The "worse" team on it is Miami (OH) or possibly Temple and they were both bowl teams last fall. Pick any 4 teams on there as a CUSA ooc schedule and it would be considered one of the tougher ones.

6 of their games are against teams in ranked 50 or lower in the Orlando Sentinel countdown. There are only two teams on their schedule that might compete for a conference championship and likely be Top 10 teams.

And yet, you think they should go 12-0 or be in the bottom ten the following year, even at 11-1?

Yes, I'm tired of them being ranked on tradition. Last time they made a New Year's day bowl they were beat down, showing they play teams that don't prepare them for Top 10 games. If they ended 2016 season at or near the top 25 they deserve to start there. Ending at 4 - 8 last year they shouldn't start 2017 ranked, and maybe in the polls that count they won't.

College football fans have been complaining about Notre Lame being over-rated for the last 40 years. But there's nothing the east coast fake media likes more than a having Notre Lame in the hunt for the NC.
