I mean seriously, Wyoming? San Diego State? Colorado State? UNLV?
I guess I haven't been as clear as I should be. Every year Notre Dame is bleated about as having one of the toughest schedules in all of college football, but when you look at it, it's obvious to any even semi-objective person that this isn't even remotely true, as a glance at this years schedule will attest.

Again, you're making no sense. Does strength of schedule matter or not? Yes, all those teams are tier 2 in my book, but CSU has beaten Colorado 4 years in a row.

Yes I can. There are only 12 D-1 conferences, and for argument's sake, let's agree that there are 3 major bowls that these 12 champions AREN'T in. That's 15 teams, which leaves 10 slots left in the top 25. So yes, an 8-5 record could merit a top 25 preseason rank, especially if there is a good recruiting class from the prior years rising. So using your theory, we should only have a top 15. Or a maximum of a top 18.
Walking Shadow, please meet logic. Logic, Walking Shadow. Obviously, you two aren't aquainted and perhaps you'd like to spend some time together.
