We beat Airforce, who beat Boise, who beat BYU. Therefore, we are the National Champs.

When I make those comparisons, I like to make them for differences of more than one point. Like Colorado State being 11 points better than Notre Dame cause Colorado State beat Toledo by 14 while Notre Dame only beat them by 3.

Here's a fun one for y'all:
Utah State beat Washington State, 26-23.
Washington State beat Stanford, 34-31.
Stanford beat Oregon, 31-24.
Oregon beat Ohio State, 35-28.
Therefore, Utah State is better than the fifth-ranked team in the nation, Ohio State.

There's a guy who is an Ohio State fan I like to make something like this every year that I can. I just have to find someone who knows him to give it to him, and he will know EXACTLY who that person has been hanging around.

Isn't there a website "my team is better than your team" that will generate this for you?
