I don't chew my cabbage twice, btpage0630@xxxxxxxxx
So the first thing that jumped out to me was Virginia Tech
ranked at #14 and #15. I looked at their schedule and I see a 7
pt win over 1-4 North Carolina and a 10 pt win over 2-3 East
Carolina, their only other real measuring stick is a 41 pt loss
to LSU. If we take a similar look at a team with the same
record at 4-1 and a large margin loss to #1 USC, we see that
other team ranked at #25. How is a 41 pt loss to LSU a more
impressive outing than a 17 pt loss to the #1 team in the
country? That's just one thing that jumps out to me.
Even more laughable is the number of morans who use LSU's win over
Tech as some kind benchmark, calling it a quality win. I think all
it says is that not only do pollsters not watch the games, they don't
even look at the box scores.
U$C's wins over UNL and UDub are far more impressive than wins over
USC and VT. Hell, the win over Croom is better than the win over
Tech.
If Tech gets 4 more wins this year I'll call this season a stunning
success.
