No. Your views are not the views I was talking about. I was talking about how the idiots who vote in the polls view things. You know more about the game than most of the douchebag reports in the AP...which was sorta my point. That, and as I said, for the SEC love to continue, they still have to win the mismatched OOC games. They did. Some mook in Montana filling out his Billings Weekly ballot will only see two impressive wins, one a shut out of an ACC team. All I'm saying. That, and if a Big-10 team stumbles, they will all cry out "See - the Big-10 in overrated"
So I am coming around to the board's view on the bias.

No it was almunist homerism and false hubris for me. That and I was drunk and thought we were supposed to beat Vandy's hockey team by 3.5. That's why I thought it was a sucker bet

Jeez, take the wind out of my sails why don't ya? How am I supposed to get all fired up and spout stats at ya if you start agreeing with me?
Yep, people will base their arguments on scores regardless of the underlying facts...it still sucks!
