Injuries: Though I think we would suffer the same fate if

selected for the playoffs, I hate the hypocrisy and/or bias of the committee. One of their stated criteria involves results that occurred injuries. i don't think a better case than our revolving door at LT (pun intended) is a better example. If we played Cincy again, the game wouldn't be close. That said, our schedule continues to make me cringe.
