But I'll play...

I was 10 in 1966---Colts were my first favorite team because it was my Dads team---Unitas, Mackey, Bubba Smith, ...and so on...

Shula came to my home town Miami and it was the Phins ever since.

I know too much football.

Thing is---I'm a stat guy... I don't think stats lie. Same with strength of schedule.

If Boise state played in the SEC, they'd go 5-5 ---errr maybe.
