Here's some objective facts for you. W/L without context is the worst kind of metric. (Bowl games is worse with random conference tie-ins and weird OOC scheduling things.) [I]SRS isn't the greatest, but it is a simple rating system and tends to conform to the more advanced stuff that is harder to track down. SoS is Strength of Schedule.[/I]

This removes your "take away the cupcakes and he's even worse" line. He's had the 3rd hardest path schedule wise in the last 39 years. People wishing for Dougie don't realize that he had the easiest schedules by far. P and Mac were awesome, mostly.

This years SoS is 6.33 - the hardest since 1984. During a pandemic. When his top 3 players were either hurt or opted out or both.

EDIT: I memory-holed Gerg! Too funny. Added him back in. Objectively horrible.
