BTF Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I'll get roasted for this, so bring it on and let me have it. It wouldn't surprise me if Marshall goes undefeated this season. If they do, and that's a big if, they will have beaten both Notre Dame and App State. Playoff consideration? Please tell me I'm not the only one who thought Marshall looked like a damn good team on Saturday. This receipt will go in someone's file............risk taken.

Bash Riprock Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Sun Belt is a very tough mid-major conference. With the transfer portal like it is, players from really good programs end up at mid-majors and I don't think they are as intimidated. Marshall roster picked up 24 transfers during the off-season......transfers from Florida State, Penn State, Texas Tech, etc. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/34570748/marshall-coach-charles-huff-says-intimidation-window-traditional-powerhouses-notre-dame Now, should they have beaten ND, especially in their house????

Coach Huff has worked hard on the field and in the recruiting phase. Several names that played a significant role Saturday are on this list. If he can sustain this for multiple seasons before being plucked by another program, they will get some attention. https://247sports.com/college/marshall/Season/2022-Football/TransferPortal/?institutionkey=24052 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHJIrish Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Any college team could have given Notre Dame a good game Saturday. The effort level was about as low as I've ever seen it in ND Stadium, and I've seen a lot of games up there, in person and on the tube. Yes, Marshall looked good but we must take into consideration the team they were playing. That was not a typical Notre Dame effort, especially at home.

BTF Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 The gap between 2 & 14 is 46 points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put it in perspective, the two teams you mentioned (Oregon and Arizona) would be approximately 10 points apart on a neutral field.

gonzoron Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 The real question I have is which conference has the most Waffle Houses? SEC or ACC? Head to head it's not even close between Tennessee and Pitt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagarin has Georgia at #2 and Oregon at #14. Georgia beat Oregon by 46. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Normally when I make a bold prediction, it backfires. Marshall experienced the same emotional letdown yesterday that the Irish experienced the week before.
