Today's thoughts:**I was wrong about Clay Helton**Chip Kelly might be a worse coach at this point**Alabama's defense isn't what it usually is**Ohio State may be the best team not named Clemson
What was your thought on Helton? That he was getting a bad rap and is just fine?
Chip Kelly just looks like he's out of ideas. He's an offensive genius who brought forth a whole new style and way of looking at offense. But everyone has adopted and adapted and he just looks like he got caught up in the wash. And doesn't seem all too willing to evolve. Plus he doesn't have the horses.
When does Uw-Madison extension play a real school this year? Three warm-ups plus the Big Ten west which is a joke each year.
Please. While they were significantly overrated last year, this year they look like a genuine playoff threat. And Coan is a tremendous upgrade at the QB spot.
All may be true, but they play a joke schedule every year and seem to not be able to win the big games agains the elite teams....until they finally do, that’s the perception. Other than OSU this year, this schedule is an absolute farce as it almost always is...then they wonder why they cannot win against the big boys after playing marshmallows all year.Today is another example of why there should be no preseason rankings for football. Meat chicken is awful and Coach Khacki looks lost.
They play Michigan, Michigan State, Iowa, and Ohio State. Who else should they have to play that they’re avoiding? Would adding PSU make their schedule go from “playing marshmallows all year” to a legit schedule?
In conference yes. They aren’t playing anyone worthwhile out of conference.
But why would they? If they play anyone, even Clemson or Bama, and lose they miss out on the Playoffs even if they win out. But if they play nobody and win all their B1G games they go to the Playoffs. There’s no reward for playing someone good out of conference.
Wisconsin has been good with adding quality non conference teams lately. But my guess is that they declined to do so this year due to Michigan and Ohio State being on their schedule.
Michigan sucks. Iowa, please. The west is a joke every damn year. They get 5 wins before playing a game because of their division. Let’s put it this way, would you rather be in the east or the west? There is only one right answer on this. Their out of conference schedule is laughable as is usually the case.I think they are a good team, and have a Heisman candidate back....and they will be highly ranked all year because of the soft schedule, but until they finally win a meaningful game on the national stage that’s where I am.
IDK, LSU recently; Notre Dame upcoming. They've also won 5 straight bowl games. Maybe they should schedule the Pac 12. Real football.
