The Fresno State football program is not a Top 25 team, no matter how loud its sycophants scream otherwise into the wireless keyboard.
Because, a Week 2 loss at Minnesota, that’s why.
It doesn’t mean the Bulldogs won’t have a dazzling season, with winter plans for a 14th game in December.
It just means this year won’t be dreamy, if you’re going to insist dreamy means Top 25 rankings and a timeshare near the Fiesta Bowl. If missing that mark fails to meet your expectations, it’s only because you expect too much.
Top 25 teams don’t lose to teams like Minnesota, which lose to teams like Iowa, which lose to teams like Temple, which lose to teams like Villanova, which lose to teams like Stony Brook, which sounds like a gated community in north Fresno.
