USA Today's Way-Too-Early Top 25 for 2020

[Deep Creek]

I just wanna know why the Pac 12 is a bunch of pussies in OOC scheduling?

They eat quiche and kale.

Spoiler: But

I actually like quiche. But, we hicks call it egg pie!

Well, seeing as that is the ONLY Sports title Oregon has won EVER, in a manly sport, in any of our lifetimes, and I've witnessed UMn win 3 in one year before, and over a dozen just in the 21st century, I suppose I should be nice and let him have that one little bit of joy in life that he gets from his school having won the most recent title, lol. Especially when UMn has a good chance to win another Title this winter.

So Minnesota’s last “manly title” was women’s hockey?

I sure and the hell hope you don't fvck your chili up by putting beans in it.

I do. It's what makes chili somewhat healthy.

But I don't put it on a plate of pasta, so it's not THAT bad.

Minnesota
After a breakout 11-win season in 2019, Minnesota’s next quest is to win the Big Ten West Division. Coach P.J. Fleck’s squad will be a top 25 team next fall, and there’s no shortage of firepower on offense with the return of quarterback Tanner Morgan, an experienced line and receiver Rashod Bateman. But in order for Minnesota to finish atop the division, Fleck’s defense will have to replace standout edge rusher Carter Coughlin and All-America safety Antoine Winfield.

No, I understand the math. I also understand that playing 8 games against the SEC is tougher than 9 games against the Pac 12. I'm sure A&M would have loved to play road games against Zona, Stanford, Colorado and Oregon State, as opposed to at UGA and at LSU. Hell give em Utah's schedule they probably run the table undefeated. On top of that they scheduled Clemson OOC.

i like how you picked Pac 12 4 non bowl teams and bottom of each divisions and compared it to SEC Championship game teams.

Oh. Apologies. What else would like me to do when I'm comparing Washington's schedule with that of A&M's. Do you want me to pick teams Washington didn't actually play last year? Lol.

 

[DHoey]

Not a TAMU fan, but they were far better than their 8-5 record indicated last year - their losses where to @LSU, @Clemson, @UGA, Alabama (with Tua) and Auburn. Tell me which teams that played those 5 teams wouldn't have 5 losses.

If you look the teams that were ranked 15-25 last year, there is no question all 10 of them would have lost all 5 of those games.

Doesn't losing to top teams make you better?

Locals in Cincinnati love Skyline Chili.



I wouldn't feed that slop to my neighbors dog.

Hey quit picking on Minnesota! Don't you know they won 5 football national title between 1934 & 1941?

 

[Wamu]

Damn right it does. Why do you think Jim Harbaugh's such a great coach? Dabo's jealous of JH's 2-10 record vs. top 10 teams.

YES.

 

[Wamu]

YES.

Did you know that the University of Colorado won the Collegiate Cannabis Cup last year? And they should be rolling to another title this year.

You could have been more subtle there, the delivery was a bit blunt.

Why is Oregon ahead of Minnesota? Don't they know about the Fortune 500 companies?

He has a chronic problem with that.

Sometimes subtlety is needed. Other times you need to shit or get off the pot.

Sometimes it’s hard to weed out when to be subtle and when not to be.

That's true, and no matter what approach you take, it always seems that the grass is greener on the other side.
