Texas who? Virginia who? All people see is giving up 41 ppg to 4 non P5 teams including freakin USU and Nevada.
The P5 crap doesn't matter much until you win the other games you're supposed to win first. I'd rather beat the teams we're supposed to with losses to P5's than beat a few P5s but have some embarrassing non P5 losses. Either one makes us look inferior but at least a P5 loss shouldn't be quite as embarrassing.
