Us arguing over schedules is pretty much pointless as it is likely that ECU or Marshall are going to drop at least one game before the year is over and that will be that. ECU is a good team.

are you honestly trying to say unc, south carolina, virgina tech

is the similar or even remotely close as akron (mac), ohio (mac) and miamio ohio (mac)

why are you c-usa guys full of the craziest logic...

Yes that moron is trying to say that. This is the same CUSA logic that trots out those stupid teamrankings sites that shows that MTSU, La. Tech and UAB are better than Georgia, South Carolina and Arkansas.

Marshall may not have the toughest schedule there ever was but the fact is they're undefeated.

Perhaps this is the reason Marshall is scared to schedule tough games.

And I'm a troll? And of course, you're incorrect. We played 2 P5 teams last year and we are in the middle of a series with Louisville and Purdue. We also have NC State and Pitt signed for series starting the next few years.

I've talked to our AD about scheduling. We have issues that are a little hard to overcome, at least to anyone that wants to look honestly at the situation. We are not in the most easily accessible location, no major airport. We are located in an area that is basically devoid of FBS talent, no recruiting need to come here. We are located in an area that does not have any number of alumni for any other institution, don't need to come here for your fans. Oh, and we are pretty good at home, why come here and risk a loss?

As would be ECU, Colorado State, Boise State, UCF, Nevada and Memphis if we played the Little Sisters of the Poor each week. So that is not saying much for who Marshall plays.

That horrible unc team nearly beat top 10 ND on the road. Comparing the ooc schedules of ecu and marshall is not even in the same stratosphere. I think Marshall is a good team but come on

Yes you are a troll and a dumb one at that. Coming by to smack talk fans of a conference whose teams regularly beat Marshall over the previous decade in CUSA. Marshall hardly ever finished with a winning record against those teams.

Can anyone tell me what school in the history of college football has ever had a worse schedule than Marshall and been ranked in the top 25.

It is absolutely an insult to schools that play real D1 college football and one of the biggest reasons the P5 want to break away.

Oh, and we did play Temple once. When they were in the Big East they were gracious enough to come to Huntington to play. How did that work out for you? Oh yeah, we beat you 34-0 in 1999, the last time we went 13-0. You didn't help our SOS much then either.

Marshall only has a winning record against 2 AAC schools.

I am also not sure what makes you think that any of the teams you listed (minus ucf and ECU) are any better than the teams Marshall has played. I have seen cincy play and while the have a potent passing attack they are very bad on defense and they struggled with 2 "bottom dwelling"(as you put it) MAC teams. Marshall also beat Memphis's signature win, and outside of that win all they have done is lose "respectably" to good teams. Temple's SOS is debatably worse than Marshall's. Houston lost to UTSA who is looking to be one of CUSA's worst teams.

id bet $500 of my own money atleast 5 of the 6 i named would have gone undefeated on marhsall schedule so far..

as for the utsa game houston came out overconfident and okorn (our old starting qb came on a crazy sophomore slump) against the most senior team in the nation,
i have no clue what is happening with utsa ( i dont keep up with them) but they almost beat a great arizona the next week, i have no clue why they had such a drastic fall off the last 3 weeks, maybe a confidence thing...
since that game houston has looked completely different and since switching qbs the last game has looked like they were supposed to preseason..

memphis came close to beating ucla and practically shut down ole miss's offense (who is currently #3)

im tired of typing so im just going to ask you a question right now and you answer it, dont dance around the question, no trying to avoid the question ..this will tell me how blind your homerism is

who wins in your opinion?
houston vs akron
cincy vs akron
memphis vs akron
temple vs akron

(youve already said ecu and ucf would win)

this is your signature win....
give me honesty on your opinion....or give me blind homer-ism

youd have a better argument saying they wouldn't have "dominated" like marshall did ...all but ecu true, but most would be 6-0

You are the one with the "blind homerism" if you think 5 of those 6 would be undefeated with Marshall's schedule. IMO Akron would beat Houston and Temple, lose to Memphis, and the game against Cincy is a tossup(all @Akron).

Good luck with the rest of your season AACers. I'll head back to my board now.

PS I understand that Marshall's schedule sucks and was not trying to dispute that... only that half of the AAC would be undefeated with it. Carry on

Dear Marshall/CUSA fans,

Please stop with all this crazy talk. It's embarrassing.

If you must talk of this craziness, then please stop trying to convince us on our own board.

Misleading stat is misleading. Try it this way, there are 5 AAC teams that don't have a winning record against Marshall out of the nine we have actually played.

UCF 54 - Marshall 17

October 27, 2012

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) - Latavius Murray accounted for four touchdowns, Quincy McDuffie returned two kickoff returns for scores and Blake Bortles passed for two TDs as Central Florida routed Marshall 54-17 Saturday night to stay unbeaten in Conference USA.

If we win out this won't even be a debate.

It's a manufactured record. The AD didn't schedule anyone.. It leads me to wonder if this guy is the Marshall AD.

2005? More like 2012 when everyone started leaving. It is hilarious how Marshall's resurgence in football happened after every school that could leave CUSA; actually left CUSA.
