Hard to see any path for 6-6 for WVU but you Cousins

Sorry.
Pass.
I saw everything I would want to see attending the Bearcat beat down.

Hahahahahahaha, I don't see our bowl opponent being anywhere in UC's class, more likely a carbon copy of the Herd and a badly flawed team themselves!
No thanks on the invite. Sagarin currently ranks Marshall's strength of schedule in games played to date as 112, and with the remaining schedule that number will go down. FWIW, WVU's SOS so far is ranked as 12th toughest. We may be in for a very disappointing season but at least it's quality teams kicking our ass.

You don't think UC and Boise are quality teams? I think they're pretty good but opinions can vary!
Sagarin factored those games in and still ranked Marshall's SOS as 112th............
I asked what you thought not Sagarin but I suspects that Jeff ranks those teams highly.
Oklahoma is a 33 1/2 point favorite over the Old Fold & Blew. Let that sink in for a second...
33 1/2
33 1/2
WVU didn't play bad defense on Saturday , just got worn down by being on the field too much. Oklahoma as you inferred is a different challenge though.
Did you watch the First Half, Tony? Brock Purdy and Iowa State's back-up running back were horrible. The "pick six" was a gift handed to WVU on a silver platter, and resulted in the deserved benching of the back-up RB, who had dropped a pass just before he batted the ball perfectly into the waiting arms of a WVU DB. Iowa State's third string running back, a true freshman, ran all over WVU's defense. WVU got run off of its own field by Iowa State, so I beg to differ as to the supposedly stellar play of WVU's defense. Having said all of us, 33 1/2 points is too many, if Kendall is able to play. Oklahoma's defense is better this season, but not likely to stone WVU's offense, unless Cracker Jack Allison is behind center.
The defense did OK and played a lot of freshmen. They are decent. The offense didn't help them in the 3rd qtr and they eventually wore down and we lost Hakeem Bailey due to targeting and Cowan due to injury (out for the season). I'm encouraged by our defense. Fortune (true freshman) had a helluva game. On both sides of the ball, we played 21 freshmen and sophomores.
I didn't say they played "stellar" just didn't play horrible. But your criticism of ISU is valid in my book, not crazy about the Cyclones and I kind of like Tech getting 7 1/2 from them Saturday! Hard to trust the Red Raiders but ISU looks pedestrian to me.
I'm glad to hear that Kendall will play tomorrow. Neal Brown already is given a free pass by the WVU fan boys, including the shameless homers in the local media, so he doesn't need any excuses.
They will get killed tomorrow.....I'd lay the 33! I 'm also going to lay the 28 to NW tonight!
Northwestern and its incredibly overrated coach will likely keep tonight's scoring margin at fewer than 28 points, Tony. The media and coaching fraternity love them some Pat Fitzgerald because he gets his team to overachieve against superior programs, and totally ignore the fact that this clown has a bad habit of losing to lesser programs out of conference, and embarrassing the B1G in the process.
Ohio State plays Northwestern tonight? That's unheard of. Why are they playing tonight? Regardless, NW is having a horrid year record wise, although they've lost a couple close ones. They also got blown out by Michigan State, so not sure what kind of effort they'll bring tonight. I say OSU 49 to 10.
Yep, the B1G stupidly agreed a year or two ago to schedule games on Friday nights to appease the networks. tOSU 31, NW 13
I think NW who can't score points on anybody...will not ring the bell more than once, if that! OSU 49 NW 6.
The Purple Cats will play like they did against Wisconsin in Madison. It will be their bowl game, and Saint Patty will dig deeply into his bag of tricks. The results will be an ugly game, a hit to the national perception of tOSU, and more verbal bouquets being tossed in Patty's direction. Not much to be gained for Ohio State.
Wisconsin does not have Fields at QB, who can take a broken play to the house. I agree NW will try to shorten the game with short passes and runs but just can't see that working against the Bucks. I think you guys are REALLY good!
Fields is better than I expected at this point, but still somewhat unproven, and Ohio State has nobody with a pulse behind him. Next week's game vs. the Badgers should give us a better gauge as to how good Ohio State is, as Wisky's defense has been dominant thus far.
Looking at the schedule with both your toughest remaining games at home I don't see the tattoo boys missing the playoffs unless they gag on one.......upsets me to have to say that but as I have stated before...reality is reality
This year is setting up to be another year of playoff controversy.
I see Ohio State, Clemson and Oklahoma running the table. It will be interesting to see what happens between LSU and Alabama. I could see LSU winning in regular season and then the powers that be whining for Alabama to get in the playoff, especially if LSU would win in regular season and not go on to win the SEC championship. Others will whine for a one-loss Notre Dame to get in too.
