what kind of wisdom is involved in counting bowl stats now towards the season totals - but not retroactively counting them in the past?
for example, wells just passed griffin for single season rushing stats by an ohio state sophomore. however, wells needed this game to surpass that, but griffin's 150 yards in the Rose Bowl are not counted.
now, that's a record of very little significance, but we saw others in danger of falling this year (i.e. Barry Sanders' single season rushing record to a guy averaging almost 75 yards less per game, despite that Sanders had almost 250 yards rushing in his bowl game that are not counted). i think my point stands.
