Nate, I think your argument is pretty solid for the SEC, Big 12 and Pac 10 but not so much on the Big 10. If you look at the 2009 Sagarin strength of sked: ND-37, Ohio St-50, Iowa-41, Penn St-73. Not so sure joining the Big 10 really helps ND’s chances. With

Kiffin’s father is a great coach, but the rest of that staff isn’t. Orgeron and Kiffin are both good, dirty recruiters and mediocre to poor gameday coaches.
How important is that in college football? How good of a gameday coach is Mack Brown? Greg Davis?
Orgeron is actually a damn fine defensive line coach,

Totally agree re: RJ. I’m hesitant to shout it from the mountain tops until he does it against a contending team. So far his success has been against 2nd tier teams.
Ginobili is just incredible to watch right now. Just goes to show how hurt he really must have been last season.

Palmer was the CB who had the initial coverage. Thomas gave Palmer a WTF look after the play. If it was Thomas’s fault (which I assume is the case), then he obviously wasn’t clear on his coverage responsibility (i.e. freshman mistake).
that pattern (deep post) gave us trouble last year, too. It is like doubles tennis (”down the middle, solves the riddle”).
If it was Palmer’s fault, he was not even close to covering that receiver. My impression is that they picked on Palmer a lot.
Regarding the D line, I got the impression that they were bull rushing a lot. this conservative approach minimizes mistakes but makes it pretty tough to get to the QB.

Melton and Orakpo were lightning off the edge. Even on that grainy internet video I posted last year, you tell when Melton was in just by the way that freak moves. Orakpo abused Williams, who was supposedly their quickest lineman, but it is FAU.
I’m a little worried with Houston and Lewis playing 3 tech DT in running situations against guards. Not that we seem to play anyone that runs anymore. They got shoved around a little a few times, but FAU didn’t get yards from it.

I see what you did there with Brandon Foster and you’re not fooling anyone.
Houston got his pads too high on a few plays and got pushed around but when he stays low he can knife through the traffic with reckless abandon. Glad to hear he’s only out one game.
Melton is a completely different player on defense. We can throw a little bit of everything at an offense when you go four deep on the ends with Orakpo, Melton, Acho and Jones (who also played well in limited action).

I guess my real point was that I couldn’t tell anything more about your defense against FAU than I could Tech against EWU. Okie State held them to 6 points and 200 total yards last year, and their defense was worse than ours. I think we’ll get a good test against Nevada with regards to our run defense this week. I thought Price’s outfit might be a good test, but they were awful last week.

I take that back, I did learn one thing. The state of Texas’ top athletes have the ability to completely dominate 4th tier athletes from Florida, and Texas’ 2nd tier athletes have the ability to dominate the state of Washington’s 4th tier athletes. Other than that, I couldn’t say much accurately, even though I probably would anyway.
