I guess these are the kind of questions people occupy themselves with a week before the season, but it is kind of pointless. The game has changed a lot since 2006, and right now two leagues pretty much dominate the landscape. Right now we have to compete with the team we have in one of the two toughest divisions in college football. Every year we are going to have 4 very tough interdivisional games against teams that have at least as much talent, and likely quite a bit more than us. We will also have at least one and likely more than one very difficult cross division games. What the 2006 team might have done is irrelevant, and the way the game has changed a think it is impossible to even guess.
