His team’s bragging rights smashed by a last minute upset at Pitt, Danny White is broken but unbowed.
“If it’s a power anything, it’s a Power 6,” White says. “Our conference was better than one or two of the so-called Power 5 last year.”
As Stewart Mandel pointed out, at least according to Sagarin, that ain’t even close to right.
But what do you expect from a guy who thinks college football’s postseason has been in “a kind of beauty pageant mode”?
Bless his heart.

When the ACC Coastal is better than either of your divisions, you have no leg to stand on about the strength of your league.
Speaking of Sagarin, we’re at #5 now.

Sagarin. Isn’t that the rating service that didn’t even have UGA ranked in the Top 25 as recently as a couple of weeks ago?

So which P5 conferences do you think were worse than the AAC was last season, Mayor?

Mayor didn’t question the assertion; he questioned the veracity of the evidence. If you want to use advanced metrics to make the claim, try using one that the commentariat consider a littme more trustworthy.

If he didn’t question the assertion, this sure seems like a distinction without a difference.

Is there anything that screams more “lady doth protest too much” than using Power 6?

He’s not wrong about it being a beauty pageant, what he fails to realize is his school is willfully wearing spanx in the swimsuit segment.

I had told someone the other day that a loss to a bottom feeding Power 5 school would not shut Danny White up. Sadly I was correct.
