How is it that a sub-forum allegedly populated by drawing from a pool by winning poker players is still full of results-oriented garbage?

People are reacting to last year's NC game like they've never seen a lopsided game before. OSU losing was not a sign of anything greater than specific failings by Tressel and his players. It's rather incredible that you've managed to convince yourself that "everybody" knew that OSU was going to lose badly because they couldn't play defense and the Big Ten was terrible, that would be why Florida was a double digit favorite, right?

Trying to dig up any quotes from you about the NC game was unsuccessful, but I did manage to find a thread where you strenuously argued that USC 05>Texas 05.

Specific failings? You think that was a fluke? You think that team was going to be even close to USC, Florida, Cal, or LSU? So Michigan getting worked by USC was also a fluke? That Texas team was one VY knee injury away from completely self-destructing. You put any other quarterback on that team, including Leinart, and had Booty start for USC they would have won. So somehow if Texas beats USC in a nailbiter I cannot argue that calling Texas better is being results oriented, while you can argue calling tOSU wildly overrated for letting Michigan run up 39 and then Florida 41 in a blowout is results oriented garbage? Face it, they had no defense, it just looked that way because they played a bunch of terrible teams. I also guarantee tOSU gets destroyed if they play an SEC or Pac10 team in the NCF
