ESPN "Deal with it!"
- Thread starter RUich
- Start date
Did you miss that they lost their starting QB and power rankings are inherently related to the team as they stand, not their hypothetical ceiling?
They feel we would beat Wisconsin if we played today. That is why PR’s change every week.
Not a difficult concept
Right. I understand that. But even with that explanation, that list still doesn’t make sense. We beat Penn state if we played today? Cmon. Lets try.
And the difference is what? OK Yahoo driving clicks. Literally the same thing. Thanks for the helpful correction but wouldn't it be better served pointed to the tread starter?
Other poster was implying there is some sort of conspiracy by ESPN to imply the conference is top heavy/bad.
Besides that, just silly we have so many pessimistic "fans" in this forum.
Wisconsin's backup QB is better than their previous starter. Both were transfers, sometimes the wrong guy starts first, especially when they aren't around for a long time.
Uh what? How? Mordecai clearly better than Locke. Better passer and dual threat. Locke has a lower completion percentage than Wimsatt.
Wisconsin is also missing other players that Mordecai had. Just watch the games both have played and you can plainly see Locke is the better player. Mordecai is also a RS SR and Locke is a RS FR.
For Rutgers, any mobile QB presents more of a problem than a pocket passer. I’m not saying that means we would necessarily beat Wisconsin now, but regardless, we have a better overall record than them and the same in conference record. It’s not unreasonable for someone to rank us ahead of them on this basis. I do agree PSU at 7-1 should be ahead of us based on any possible metric.
Yes. And on the all elusive, "would we win today?" measure, which apparently subjectively guides this cockamamie list
