Biggest CFB disappointments/surprises thus far

[NDgreatestofalltime!]

Curious what everyone thinks on this topic.

Disappointments:

You’d have to start with FSU right, preseason top 10 (1-7). Okie St (3-5), Kansas (2-6) though I never bought their top 25 ranking to start the season. Probably throw in USC for sure, and Michigan.

Surprises:

I’ll start with Indiana, schedule is weak but what a turn around year one. Also, both Army and Navy, no one had them both with a chance to win 11 or more regular season games, and they’ve been dominant doing it (minus today for Navy). I’ll throw BYU in there too as many had them in the bottom half of the B12 rankings preseason.

SMU perhaps. First year in the ACC though they were 11-3 last year. Pittsburgh is undefeated.

You nailed it. How about most paper tiger teams? That would be Ped state

I watched Penn State win at USC. Their best win. A solid team in the 5-8 range.

PSU just doesn’t do it for me, I see a fair amount of them here where I live. They outclass virtually all of their opponents but seem like they’re always going through the motions. Lots of games that seem to competitive late.

They have a lot of very good skill players but offense seems hot/cold. It could just be Franklin, never been a fan.

We will find out next week when they play the Bucktards

Biggest surprise is IU on the positive and FL St on the negative

They should send a thank you to Lincoln
