Which team has surprised you the most this season?

[iowajerms]

Who did you think would be the last to be doing great but is doing great? Who did you think would be an amazing team but are awful? Who has surprised you the most?

 

[Tubbs1518]

Bad team - Arky

Decent team - Penn St.

Great team - Florida

 

[KansasSooner]

I'm surprised Penn State is doing as good as they are. Then there is VT, what in the hell happened to them?

 

[tideguy]

auburn! and what a wonderful surprise!!

Worst - Virginia Tech, with the quality of players they had coming back and playing in a weak ACC, I thought they would be very competitive. I knew Arkansas and the barn would be awful.

Best - Kansas ST, its nice to see someone other than Texas and Oklahoma being competitive and an actual NC contender in the Big 12.

 

[iowajerms]

I say San Jose State. They might not be amazing good or not have a strong SOS, but who would guess they would be as good as they are?

I agree with Virginia Tech being a surprise for not living up to potential. They are far from normal self.

 

[tech_iceman]

I'm surprised Iowa has won as many games as they have

 

[TigerBait1971]

KSU and UF (motherfuckers)

I am not. However, I am surprised how they have played against the teams from Michigan. Although losing to PSU doesn't surprise me, being down by 30 at half does.

 

[bonham]

Penn State is a very pleasant surprise

 

[Golden Spur]

So far, for good - Oregon St.,

for bad - VaTech

Disappointments: Arky, Auburn, Michigan, Va Tech, our sos

Surprises: UF, Ohio st., Oregon st., Penn st.

I would put Notre Dame, but they don't surprise me. They're looking good at the moment, but I think OU derails that train, and so does USC. It's not a surprise that they are a pretty good team, but if they beat both OU and USC then I'll be surprised. Just don't see it after the BYU and Stanford games.

I'm honestly surprised that Clemson is 6-1. A lot of it has to do with how bad Auburn and VT are this year, but even so, former Clemson teams would be 4-3 at this point in the season. I figured we'd win 8-9 games this year and have a chance to break out next season, but if the offense keeps scoring 30+ points a week and the defense continues to improve we may get to double digits this year.

If yaw can split NCST and SCAR, I think you'll have 10 wins. Duke is looking pretty good, so they might give you some trouble.

We should be favored in every game except the SCar game (unless they shit the bed the next couple weeks); I am worried about tonight's game and at Duke more than anything else on the schedule. If we're a good team, we win the next two and finish up with three games at home, likely 10-2 at worst. Maryland has a WR starting at QB, NC State can't score points, and the SCar game is a major toss-up right now.

And yeah, I'm worried about that Duke game. At 7 PM in front of like 10k people? I hope the team gets up for it...
