Yes, they're undefeated and 7-0.  Let's see how they got there to date.  They beat a 2-6 Western Kentucky team; an 0-3 FIU team; an 0-3 Northern Alabama team; an 0-8 Louisiana-Monroe team; an 1-7 Syracuse team; an 2-5 Southern Miss team, and an 4-3 VPI team.  That is a combined win loss record of Liberty's opponents of 9-35.

Now, I realize that you can only play the teams that are on your schedule, etc., etc, and in that respect they are undefeated.  I didn't in anyway not give them credit for that, that's your own thinking coming into play.  What I did say, and consequentially challenged, was that this team was beating high quality/level opponents in route to being 7-0, in addition to 'deservedly' being ranked in the Top 10 by year's end.  If you think that Liberty's wins to date, against these particular opponents, is something to write home about, well then, so be it. Apparently, I'm not so easily impressed as you are, along with some others.

Liberty's remaining schedule; an 0-0 Western Carolina team next week; a currently 4-3 NCST team after that; a currently 0-2 UMass team after that, and finishing the season off with a juggernaut team in Coastal Carolina. Coastal (such a household name on the gridiron) is currently 7-0 and ranked #15.

I agree that Liberty is sustaining success in a relatively short period of time...good for them.  However, I'm not going to be one that roots for their success just so it lessens the significant stench of our team and the current state of SU's football program.  And, hope is not a strategy.  If Dino, at this stage of his career, has to ask Freeze how he's making it happen, well then, IMO, SU football will remain hopeless for sometime to come.
