I think the issue isn't too specific - it's that some fans tend to put the BG loss in a tier of its own compared to our other losses, when in fact BG's season record indicates otherwise. It was indeed shocking at the time we played them.
To illustrate - to which team below is our worst loss based on various rankings and independent gauges of team strength?
| GT | Team A | Team B |
Colley's ranking (resume-based) | 58 | 65 | 75 |
Massey's ranking | 60 | 99 | 80 |
FEI rank | 52 | 78 | 84 |
The BC loss was bad, but it's not talked about in the same way as Bowling Green. BC is team B, BG is team A. I think they are both in the same tier of badness, with BC being slightly worse.
