Texas by 22
prob
Texas is a class above here, and the projection is not close.
- Texas has been playing at a level Western Michigan hasn't reached yet, and that's the whole game right there.
- Verdict has Texas 75 spots higher at No. 8. Rankings don't tackle anybody, and this is where that gets tested.
- Across a full year Verdict expects Western Michigan to finish 7-5 and Texas 8-4 — neither one of these teams is here by accident.
- Western Michigan has the home building too, which only pads what the projection already believes.
