The "guest special contributor" writer at CBS Sports, . . . .

. . .who wrote the “Grading Non-Conference Schedules” article is smoking crack!

To wit: (just as a sampler to his delusions) He equates (with a C-) Navy, Syracuse, and Notre Dame all as equals this year. Yes, the Fighting Rash didn’t show up against Syracuse LAST YEAR, but c’mon! This year, the pundits have Notre Dame at #23- one place behind #22 Nebraska. Yet, for Virginia Tech, he gives Nebraska a B+. Okay, I’ll live with that B+ for Nebraska, and to his credit: He didn’t know what the USA Today pre-season Coaches poll would be, as he wrote his article on Aug. 4th. But. . . .Athlon had their pre-season rankings up since late May and have Nebraska at #16 and Notre Dame at #24, in other words. . . the Fighting Rash are pretty much considered a Top 25 team.

So, with that information- let’s give Notre Dame a “B”. Adding up our “strength of schedule” based on changing this nimrods C- to a B would change our rating to a B. A “B”.

It’s apparent this guy hates Notre Dame, hates USC, is an alien/foreign national looking to wed a Bruin in order to obtain a green card and has plans to start his own religion to overthrow God by out-strategizing Touchdown Jesus. He hate we.

Todd to Comer: "Because if you had, he wouldn't listen to it. BOOM. Roasted."
Nico to Todd: "Shouldn't you be off voguing somewhere?"
