A month away from the season. As we all face early OOC opponents, some of which are not familiar, you can have a little fun picking your team and an opposing team, and make the argument based upon transitive scores, that your team is better. Pretty fun!

Output looks like this...............proof that ODU was better than Rice in 2013!

Div I - FCS Old Dominion beat Idaho 59 - 38
Div I - FBS Idaho beat Temple 26 - 24
Div I - FBS Temple beat Memphis 41 - 21
Div I - FBS Memphis beat South Florida 23 - 10
Div I - FBS South Florida beat Cincinnati 26 - 20
Div I - FBS Cincinnati beat Houston 24 - 17
Div I - FBS Houston beat Rice 31 - 26

Therefore, Old Dominion is better than Rice in 2013
as shown in 7 rounds by a combined score of 230 - 156.

QED. I like it!

I'm just happy for us to the object of this exercise.

See ya on the field 9-10-14, ODU. We'll try to hold you under 200.

You were just the example of how ridiculous this can be. Actually a compliment that I chose Rice to demonstrate this.

We'll take our lumps this year, for sure, but hopefully we'll be competitive against both Owl teams we face on the road.

i took it as a compliment, and tried to reply in the same jocular mood.

Yeah, this if the transitive property actually worked, ECU should have beat Marshall last year

ECU beat MSTU 24-17
Beat FAU 31-13
Ohio 37-20

While Marshall lost to Ohio and MTSU and only beat beat FAU 24-23

Marshall kicked our teeth in, there is no transitive property in CFB
