Message: [QUOTE="K Otto XLIV, post: 1483249"] We have been lucky at home against non P5 schools OOC. We haven't lost in the last 7 years. If you don't count GRob, then 2003 was the last time we lost at home to a non P5 OOC (Louisville who went 9-4). Before that it was 1995 (ECU 9-3 ranked 23rd in coaches). Upsets happen. Thankfully they don't happen in the Dome very often. The big concern this year is that we have zero margin of error. So if CMU upset us, we would have needed to make it up by upsetting someone better than us. Thus far under Shafer we haven't even been competitive with the good teams, so there wouldn't be much confidence in upsetting one. At the end of the year if we lost to CMU but also beat Louisville, no big deal. It evens out. However if we lost to CMU and ended 3-9, it would be an issue. [/QUOTE]
