You keep throwing me that knuckleball and keep hitting it out of the park. Once again:

We have McNabb...they don't have Vick
1995 Syracuse 9-3 (5-2 in conference)  Virginia Tech 10-2 (6-1) They beat us, 7-31
1996 Syracuse 9-3 (6-1) Virginia Tech 10-2 (6-1) We beat them 52-21
1997 Syracuse 9-4 (6-1) Virginia Tech 7-5 (5-2) They beat us, 3-31
1998 Syracuse 8-4 (6-1) Virginia Tech 9-3 (5-2) We beat them 28-26
Totals Syracuse 35-14 (23-5) non-conference: 12-9  Virginia Tech 36-12 (22-6) non-conference: 14-6 2-2 head to head, points 90-109

We no longer have McNabb...and now they have Vick
1999 Syracuse 7-5 (3-4) Virginia Tech 11-1 (7-0) They beat us 0-62
2000 Syracuse 6-5 (4-3) Virginia Tech 11-1 (6-1) They beat us 14-22
Totals: Syracuse 13-10 (7-7) non-conference 6-3 Virginia Tech 22-2 (13-1) non-conference 9-1 head to head, 0-2 points: 14-84

The six year totals, when we had McNabb for four years and they had Vick for 6:
Syracuse 48-24 (30-12) NC: 18-12, Virginia Tech 58-14 (35-7) NC: 23-7 head-to-head: 2-4 points: 104-193

Yes, they had a lighter non-conference schedule and a better record there. But they were just one game short of us in the conference when we had McNabb and they didn't yet have Vick and when they did have Vick, they won 93% of their conference games while we won 82& of ours with McNabb. And we were only a .500 conference team without McNabb. And they dominated the head-to-head games.

They were as good as us when we had the superior quarterback and far better they had the superior quarterback. The non-conference schedule had nothing to do with it. I think I'll just keep a copy of this and re-post it the next time this comes up. It will save time.
