4 wins by the #1&2 placed USAC team versus ODAC #3 and below. The other 3 wins were against ODAC teams with only 1 ODAC victory in 2005.
llama, llama, llama...guilford was in a 3 way tie for
2nd place (not 3rd), and 4-2 against odac comp. (avg margin in losses: 9 pts)...they were 1-3 against the usasac (avg margin in losses: 18 pts) and 0-3 against teams in the top 3 spots in the usasac...they were 1-2 against similar odac schools - 4 of the usasac wins
were against the 3 last place odac teams, who each were 1-5 in conference (3 total odac wins) - 2 of those wins were by a usasac team that was winless in usasac play (su vs. cua and rmc) and mc and fc did each beat ehc - su went 0-7 in the usasac, but 2-1 in the odac - furthermore, both on-field wins by the odac were by #1&2 placed teams over usasac treams that
TOTALED one usasac win between them (gc vs. su) and finished last and next-to-last in the conference - your 2nd place team beat our next-to-last place team
by one point...mc and fc beat ehc by 34 and 16 points, respectively
re: playoffs this year...had the committee sent bc to wesley in the first round instead of fc, they would have been one and done just like fc, so bc's sched of cc and usasac bottom feeders would have done them very little good - i'm not saying fc would have won at thiel or against w&j, but we KNOW that wesley was 39 points better than bc
bottom line...at the very least there is legit debate about the usasac vs. the odac in football...that's not the case in baseball...the usasac is CLEARLY BETTER
