very true--another easy win for tOSU this week

of the two undefeateds, Kansas has the more deserving resume and the difference will grow

however, I don't think tOSU fans should be that up in arms since my logic and reasoning skills are not possessed by the greater country and even I have tOSU #2




It is sort of an indicator at how messed up national titles are when the main reason the Big11Ten has had recent contenders was because the conference is weaker than it has been historically

I think you run a dangerous road when you judge a team based on how good its opponents have done. Saying someone has a more impressive resume just because of W-L record is like saying someone with a 4.0 in Home Economics is smarter than someone with a 3.7 in Physics. You can't control who is in your conference (I suppose you could jump conferences... but that doesn't seem realistic), and games you schedule OOC are typically done years in advance where a tough opponent could become a joke or a patsy could be great. Judge how teams play the games, not who they squeaked by.
