[QUOTE="altgeld88, post: 1808268, member: 2886"] I checked Sagarin's ratings this morning for the first time in a while. We're #22 there and #53 in strength of schedule. Was interested to see that Michigan's scheduling (mostly because of its games v. UConn, Hawaii and Colorado State) puts its SOS at #69. We're immediately behind 5-3 Mississippi State; its SOS is #5. I would like to have seen stronger BT teams on our schedule this year (e.g., Penn State and an Iowa team that has a credible offense) to gauge just what we really have under the hood. But we'll see on Nov. 19. Despite the relatively weak schedule I'm optimistic that we can hang wire-to-wire with Michigan on the road if we clean up the penalties and don't call timeouts when our kicker is setting up for long field goals. :oops::cautious: But 7-1 on Halloween? [I][B]That[/B][/I] is a treat indeed.:illinois: [/QUOTE]
