Let's say there are two football conferences in a galaxy far away. Let's call these "make believe" conferences Red and Blue. The Red conference is generally considered to be superior to the other and there are a lot of reports this is because it is much, much faster. Aparently there is no strength the Blue conference can counter with. Further, the fans of the Red conference will remind everyone at every turn their group of teams is far better than anything else.
As these questions are debated, teams from the blue and red conferences lock horns each year in bowl games. Of course this doesn't account for several very important things: such as teams from both the red and blue conferences are also playing other teams from yellow and green conferences for other bowls. It also doesn't account for "National Championships" or many other things. But, at least these two groups do face off with one another each year at the end of the season. It also doesn't consider that most of these bowl games between blue and red are played as near 'home' games for the red teams. Anyway, play begins and the following results play out on the field...

After looking at the head to head results, would you think that it is possible the two leagues are pretty even, or should the Blue conference drop to a lower division? Is it possible that just by looking at head to head results, the Blue conference might have something to counter all that new generation speed?
EDITOR'S NOTE: Don't take this too seriously. It is very much tongue in cheek. We of course all know what this is about. I used ’99 as the cut off because that was as far back as the website went that I used to record the scores.
