Ugh, I hate the "10 win" argument
They play 2+ more games now than they did "back in the day"

No shite, the point is odd years are more productive as 2009 is the only one we fell short in. I'm not comparing it to the history books, but I think this is a large enough sample size to indicate that the schedule sets up better in odd years. We've competed for the natty in '03, 07, and 11.

Am I to assume that you don't consider gaining 1,000 yards either running or receiving impressive either?
And that all games back in the day were tough because all teams were great?

Then everyone should have them right? Since it's so easy now.

Exactly.
12 regular season games plus a bowl game. Going 10-3 is nice, but not nearly as powerful as it was 30 years ago.
Another one of my biggest pet peeves is teams proudly saying they're in a "New Year's Day bowl."
This meant something 30 years ago when it was only the Orange, Sugar, Rose, and Cotton bowls.
Now they have several lesser bowls on or after Jan. 1, so the whole "New Years Day bowl" thing has no meaning.
