OK- the Catamounts lost by 23 to Campbell and everyone is ready to bury Western Carolina. People said the Mocs win over Western Carolina meant nothing because of that game.
Comparative scoring is dangerous. Here's why. Western lost on Sunday to Ohio State by 25. That's only two more points than Western lost to Campbell by. Therefore, clearly, Ohio State is two points better than Campbell. Campbell should be in the Top 5, right? Not hardly.
What about this? The Mocs lost to Tennessee by 20 and lost to FIU by 21. So FIU should be ranked ahead of the Vols right? Not hardly.
So, look at it this way. Teams play different on different nights. It's a different team every night. That's why they play the games. Our win over Western Carolina should not be diminished because they lost by 23 to Campbell. Because they lost to Campbell? Sure. Because they lost by 23 to Campbell? Not hardly- especially since it was a six point game with eight minutes left.
GO MOCS!
