Yeah, I don't want 3 cupcakes. I want one P5 opponent every year. The year it's at home, I want a decent road game. The year it's on the road, I want two cupcakes.
Is 7.1% 3P shooting bad? That seems bad.This Purdue - Northwestern game is a shootout
I don’t disagree but until college football changes it’s format; id schedule 3 cupcakes 10/10 times. & this is coming from someone that wishes every Purdue non-con basketball game was against a top 25 opponent. I know scheduling tougher teams in the non-con better prepares you, but I just don’t see the incentive for it in football like I do in basketball.
Purdue is trying to get back to being a consistent bowl team and build a foundation. You guys are trying to elevate to the next level. I think we should have different approaches to scheduling.
Also wasn’t three cupcakes the Wisconsin model for a long long time? Or am I mistaken?
Purdue is an elite 3 point shooting team imo
You obviously haven’t watched the sex tape I made with your mama then.
I think we were the cupcake for many years. Even 20 years ago we had decent non con games. Certain years that was definitely the case. Not every year though.
Basketball/football scheduling, for postseason aspirations, is much, much different. Unlike basketball, not "everyone" has an opportunity to win a National title. I mean, c'mon, the road to a title in CFB, is much different than the road to a title in CBB. There is no tournament. There are no possibilities of making a "March run", so to speak, in CFB. So scheduling difficult in CFB, for those 3 open dates, is silly. Especially if you play in a P5 conference. And even more so if you are a program like Indiana. IU isn't going to compete for a National title. They are competing for a BOWL. So to schedule a game, and or games, versus the likes of Bama, Notre Dame, etc, etc...would be committing "bowl eligibility suicide", so to speak. And really for Wisconsin to do so, is sorta of ignorant. Wisky is a program that can put itself in a position to get to the CFB playoff. SOS is irrelevant to an extent. So why schedule Alabama? Or Notre Dame? Why take the chance of an early loss---or losses, that could basically eliminate you from contention for a national title?
Scheduling for football, versus basketball, in terms of postseason, is much different.
36.1 vs 33.9 after a game we lost by 236pts.
UVA had an okay win tonight lol.
now that’s it’s been updated after your scoring barrage, 32.7 vs 36.1.
A loss to Bama, etc won’t take you out of the cfp. Still need to win the B1G and go undefeated in the B1G.
