...but dang the "we beat them by X and someone else beat them by Y" just doesn't work.
Minnesota beat USC, definitely unexpected. Now Minnesota is down to UCLA late in the 4th.
Is UCLA better than USC? But PSU needed overtime (and some help from the zebras) to beat USC, does that mean UCLA (or Minnesota) would beat PSU?
The reality is that besides maybe Oregon or tOSU in this conference, anyone can lose to anyone any day. We had a terrible game offensively (and special teams) on a super windy afternoon against Rutgers then they follow up and play terrible against Wiscy. Sure, that can make it look like an outsized difference between us and Wiscy.
Old Dominion beat Georgia State...who beat Vandy...who beat Bama...who beat Georgia. Old Dominion would DOMINATE Georgia!
It's week to week whether or not anyone can win.
