I think that quote is attributed to the wrong person. :shrug:
As far as my CFB math being lame, it really doesn't matter is all I am saying. You said it yourself, until the game is played it's the best tool you have. I'll give you that to a certain degree, but there are so many flaws this early in the season. The sample size isn't really a good measuring stick. But until that game is played on the field both sides really just need to worry about running the table and winning all their games.
I'd just ask that you would wait until at least the 5th or 6th week before you compare all schedules and try and do your CFB math. You can't base everything off 3 weeks. I mean really, the cracks at USC having on off-week? Come on, that's what's lame. I mean I know you personally wouldn't punish a team for an off week, but I suspect plenty of people would follow your point and do just that.
