People are acting like beating top-10 teams on the road is

no big deal.
The teams currently in the top-12 of the BCS have a combined 1 home loss all year and that was South Carolina's miraculous 17-point comeback against Missouri in 2OTs. The top 12 teams have 12 road losses and 1 neutral site loss.
List of Losses for the top-12: FSU- None OSU- None Auburn- at LSU Alabama- at Auburn Missouri- South Carolina (home) OK State- at West Virginia Stanford- at Utah, at USC South Carolina- at Georgia, at Tennessee Baylor- at Oklahoma State Michigan State- at Notre Dame Arizona State- at Stanford, Notre Dame (neutral site) Oregon- at Stanford, at Arizona
This season has shown that you just can't expect to beat the top teams on the road. With that said, this year's blow-out loss to FSU and last year's loss to South Carolina were unacceptable if we want to reach that next level. We have to start consistently winning those matchups at home if we want to go from a top-15 team to a top-5 team.
