Comparability Trend

When playing the stock market investors keep an eye on trends in the market. Football fans should do the same with football trends. One trend to keep an eye on is the comparability trend. How do we compare with other teams is something to keep an eye on.

By now everybody has read about the 42-0 win over Miami. How good the Cats offense looked and how good the defense looked after getting a look at the Miami offense for a quarter.

Next week we are off but will get another interesting look at how good we really are offensively. Miami plays Boise St. a team that dominated Oregon a team expected to contend for the PAC-10 title.

Miami is going to have a game under their belt and Boise St. will have game tape of Miami. It will be interesting to see how Boise St. (a possible top 10 team by then) a team who has less team speed, an offense thats no better at quarterback, running back and wide receiver than the Cats does.

So keep an eye on the score and the stats of the game next weekend. It should give us an idea of how we compare with a possible BCS buster.
