how many of those SEC games have been against people not named Chattanooga, Charleston Southern, VMI, etc...

Are those FBS or FCS schools? Considering CB's post lists records against FBS school, why would it matter what they did against Chattanooga, Charleston Southern, VMI, etc...??

I'll work on that when I have some time. Colley's website had those other numbers easily accessible. I would have to go through each team to figure out what you want. I doubt there is a very big difference. I'm sure the WAC and Mountain West opponents have a slightly higher winning percentage because the bottom half of those conferences travel to the big boys every year to fund their athletic departments. Even if the Mountain West plays slightly better teams in the non conference, it still doesn't justify them winning half as many of those games as the big time conferences do if they want to be considered equal.

I guess you better tell your buddies that OSU's win vs. Oregon and Pryor's great game means nothing since it was last year and OSU fans still go off of that game for this year.(at least they did until the Wisky game)

Nice contradiction: you defend Boise by mentioning them being undefeated last year, then mention OSU's Rose Bowl win means nothing. Make up your mind.

Because they are the same team (with the whole team back) and couldnt get any worse, while OSU lost starters and has lost a game this year. How has Boise looked down from last year? They havent. A team that hasnt lost for 2 years and brings back the whole team is way more accomplished then a team who loses players and loses. Make sense?
