Is it really that successful or noteworthy to beat the teams you "should" and lose to the teams you "shouldn't?" At this point, successful should be doing something other than the norm. We're not really playing any more P5 teams than before (better quality yes), but the strength of that will not be known until final records are in at the end of the season. Anyone who wants to act like a P5 school needs to accept schedules like this as the new norm. Not much, if anything here that other schools aren't already doing. And 8 wins as one of them doesn't cut it. Doesn't get you anywhere.
