By it not being a 2way street because they get to be on TV means NFL players should not be paid either

People can try to bring down this 14-0 start all they want but we have looked good.
Beating UD by 78 on a nuetral court is good.
Beating OU by double digits on the road is solid.
Winning by 20 @ Miami is nothing to sneeze out because of the margin of victory.
Beating Seton Hall by 20 at home is impressive.
Also, not losing a game is the most impressive at all. A lot of teams have played a good schedule but have a couple of really poor losses. We have no poor loses.

Undefeated, but are they worthy?

There are still seven undefeated teams in division I-A as we enter 2011, but two of them are considered longshots by most to even make the NCAA tournament.
UCF is intriguing. They are actually in the top 20 of the RPI and even ahead of Ohio State, but as they enter Conference USA play, that number has likely peaked. The Knights played an average non-conference schedule that has one sure quality win -- over Florida. They also beat Miami and South Florida.
Many people dismiss them because they figure that Memphis is still the overwhelming team to beat in the league, but I think they have set themselves up for a possbile at-large bid if they can perform well in the league.
Cincinnati, which is 14-0 and has two Big East wins already, is way down at 69th in the RPI this morning. That's a stunning number. I've been tracking RPI since 1993-94 and could not find a 14-0 team that far down. The last undefeated team on New Year's Day that far down in the rankings was Texas A&M in 2006 (95th at 10-0).
You have to play a pretty wretched schedule to be 69th at 14-0. The Bearcats played the 10th worst non-conference schedule, and they played most of those games at home. So far, they have played only one RPI top 100 team (No. 62 Dayton) and just six that rank better than 250th.
When you play a schedule like that, you are basically saying that you intend to make your case for the tournament in conference. That means not just muddling through, but doing very well. Cincinnati probably needs at least 12 wins, and even that may not do it for them. They cannot afford to be anywhere near the bottom of the at-large pool with a non-conference schedule that bad.

Our team is good. If you watch them, you'll see it. If you look at the RPI and SOS, you won't. Even then, we're absolutely dominating fools. Georgetown beats DePaul by 12 at Gtown, UC beats DePaul by 16...and UC takes $hit for it. Haha. The hypocrisy in the media and UC haters is awesome.
Keep grindin'. Keep winning. Feel slighted. Beat people down.
I like SWG's motto: "silent killer."
Don't pay attention to us. Ignore us. Just don't act shocked when we beat you down and make you look like a frightened team that couldn't handle our pressure and couldn't score 60 points.
