24. Penn State 9-4 183
25. Tennessee 9-4 181

I'll give you Arky and Tenn. Georgia? BYU? ND? Wake? BC? OSU (who we beat by 5 tds)? All these teams are better than Cal?

BC, Va Tech, UGA, BYU, and Notre Dame would have all had their way with Cal. Given the Hall of Fame Bowl result, I would have to like Penn State's chances. TCU would be a toss up.

Oklahoma has been a dominant force in college football for the better part of a century. Cal has played moderately successful football for about 8 minutes. Comparing those two programs is like comparing the Artic Circle to an ice cube. Find me all these teams that have won a National Title within 4 years of a 3-8 season. Other than the 2000 Oklahoma team, I can't think of one.

you are ridiculous. ND couldn't have their way with UCLA (a team Cal destroyed). BC, TCU, BYU, and Virgina Tech didn't play anyone all season.

Or perhaps like comparing a pen light to the sun?

The only teams you played beat your brains out. What's your point?

Yes. I like to mix it up, keep the analogies fresh.

exotic_vols · 02-16-2007, 05:35 PM

Guys, OK, leave those indirect comparison alone, we will be head to head next season, we will see at that time.

If you're using that type of spurious logic, Penn State would have beaten Cal so badly, the game would have been stopped midway through the second quarter. Also, Air Force would have drilled you. Further, Kentucky would have worn you out. South Carolina would have cleaned your clock.

USC did not beat our brains out. That game was tied well into the 4th quarter.

Buy if we beat you that means you stink remember. I'll make sure to remind you of that come sept 3rd. It would be pretty embarising to lose to a team that couldn't win the conference usa.

23-9. Two late tds sealed it for SC. Since no one has beaten them at SC for 5 years, I don't think that was an embarassing showing.

The cheer "OVER-RATED" should be dedicated in perpetuity to Jeff Tedford.

droski · 02-16-2007, 05:43 PM

The fact that we are even having this discussion shows that tedford is not overrated. He's also had 5 staight top-20 recruiting classes. A joke compared to you guys I know, but not bad for a 1-10 program.
