We all know that employing transitive reasoning (you know, x beat, y, y beat z, therefore x is better than z) is essentially non sequitir-i.e. a useless way to rate the relative power of college football teams. However, SNL has been preaching to anyone willing to listen that USC’s beatdowns of Virginia and Big 10 middleweight, Ohio State, would be much less impressive as the season wore on.
In true Ms. Cleo fashion, Virginia has since gone on to lose 45-10 to UConn. Those of you who are truly worthy of society’s pity swa UConn escape with a 31-28 victory of the visiting Baylor Cubs last night. One step removed is the fact that the Baby Bears were drummed 41-13 by Wake Forest-at home. The inevitable distillation of these facts, which is by no means difficult, is that Virginia may be the worst team in college football this year, which in turn means that USC’s opening day victory is about as relevant as Jenna Jamison’s ability to act.
The prophecy will be completed -stay with me here-when Ohio State loses another 2 (and possibly 3) games this year, which should further undermine the wave of Trojan love that has swept up the mainstream media outlets. Trust SNL, the Men of Troy are quite vincible.
