No. It's better to play ranked opponents win or lose.
Losing to a ranked opponent > losing to unranked. Confirmed

That would assume you think you think you could beat them. They crushed the Gophers last year without a qb. This year they've added amazing talent via the transfer portal (Josh Jackson QB - Virginia Tech, Shaq Smith LB - Clemson Keandra Jones LB - Ohio State). They are extremely fast and athletic all over the field. Gophers do not match up well with them. A lot of teams won't this year.
The Terps are @Temple next week, then a bye, then they host Penn State.
We'll have a better idea at that point how good they are.
They just beat the #21 team in the country by 43 and put 63 on them. We are getting a decent idea now they are pretty good. They are probably rightfully a #22 or #23 team right now. Are they better than that?...you're right..we'll know soon enough.
Syracuse was ranked purely off of last year. We have no idea how good either team is right now.
I wouldn’t disagree if Maryland were ranked in the next poll, but I also expect Maryland to finish 6th or 7th in the east

AP ranks Maryland #21 going into week 3. Basically took over Syracuse’s previous spot.
They earned it.
