The game is rigged. Win out and and its because "your schedule was soft," even if it is demonstrably better than other people. Lose and you're out just the same.
It's like running for class president in high school - the ability to speak in public and actually govern is irrelevant. Are you pretty? Do people know your name? Who cares if you can play football and you just keep winning. Are you beating pretty teams? Do people know your name?
Ooooh shiny!
/stating the obvious
Here's what I'm cheering for:
Ole Miss wins the SEC after losing to Memphis. Clemson picks up two losses and the ACC officially sucks top to bottom. The Baylor/TCU winner goes down to Okie State/OU loser. Ohio State loses a couple, or at very least drops the Championship game to Iowa (who will probably lose to Mich. or Mich St.). BYU and Army are irrelevant, Notre Dame loses to Temple, but Notre Dame beats Stanford. Toledo loses to the Huskies, two directional Michigans, and a green bowling alley - because screw those guys (no real dislike, just doesn't help my cause).
Temple wins out after a Game Day thrashing of Notre Dame [edited because a sharp shooting Memphis fan pointed out my error
]
Then watch those bung holes try to keep the AAC out with a straight face.
