ECU's SOS is 76 Houston's is 82.. not too big of a disparity
ECU also lost to SMU- a team the Cougs handled, so your Tulsa argument is moot
And if you wanna get real technical with your A beat B scenerio..
Houston beat Okie St. OSU beat UGA UGA beat GT and GT bitch slapped UNC..
Not that anyone cares but in my opinion the fastest way to lose money gambling is by playing connect the dots.
