up against another. There will be upsets in the playoffs, just because the way teams match up against each other doesn't necessarily reflect which team is the strongest against the rest of the field. Our performances against SMU and KSU pretty much illustrated that. We beat them because of matchups, but they may be able to beat teams we'd lose to.
I'd much prefer a first round bye, and get 9-10 extra days of film study, game plan prep, recovery and rest. If we make the playoffs, let's shoot for the natty.
