Then you should be feeling 8 wins against our schedule I’d guess, yes?

I want to do it the old fashion way – to eeeearn it.

p.s. Florida State’s schedule is almost as easy and Virginia Tech’s is easier.

Baylor, Air Force, Louisiana-Monroe, Portland State, Southern Methodist, San Diego State, New Mexico, Brigham Young, Wyoming, Boise State, Colorado State, UNLV

What would ND’s record be against this schedule? Less than 11 wins would be a huge disappointment. But they will get big kudos and people will want us to hire their coach. If you want their results, we need to hire the AD.

I’d be surprised if none of y’all pick the Aggies at some point in this top 25. If you don’t, then someone seriously overlooked SOMETHING.

“…in Gary Patterson’s tenure, without most of the general public noticing until fairly late last year, winning huge swaths of games by embarrassingly large numbers has almost become passé for TCU.”
