Not seeing it all with Mi. Same with Wa. They are similar to USC in my view.
Let’s see Oregon after this month and they play some tough teams

Let’s see Oregon after this month and they play some tough teams
USC went down some notches for me. I think the Irish beat them at this point. The USC D still has issues after all...and I am not convinced Riley is a top coach. I live in CA, experienced Caroll and the Trojans, he should do better with VAST talent in this state.
Again, I do give weight to USC schedule: LSU, MI, WI, and MN is a gauntlet. Do you agree?
One massive factor as well: travel between coast is taking its tool. I think this plays a role in consistency with college kids.
But clearly USC is inconsistent. They should not lose to MN. Got a tough schedule ahead of them. Not showing tier 1 form at all.
I think USC got totally screwed by the Big10 scheduling. 4 cross country trips I believe. That is brutal. Big protected OSU and PSU and Mi
USC not equipped for weekly physical games
Michigan struggled vs Fresno State and beat Arkansas state by only 10. Beat minnesota by 3
They haven't been impressive this year at all
Washington is an above average team but not near great this year
Sure. I took the 8 best teams in the SEC (by their F+ rating) and included their 85-man roster talent score from the 247 Team Talent Composite Rankings. I also took Notre Dame's 2024 opponents and included them in the sort (surprise, 99% of NDs opponents are at the bottom of this ranking). Basically, the top 8 teams in the SEC would be favored in every game vs NDs opponents😅😂🤣
- Notre Dame's 2024 opponents are bolded.
- Rankings below are sorted by F+ rating.
- A F+ rating above 0 is above average team, below 0 is below average team (average in relation to ALL 130+ teams in the FBS including the G5).

NDs schedule is complete and utter hot garbage

how the hell was 4-1 Michigan ranked in the top ten? as in #10. There were so many good 4-1 or 5-0 teams behind them.
The first place team in the SEC, TAMU, besides losing to us, plays MKnees, Mississippi State, Bowling Green, New Mexico State, Auburn etc. Which come pretty close to hot garbage as well.
