Power five schools get upset by the little guys every year, but can anyone show me a comparable lose (RPI; 4 to favorite, ect) where the team still managed to win 7 or 8 games?

50-50 predictions are built in. I laugh when news folks say that. It takes some balls to make a prediction that shows a percentage favoring one side or the other.

In 2010 Virginia Tech lost to James Madison and wound up winning the ACC championship and playing in the Orange Bowl. But we don't play in the ACC.

I was about to say the same thing. However, Virginia Tech was a talented team who played bad, for whatever reason. We don't have very much sec talent across the board so we're 17ed

If there was ever a year for us to take on bad losses, this is as good of a year for it to happen. I rather take our lumps in a rebuilding year. Imagine having lost to south alabama in 2014 or 2015 with Dak at the helm.

I feel pretty good about not buying into a cabana after this first game.

I see people saying this a lot... Y'all need to pay closer attention to the MAC. There are some very solid teams in that conference. Last year, Toledo was a pretty damn good football team. They'll be good again this year too... And just dismantled Arky State in Jonesboro on Friday. I realize Arky a State isn't a powerhouse... But Toledo was a 4 point dog and won by 3 TDs with a slow 2nd half to wind the clock.

That Toeldo loss by Arky last year was bad in name alone... If you watched Toledo the rest of the heat, you'd understand they were a solid team.

Here is a good one: at least we aren't playing Usm this season. They would be skull dragging us right now.

Damn you. I scanned the tread just to see if somebody else wrote that. I was thinking the same thing.

Because Dan lost a game where he was favored, he will now beat a Top 25 team. Right, Fishwater?**
