Still feel the same way?

I do still feel strongly our losses tend to be followed with a total lack of respect and defamation of of entir program, while when a Power conference loses big it was simply a bad day at the office.

I agree that the accomplishments of the "lower" schools tend to be diminished while excuses are made for the "bigger" schools.

Unfortunately, history beyond the current year is something that will always cloud rankings and judgement.
