You can not lose, under any circumstances, and be the objectively better team that day.

Yes, you can. Good god. I'm going to go shoot myself in the ****ing mouth now...

The FACTS point to VT as the better team.

No, your FACTS point to VT being the more deserving team. I'm not debating that. Hell, I even have them ranked about Nebraska in my top ten. Your facts say nothing about which team is better, however, while a one-point win at home does suggest that VT wasn't better than Nebraska, at that point in time at least.

I think VT was purposely dicking around all game just to anger you and inch you towards suicide.

Very clever using the frame of time to backtrack on your stance that Nebraska is better than VT using your own metric of HFA Mind Points invalidating wins as an objective measure.

Just stop, MRT. You're contributing the least to the conversation of anyone here, which is pretty shocking considering the abysmally low intelligence Guy and Ming are displaying.

when compared to an objective game or series of games between teams chosen on objective measures.

Only, perhaps, if you are determining a conference champion. I don't see how Boise State is objectively better, say, LSU when they don't play any of the same teams (IIRC).

Typical Nebraska fan.

That guy went to Virginia Tech. We don't allow Asians into Nebraska.

No.. the FACTS point to VT being the better team. The facts prove that they have had a tougher schedule, lost only to one of the best teams in the country, and WON when they had to. If Nebraska was a better team, they would beat VT. Instead, they choked, and let VT beat them. One could easily argue that Nebraska out played them on that specific day... but when it came down to winning the game, they couldn't. So that makes them the lesser team.

You raise no facts that support Nebraska is a better team, only your opinion based on the notion that Nebraska acutually won the heads up match up because they only LOST by one. That LOSS suggests to me that VT was better than Nebraska, at that point in time at least.

Talk about low intelligence, you are the one that's claiming you can win a game, or prove you are better, when you score less than the other team. Didn't they teach basic math to you when you went to school. Maybe you should go back to school so you can learn the basics and maybe work your way up to average on the standard intelligence tests.

No, they don't.

The facts prove that they have had a tougher schedule

Playing a tougher schedule doesn't make a team better. It makes them more deserving.

lost only to one of the best teams in the country

Losing to a great team doesn't make a team any better. It makes their loss look better and therefore makes them more deserving.

If Nebraska was a better team, they would beat VT.

On a neutral field or at home, they likely would have. If you played the game ten times, they likely would have won more than VT. The better team doesn't always win.

You raise no facts that support Nebraska is a better team

Just because you can't understand my argument doesn't mean I don't have one. Imran and DanS seem to understand just fine.

Talk about low intelligence, you are the one that's claiming you can ... prove you are better, when you score less than the other team.

Of course you can. Any non-moron who accepts the existence of home-field advantage would agree.

Didn't they teach basic math to you when you went to school.

Your problem is that you only understand basic math and think that it's the best way to analyze complex data.

The typical Nebraska fan didn't even go to Nebraska.

On a neutral field or at home, they likely would have. If you played the game ten times, they likely would have won more than VT. The better team doesn't always win.

And that is supported by what fact? All the power ratings suggested just the opposite. All the real experts would bet that VT would win more games if they played 10 times. The better team dosen't always win by 3 points or more at home, so what's your point.

Just because you can't understand my argument doesn't mean I don't have one. Imran and DanS seem to understand just fine.

Which just says less about them. You are welcome to your argument, but that doesn't make it the right one or a correct one.

Of course you can. Any non-moron who accepts the existence of home-field advantage would agree.

I'm not ignoring home field advantage, but I'm not ignoring the outcome either. Only a moron doesn't know the difference between a win and a loss.

Your problem is that you only understand basic math and think that it's the best way to analyze complex data.

You aren't using any complex data. You're whole claiim is based on the fact didn't cover the home field advantage... You are ignoring that Nebraska choked, VT did what it had to do to win the game, and actually WON the game. All the complex data points to the fact that VT is a better team, and real experts agree.

So feel free to call people names, try to insult them, and think you are right when you state that other non experts agree with your terrible and wrong opinions... It's all just a smoke screen to cover that you are incorrect in this. Frankly, I think the real experts know more than you do, and they disagree with you.

The typical Nebraska fan didn't even go to Nebraska.

I've never met a Nebraska fan who didn't either grow up in the state and/or attend the university, or is the child of someone who falls into either of the previous two categories. Since we don't allow Asians in the state, this makes it impossible for an Asian to be a Nebraska fan.

Your sample size is puny and too Nebraskan.

I'm too tired of this to address all your moronic points again, but I'd like to point out that this simply isn't true. You can go back and read any number of recaps of the Nebraska-VT games and see "real experts" saying that Nebraska dominated the game and only lost because of a last second miracle for VT.
