I'm surprised as well that Miami is behind Wisky and MSU and BYU (all at home). I would put Miami at #2 behind Wisky.

I'm curious as to your thoughts of Wisconsin at 5 rather than 1?

-All games are easier in Lincoln
-we know exactly what to prepare for
-they really have no clue what to prepare for (we'll only show a lot in Miami/BYU games)
-Corey Clement is no Melvin Gordon
-our rush defense will be great
-their pass attack is garbage
-Mike Riley is no Bo Pelini
-we get them after an easy game (Illinois), so we should be really tough. whereas we get Minnesota after Wisconsin, so we'll be more vulnerable in that game.

Minnesota has scoreboard on us...it should be an athwhoopin game not a trap game

It's tough for a CFB team to win two big games in a row...especially by the point spread. I make a lot of money each year betting trap games...they are about 70% by the spread and are dependent upon the result of the first game (as to which side you bet). You can't find better than 70% anywhere else.

I think you are right that we destroy Wisconsin.
 
The best teams are not always the toughest games. Many seem to be "ranking" the opponents rather than giving consideration to the venue and place on the schedule, which are just as important factors.

Me too. The only way it makes sense is if Athlon thinks it wasn't a problem at all with our coaches that we couldn't adjust to their offense at all, that it was a problem with our players or something. That doesn't make sense to me but I guess Athlon is entitled to believe in jinxes as much as the next guy, I guess.
