[QUOTE="weklfrog, post: 665614, member: 138"] If all of the other teams in the conference were relatively evenly-matched and beat up on each other so that everyone had several losses (but also several wins), we would not get much credit for running the table in conference because we would not have any marquis wins. We are better off having several ranked conference opponents even though that means that several other conference opponents would have very poor records. Poll voters pay attention to the marquis wins but will not differentiate between beating a bunch of middle-of-the pack conference teams versus beating the bottom feeders. They consider both groups unworthy. [/QUOTE]
