A surprising 23% of college football fans believe a certain Midwestern team has what it takes to make a significant impact this season. This is a remarkable feat, considering they’ve consistently struggled to stay competitive in their conference. It’s a testament to their new coach, who seems to be breathing life into a program that’s been dormant for years.
However, it’s essential to keep things in perspective. The team’s 3-0 start, although impressive, has been against lackluster opponents. They’ve beaten Florida International, Western Illinois, and UCLA – hardly a gauntlet of powerhouse teams. Yet, their fans are already boasting about their chances, forgetting that they’ve had a dismal record over the past 16 seasons.
A closer look at their schedule reveals a rather lenient lineup, with only one team that can be considered a legitimate contender. It’s almost as if they’ve carefully curated a schedule to pad their stats. While it’s entertaining to imagine them entering a crucial matchup with a perfect record, it’s unlikely to happen.
History has shown us that weak schedules can be deceiving. Remember when a certain independent team thought they had a clear path to the playoffs, only to be disappointed? It’s crucial not to get too caught up in a team’s early success, especially when it’s built on shaky ground.
For now, it’s best to take a wait-and-see approach with this team. They still have a lot to prove before they can be considered legitimate contenders. And as for their fans, it’s essential to keep their expectations in check, lest they be disappointed when reality sets in.
