Oklahoma beat Akron 41-3 in the season opener. That’s a 38-point margin.
Bowling Green beat Akron 59-10 in game 7, a 49-point margin.
Does that make Bowling Green 11 points better than Oklahoma? Hell, no!
Yet comparative scores are used regularly on this board to “prove” that a team is better or worse than another team.
By the way, Terry Bowden’s Zips are 3-5 for the season, but have won 3 of their last 5 games. Terry inherited a team that had one-loss seasons for three straight years, so that’s progress. Not Bobby Bowden level … yet.
