Toledo returns a QB that led the nation with 45 TD passes against 9 Ints, #2 in Passing Efficiency 183.3, and passed for 4,129 yards last season.The Rockets are loaded at the skill positions and have a very good OL.
Toledo has won 9 games or more 5 of the past 6 seasons.
Dude, there is NOTHING you can tell me that won't make me laugh even more. Toledo a better offense than the likes of LSU, Alabama, Ohio State, Auburn, Texas Tech, Texas, Oregon just to name a few? I don't care who you're bringing back. The funniest thing about it all is that it says this in the article, "The rankings are also adjusted for competition." Ha, seriously?!?!
So apparently, the writer still feels they'd have the 4th best offense in the nation even if Toledo faced Big Ten, SEC, or other P5 defenses weekly instead of your Kent States and Eastern Michigans. Hey, at least it provides some good comic relief.
Edit - If by saying, "The rankings are also adjusted for competition", the writer means Toledo and others are ranked as high as they are
because they play much weaker competition than the P5's, then it makes a little more sense. But let's face it... Toledo and some others had the stats they had last year partly because of whom they play, so if there really were any adjustments made for competition, they should realistically
fall in a ranking of top offenses, because you can't compare offense's stats irrespective of the level of opponent they came against.
