Eh, I am pretty sure that Jon was saying similar things when Bobby Bowden did it as well. I don't have any issues with it either. There are only 4 slots in the playoffs and the selectors clearly look at margin of victory as a part of the selection criteria.
FWIW Bowden did once send a letter of apology to the Duke head coach who had accursed him of running up the score back in the day.
