While the overwhelming scores against much lesser schools can be obnoxious, I can forgive it if the ranked schools play about their entire roster--for the experience-- from first tier to fourth or so. Some did yesterday (e.g., UGA). Others seemed just about driving up a score to make a point at the expense of the lesser team. Unseemly and stupid, IMO.
