you are better than that margin of victory comment.

Wait, is your position that margin of victory doesn't matter? Because that's obviously wrong, and that should be obvious to a poker player who understands probability and expectation.

Texas and USC have both killed most teams on their schedules. When they've played excellent teams, they've both struggled. I think Texas is better, but it's close.

I am a huge MOV guy, but I will concede that MOV needs to be handled a bit carefully in blowouts. The difference in a 49-point win and a 35-point win is less than the difference in a 17-point win and a 3-point win.
