Opening Up at Home Against a Big 10 Member! Wow!...
- Thread starter Humptod
- Start date
A team ranked 19 points ahead of your opening opponent.

Or 37 spots ahead of your opponent if you prefer to use this ranking.

But you'd probably prefer the ESPN poll. GSU is only 6 points ahead of Purdue on this one.

SB Nation is not as kind. GSU is 28 spots ahead of Purdue in this one:

Would you like to continue the comparison between opening day opponents and their relative strength?
Or should we switch the conversation to overall schedule strength? I imagine you want to stay away from that topic.
Better hope you don't choke against your only semi-respectable (even that's debatable) opponent on your schedule.
Definitely a thread backfire on Humptod... He makes it too easy...
Kansas and Iowa St could both end up ranked higher than Marshall's marquee opponent of their season...
You think Marshall will end up ranked higher than wvu again this season? I do.
I disagree. Not really any point in discussing/arguing it though. It's all speculation.
We'll see in January.
I don't see how any team could be ranked playing a pathetic schedule, I guess that is part of welfare....reward laziness!!!!

Considering that Marshall's average ranking for the last 15 years or is in the 90s, I doubt it...
