You make reasonable arguments on here most of the time but to say Mercer and Clay are on the same level is ludicrous. Mercer would beat Clay by 4 or 5 td's.

According to Massey's:

Mercer Rnk #101 State, 21 Class
Clay Rnk #115 State, 23 Class

Russell Co vs Either is projected @ 41 -14 Lakers.

Not a lot of difference between the two. My point is that the Lakers played that bad. Partially because of what Mercer did in the game, and partially because we didn't do.
