Saturday night I argued that struggling against clearly inferior competition even by halftime is damaging for aspiring top college football teams. Not all final scores are created equal. 35-14 with a 28-0 lead at the half is much more appealing to the eye than 35-14 and a 17-14 lead at the half.
#3 Georgia led dreadful Tennessee 26-14 at halftime of their game Saturday night. #4 Ohio State led #25 Michigan State 27-10 at the half. Georgia went on to win their game 43-14, covering the -24 point spread; Ohio State won theirs 34-10, covering their -20 spread. This afternoon Associated Press voters elevated prettier Ohio State into a dead tie with them ugly "Bulldogs" for number three.
