"We hate to keep harping on this stuff, but they make it all too easy. The BCS standings are slightly off — LSU at 10 and Boise State at 11 should be switched — and the perpetrator is little Appalachian State."

Just trying to do our part folks...

What hogwash.

Everyone knows that playoff games, by definition, are much tougher than regular season games. The fact that Appy beat Western Illinois in WIU's SECOND playoff game (i.e. more recent playoff experience, plus Appy coming off a hiatus) says to me that this is MORE impressive than a regular season 28-point win. This is equivalent to AT LEAST a 35-38-point win and should be regarded as such.

Of course, the B(C)$ elitists don't even recognize that playoffs exist....

I think that was more or less what they were sayin'. Read the comments. They are pretty funny.

Those comments were fokking KILLING me!...

Did someone tell the computer that James Madison did not even MAKE the playoffs? How much did Virginia Tech get devalued because of that? Or does head to head not count.

Settle down, Jerry....

My favorite...

"I was at this "meaningless" game.
It was anything but meaningless -
it's this thing called playoffs,
our subdivision has them to decide a champion.
It's a novel concept"

That's my buddy Palma, that may be the funniest (and true) thing he's ever said. Nice pic too.

Interesting...Boise jumps LSU because App. blew WIU out of the water? But I thought Florida proved how overrated App. State and the whole SoCon is?

By how much was App. State supposed to beat WIU to stay where they were, anyways?
