I know this thread is going to be full of LOL Rutgers which is fine, but this is my national championship right here. We didn't just win, we looked like a legitimately good football team. Seriously go look at some highlights, some of Pop Watson's throws were nuts. I almost wonder if this might be the year we manage our first ever bowl bid. I'm so happy y'all

As someone who went to both ECU and UMass, I feel this on a visceral level. But if UMass can get a legitimate win, then based on this logic the Pirates will beat Bama this weekend, right?
