We'll know a lot more than we did before, though. Cmon man. You're not a dumb guy. You of all people should know that a game against a quality opponent will show us a lot.

Judging how good a young team is against a top 5-10 team will only tell you so much.

It still gives strong indicators for where your team's strengths and weaknesses are. Obviously situations are dynamic and the amount of weight you put on any given experience varies based on different factors.

The point is that we don't know a whole lot yet just because the teams we're playing right now aren't going to push us. It's the same reason none of us outside of BoarEd will go out and make any bold predictions right now.

My "reserve judgement till" game is LSU at home as I have stated before. Waters killed us in both games last year and being weak against strong guard play was by far the team's biggest shortcoming last year. If these guards can handle Waters and the offense stays efficient against a team like LSU, I'll be prone to much more outlandish predictions.
