zenryan Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I think Louisville will have a ceiling around 4-5 in the coaches poll this year as long as there is a few 1 loss teams from the major 5 conferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 08:32 AM) Since the coaches poll just came out, I think I read Louisville's top-rated opponent this season was ranked like 40th or something. And Tennesse plays 5 of the top 10 I believe. These are both true statements. We sure didn't luck out when it comes to scheduling this year. @Bama, @Oregon, @Florida, UGA, SC.

Oregon,Florida,South Alabama,Georgia,South Carolina, Alabama in a row. then a "breather" with a road trip to Missouri after Alabama. Just brutal.

Heads22 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Yeah, the fact that the SEC and B1G are both at 14 will lead to some teams missing some of the big dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Just looking at Michigan's schedule, Notre Dame is their toughest game in the first 6 or 7 games before facing Michigan St, Neb, AT NW, and OSU. AT PSU will be tough as well, but would expect the offense to be much better than what Denard did and Gardner last year now with more time under center. That said, I probably jinxed them and will lose to Central Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I think Louisville will have a ceiling around 4-5 in the coaches poll this year as long as there is a few 1 loss teams from the major 5 conferences. Bridgewater is pretty awesome and I think UL could actually hang with the teams ranked 4-10, but with their schedule they will never get a chance to play in the title game. Sucks for them too, because next year their schedule gets much more difficult but Teddy will probably be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denard accounted for more than half of UM's offense in 2012. I fully expect this to be a transition year for you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can throw better then Denard and as soon as he starts running, he could still throw. Michigan always reloads the line. They're not winning the division by any means but could still start 6-0 with that schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mizzou really needs a 7-5 campaign or else the rails are going to come loose and who knows what becomes of the program. That said, I feel much more comfortable with 2nd QB maty mauk than Berkstresser, who was god awful last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 So this has to pretty much kill any chance Manziel plays right? http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/954...raphing-helmets An East Coast autograph broker told ESPN on Tuesday that Johnny Manziel was paid $7,500 for signing approximately 300 mini- and full-sized helmets on Jan. 11-12 while he was attending the Walter Camp Football Foundation event. The broker played two cell phone videos for ESPN showing Manziel signing white Texas A&M helmets and footballs laid out on a bed in a hotel room. The video does not show Manziel accepting any money. The broker said the room was at The Omni in New Haven, Conn., during the Camp event. He said the signing took place at three different times on Jan. 11-12, totaling about an hour. The broker and his partner originally requested money to release the videos for use on ESPN, which ESPN declined to pay. The broker did allow ESPN's Joe Schad to view the videos. Later, the broker said he had decided not to sell the videos. The broker said the videos, approximately nine minutes in length in total, were initially shot only to be used as proof with authenticating company PSA/DNA. On the videos, which the broker said were recorded without Manziel's knowledge, ESPN heard Manziel say "you never did a signing with me" and that if the broker were to tell anyone, he would refuse to deal with him again in the future. Manziel, who appeared comfortable throughout the video recordings, also said if asked, he would say he had simply been approached by various autograph seekers. At one point, ESPN heard a broker ask Manziel if he would take additional cash to sign with special inscriptions, but Manziel declined, indicating he had done that before and it led to questions. The video does not show Manziel accepting cash, which the broker alleges happened three times. The broker told ESPN that Manziel said he wanted money for new rims for his vehicle.
