We are miles away. Can we stop using this argument all the time? Please?
Gee, we played well against that team, and that team beat that team, etc. Doesn't fly.
There was one year back before the BCS when one of the big bowls had a de facto championship game, but each had one loss. If you took the losses, and found the teams they lost to, and the teams they lost to, and basically did a six degress of Kevin Bacon thing, BOTH teams in the big game should have been .... Furman. So just stop.
