Sportsline's TOP 25

[crambone]

Oh, and if you check out the forums at the bottom of the story, you'll see this thread about someone insisting that UNC be in the Top 25 because of Butch Davis and a "good recruiting class", followed by this guy saying why they shouldn't:

Finally our schedule isn't the easiest thing in the world as observed by these games:

At USF

At Virginia Tech

Home Vs. South Carolina

At Wake Forest

and at Georgia Tech.

As a Carolina resident, I'll guess that the Tarheels will be very lucky to win one of those four games.

Also, in my experience, UNC = UK in just about every way.  Arrogant, ignorant fanbase etcetera.

UK scheduled their way to seven wins last year.  And they did it with the help of a large number of "hired guns" who have since flunked out of school or been kicked off the team.

Their wins were against...

Texas State

Ole Miss

Central Michigan

Mississippi State

Louisiana-Monroe

Vanderbilt

Georgia(impressive, but it should be noted that this loss is what turned UGA's season around)

And five of those games were very close.(It's hard to beat people when your defense is ranked in the high-100's)

The SEC beefed up their conference sked this year, so a similar record would definitely impress.  Though I'm expecting another 4-win year and Rich Brooks scolding the fans for being unhappy with it. ;D

beating auburn is crucial to becoming a consistent top 25 team, if we lose badly, they will forget about us at least until we play WVU.

I don't know, if the Bulls gave them all they could handle on their home field and still lost, I think the national media would give a lot of respect.  Even top25 teams don't win on the road versus top10 teams that often.

It's really a win-win situation to me.  The only way USF suffers negatively is if they are blown out.  But I really can't see that happening, not with so much at stake.

Can't wait! :GoBulls
