The end of the Who Beat Who Argument

The 2007/2008 football season provided an interesting opportunity to once and for all put the Who Beat Who argument to an end courtesy of a certain early season football game. So here goes my demonstration why this argument never works....

During last season, Liberty beat Tusculum, who beat Catawba, who beat Carson Newman, who beat Tennessee-Chattanooga, who beat Georgia Southern, who beat Wofford, who beat Appalachian State, who beat Michigan, who beat Florida, who beat Tennessee, who beat Georgia, who beat Oklahoma State, who beat Kansas State, who beat Colorado, who beat Oklahoma, who beat Missouri, who beat Arkansas, who beat South Carolina, who beat Kentucky, who beat LSU.

There you have it. A D-2 school could have beaten LSU for the national championship last year. I could have wound around D-1AA and D-2 some more and even back up into D-1 but I think the illustration is complete enough. Remember this the next time you start to say...."Yeah but that team lost to...."

now if you can end the "this is the best conference" or the "this is the greatest rivalry" arguments we can proceed nicely
