The bird then hit the air pump Friday night when one of the supposably best teams in the conference, the "allegedly" tenth-ranked Apple Chills, lost at fellow Acker Virginia Tech 17-10. On a 1-10 "allegedly" meter that gets an 7.
That same Black Friday the Dookies lost at Powerless Five Charlotte 31-28. "Allegedly" meter 7.
Today Syracuse won at Ohio 29-9. The "Boobcats" were actually favored by a couple pernts. Competitive meter 5.
Oy. The University of Miami Gardens who a critical mass of AP voters deemed the 14th-best in the land got rolled by the #1 Tide 44-13 on a neutral field. The "Tropical Depressions" didn't even cover the spread. Not even close. "Allegedly" meter 6.
#3 Clemson lost 10-3 to #5 Jawja of the hated SEC. That's your best team there in Clemson. Year in, year out, it's Clemson and the Pretenders. And your best team just lost in week one to an SEC team on a neutral field, and demonstrated utter futility in scoring but domination in punting, throwing pick-sixes, and all them bad things? That's an 8 on "Allegedly."
Publocc does not credit wins by “Big Time” football schools over those from lower divisions. We do issue demerits for losses. And on that score the final score is Northern Illinoise 22 the "Rambling Yellow Jacket Wreck" 21 in Hotlanta. Since Tech was a 19 point fave that demerits another 8 on the "Allegedly" meter.
