Actually, nobody said it then, because Bronco did 8-4 in his sleep, it was

Bronco and his wife wanted to leave. He left us. Let’s just stop.

I'm just stating facts. The op said "8-4 is as good as it gets." Is it?

To be honest, Bronco saw that it was getting harder and harder to sustain 8+ win

Robbinoburrito

The fact is 8 wins was his floor. The facts bear that. He started with a 10 win

Ok. I wasn’t arguing about Bronco’s years being good to great, but Indy was

You forgot that firesides deduct a win and the hang loose sign gives you one

Bronco left because independence isn’t sustainable

You’re right. P5 is better than Indy. But with G5 and two

We’re about where we were last year. 2-2 vs P5 teams, coming off a humiliating

8-4 was meh when Bronco was here. That wasn't too long ago.

We also played a MWC schedule.

Bronco never won less than 8 games in INDY, once he won 10, once he won 9.

Early Indy schedules were bad though.

We played 4 teams that finished ranked in 2012 plus 2 additional

MWC schedules were comparable to independent schedules

ataylor

9/22/19 1:34pm

Except for having more interesting opponents as independent and a MWC schedule

Nogi-oshi

Pretty clear we’re talking schedule strength here.

ataylor

9/22/19 6:25pm

Hmmmm...You seem to be under the impression that the MWC is/was significantly

Nogi-oshi

It’s not an impression, it’s actual data.

The season depends on this coming week's game. We finish either 6-6 or 5-7

I can’t say I disagree with your analysis. I have more hope for some reason tho.

Yes. In case you didn't know, some G5s are better than P5s. Only an idiot would

mrphotogenic

9/22/19 2:27pm

Three teams of the P5s were ranked and rightfully so

puntersarepeople

9/22/19 2:49pm

I see 2-2 the next 4 weeks and 6-6

coastcat

9/22/19 2:40pm

2-2 the next four gives us a great shot at 7 wins

puntersarepeople

9/22/19 2:49pm

Disagree, we’re not good at all. Honestly should be 0-4 maybe

It isn't that we are 2 and 2, it is how pathetic we looked. 3 DL's can't stop

Record is not indicstive of how good the team or program is at this point.

Your record is the only objective measurement. Potential means you haven't done
