Ranking the best losses of playoff contenders
If you've ever read this column before, first off, thanks. Second, then you know I have a soft spot for non-power Gang of 5 schools. Still, we're not including Troy, Boise State and San Diego State on this list. But of those three, I'd rank them in that order. Troy's only defeat was like Louisville's, a six-point loss at Clemson that came down to an onside kick. Meanwhile, Boise lost to a resurgent but still shaky Wyoming team on the road, and San Diego State inexplicably fell to South Alabama on the road, the same team that lost to Troy two weeks later.

I love your willingness to consider teams outside the Holy Grail of football. Maybe your last statement should tell you something about your "Power Gang of 5" concept! SDSU got beat at USA because they got outplayed, plain and simple and USA is an average SBC team at best. Maybe you should reevaluate who you consider "good" competition. Just sayin! I can't understand the fascination with SDSU!
