Message: [QUOTE="DynstyUgrl, post: 849685, member: 4137"] I'm nuts eh? I see we are keeping this civil. I've never claimed that UMn, over the past decade has scheduled the toughest sos's around. I've not even claimed that UMn has been all that good in the last decade. But seriously, Syracuse hasn't been all that good either. Neither of our teams are looked at with much esteem by the cfb elite out there. Syracuse has had TWO, just 2 Top Ten teams since their Natl Title in 1959. And they've only made the Top 25 once since Minnesota first started its rebuilding process back in 1999 when Glen Mason finally got us to a bowl game for the first time in a decade. That's almost 15 years with only 1 Top 25 appearance? Minnesota's had TWO, just 2 Top 25 teams, in 99 and 03. So here you are quibbling over which one of our teams sucked the worse?! Which one of us played and lost to the lesser teams?! And you can name off NDSU and Bowling Green as if they suck so bad, but BG was ranked this year, right? Something SU hasn't experienced in a long time. And NDSU would beat both of our teams, this year, last year and the year before!!! NIU has been pretty good as well lately, and like I said, a former Gopher player is the coach at N Mex St, so thats why they got on our schedule. Not saying BG was good the year we lost to them, but were they worse than the #73 Pitt team you lost to this year? Just being a BCS team doesn't automatically mean you are any good. And historically the Big Ten has been a tougher conference than the Big East ever was, even in the Big Ten's slumping state. The ACC could be different? I guess we'll see. Before Syracuse joined the Big East, I have no clue, you were independent? And so it is hard to pin down your schedule strength unless you go over each seasons scedule's individually. Not going to do that, sorry. I will assume that people like Billingsley have taken a lot of that stuff into consideration, and despite Syracuse's have more wins than UMn, has UMn ranked #16 all-time and Syracuse is ranked #50. # of wins doesn't mean squat if the wins were not quality wins.
