Better Year

When it comes to match ups, B matches up agaisnt A better. Kinda like clemson and va tech. Both teams can stop the run but not the pass. And clemson is a pass O and va tech is a run O.


But as a total season, va tech had the better year.

Nah, team B caught team A early and at home (isn't someone always bringing up homefield advantage around here?). If the 2 teams played right now at a neutral site, we might get a different result.

4/5 of that is completely irrelevant, and the one thing that does matter doesn't outweigh the two facts listed by the OP.

How about that for the 6 like opponents, Team A's margin of victory was 100 points better than Team B's? That's huge. Suggests that the day of the head-to-head, Team A didn't show up even though they were consistently better otherwise.

Fitz Toussaint had 2 carries...

Clemson beat va tech twice. Its a bad match up. Just like michigan was vs va tech. And clemson was vs wvu.

Clemson would have been better off facing a south carolina than wvu. But I wouldn't say wvu is better than south carolina

Wisconsin thought the same thing. Game was just as close a the first one with them coming out on top. I dont see UM coming out on top a second time against us, you dont matchup well enough. BTW, EARLY game ? Wasnt it like the 6th game of the year in a 12 game season. Is that EARLY ?
 
Im all for running your mouth, its fun to be on top.

Lets not be victims of Pride.

But how many people watched them play those 6 games?? I don't know about you, but that's how I measure greatness.

Nice stat though. I remember you working it out earlier, nice and tidy now.

It was the way this team developed.

That's a good point too. I didn't watch them.

Yeah, that probably is when they taught the difference between their and there.

Tonight, but it's on the road. Expectations are low for the most part, excited to see how Burke handles the atmosphere though.

Second grade. My daughter learned that last year.

Well, the Ohio school system has produced some great minds (present company included), it's very possible your daughter is a few steps ahead of old G&W.

I wonder how a 3rd matchup would go down in Madison?

Yes, Michigan was obviously better in weeks 11 and 12 than they were in week 6. Week 6 is a lot earlier than here and now. Thanks for keeping up with simple logic.
