[QUOTE="Samuel S, post: 129430006, member: 1754664"] Ya know, if WVU won a national championship, no matter what, I doubt many of would whine stupidly that we won it with an SOS ( an hypothetical concept in any event in terms of measuring with precision) below that of teams we beat out for it. I'm sure FSU fans are happier absorbing silly whining from fans of other schools with the trophy in their case than they would be claiming they lost it to a team with a weaker schedule. Speaking of FSU, it's a shame that back when they and Miami and the Northeastern schools were independents, a great league could never get established. Imagine if in the 80s the following football independents had created a league: Syracuse BC Rutgers Pitt Penn State WVU Va. Tech South Carolina FSU Miami Not only would that have been a great league in football (and good enough in b-ball), but when the realignment occurred, it would have been a very attractive choice for teams like Maryland, Clemson, Ga. Tech, Louisville and very possibly would have "beat" the ACC rather than losing teams to it as the Big East did. [/QUOTE]
