Ridiculous stat in espn writeup

[STEVEHOLT]

Over the past three seasons, the Orange are 9-2 against teams ranked in the top 10. ...

I saw that too. Seriously impressive. Even more impressive is that only 3 of the wins were home games, 3 were true road games, and 2 were at MSG.

Dang, blew it...

A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

Great stat, but I did want to point out how ridiculous it is we get credit for beating a "top 10 UNC team" in 2010 when they didn't even make the dance.

We did legitimately beat a top-ten UNC team; if anything, it highlights the foolishness of early-season polls.

There shouldn't be any rankings until the first of the new year.
