Message: [QUOTE="721Comstock, post: 2858158, member: 5429"] OK, so a totally MEH Northwestern team is coming in at #25, in spite of losing their QB, because "they always seem to overachieve?" What the what??!! Since 2010, they have had [B]3[/B] 10-3 seasons - which is DEFINITELY overachieving. Nicely done, NW. Kudos. However, they've also had these other season records interspersed: 7-6, 6-7, 5-7, 5-7, 7-6. So, 3 excellent seasons, 2 losing years, and 3 totally mediocre years [B]3/8 [/B]= "always seem to overachieve"? And they're losing their QB. Apparently that's our death knell. Army is top 25, mostly based on having a good year beating soupcans (which included giving OK all they could handle), routing a disinterested Houston in their bowl game, and having a good coach, but Syracuse - the ONLY team to play NATIONAL CHAMPION Clemson tough wire-to-wire, and AT Clemson, to boot - and finished ranked higher - isn't even an afterthought?
