Huge UCONN FB win

Wow, I really don’t follow CFB all that closely but I remember a few years ago UConn was the dreg of D-1. 9-4 season is very impressive.
 
They are getting better, but that was a "ghost" of a UNC team they beat today. Their two best "wins" this year are probably their relatively close losses to Duke and Syracuse.
 
Yes it is impressive but you have to look at the competition/schedule. Their seven wins came against competition that won 24 games between them. Little more then three wins per team from the likes of Florida Atlantic, Georgia State, Rice, Temple, UMESS, UAB. Not exactly top level football powerhouse competition. The win over NC (who looks like they quit today) was their first win over a quality Power Conference win in a long time.

All true, but holding their own (and more) yesterday at Fenway allows the ACC to rationalize UCONN football to get men's and women's basketball. And UCONN's small fb facility doesn't stand out as much in ACC as it would in other major conferences.
