This argument never ceases to make me chuckle. Of course, this year's Cincy and Coastal Carolina teams (hypothetically) would not have done as well with an SEC schedule. But give a handful of select G5 programs membership to a power league and let them "recruit up" for a few years and perhaps they would do fairly well at that point. That is the "better hypothetical" to use because it provides context. The tired, generic point some of you make ... not so much.

I'm in a foul state given Cincy, Indiana and North Carolina lost their respective bowl games and, as such, I can't do something outlandish to celebrate what I was hoping would be three victories. We could have had on this board photos of Bill Dazzle in a compromised situation involving juggling torches, small mammals, S&M garb and Chinese folk music. This is the most significant "loss" related to the bowls. I feel badly for you lads for not getting to experience this.
