. Ohio is 80th in Sagarin, Colorado State is 97th in Sagarin and Kent State is 150th in Sagarin. If you beat one of the worst teams in the FBS by 3 at home, that's not a good look.

Discounts that close win TCU had against Minne then doesn't it?

TCU struggles on the road, remember the Kansas game last year? TCU played like crap against Minnesota. And IMO that game was never it doubt despite the score.

Definitely better at home than on the road. But, who isn't? And you are totally correct.

That Kansas game last year was an absolute clunker on their part. I know they were a hell of a lot better than Ole Miss last year at a neutral site!

But this year, I'm still not convinced they can stop anybody that has a decent offense until they get some players back from injury...if they ever get 'em back. They'll have to outscore people which may drive Patterson crazy. But, their offense has the ability to do that.

It's weird how when some teams play a close game or lose it's ALWAYS,only because they played bad. Why are some teams afforded that luxury but others arent?

Good question. They all should be afforded such. After all, they are 18-22 year olds males. Not always the most consistently rational creatures in the world. There is only one thing they are consistent about...and we all know what that is.

If it's an SEC team they should afforded the benefit of the doubt. If it's anyone else it's because they actually suck.

I'm assuming you're referring to the TCU/Minnesota game? TCU played poorly. No other way around it really.

Sure man. I'm sure Minnesota had nothing to do with it

Funny how the ND guise really pull for the PAC/B1G.

Indy's that nutswing on two different conferences.

Did you watch the game? TCU turned it over 2 times that game(which equals the amount in the other 4 games combined) Both were in the red zone I believe. They missed a chip shot fg. As bad as TCU played they still dominated Minnesota. Minnesota scored with a minute left to make the score/yardage look more respectable.

If TCU would have had those same miscues since that game I would say that's a trend and who they are. But they haven't. Leads me to believe they played poorly that night.

You clearly have no clue what you're talking about.

Eh TCU ranks 70th in turnover margin. That seems like a trend to me

And that is completely different from what I was talking about.

Turnover margin isn't relevant when discussing turnovers? Sounds like the TCU D needs to force some.

Turnover margin, yes, is irrelevant when I'm talking about turnovers lost. They are two completely different things. One is a statistic involving just offense. One is a statistic involving offense and defense.

TCU doesn't have a D. They are in the Big 12. No teams in the Big 12 play defense. It is a widely known fact.

Okie State currently has the best defensive ranking @ # 24. The worst is TT @ # 124.
