My favorite example to illustrate this point is the 2007 Boston College-Virginia Tech game.įor the first 56 minutes, Virginia Tech was clearly the better team.
It doesn't even mean the winner was the better of the two teams on that day. I want to set a few things straight before all that goes into overdrive.įirst, just because one team beats another team, it doesn't mean the winner is the better team overall.
Unless this weekend's LSU-Alabama game is a big blowout, we're going to have a debate over the following month about whether the two teams should have a rematch in the national championship game.
