That's what 1-UGA and 2-Meeshagan are doing and they are the clear best teams in the land. In the Athens of Georgia the "Bulldogs" have made pussycats out of the "Wildcats" all game long. It's now 44-13, 11:20 4Q. Georgia was a two touchdown favorite.
Michigan isn't playing as highly regarded an opponent in Minnehaha but they are playing on the road and they were -18.5 and they are covering, easily, now 38-10, 3:20 3Q.
On the rule of thumb announced in the subject Notre Dame du lac is not one of the best teams and if they lose here they are a mediocre-good team. They were -6.5 and trail Lew on the road 17-13, 1:03 3Q. Every game the "Irish" play is their opponents' biggest game of the year; they are inured to big game pressure and KFC Yum Place or whatever this red neck joint is called is not exactly the Big House or either of the two Death Valleys. Notre Dame has far, far more talent and was expected to be tested but not to be bested at this stage of the game.
Neither should ¡Ole! Miss if they are the 16th-best team out there, not at home, not against Sooie Pig Sooie (2-3), not even after a heart-stopping and frisson win over Elle Esse Yeux last week. It's 17-13 Miss. entering the 4Q.
Neither should 17-Miami Gardens at home as -19 against the Rambling Yellow Wreck Jackets. TVD and Super Mario's team of prima donnas and 5-stars hold an anemic 10-0 lead with 4:55 3Q.
UMG, ¡Ole! Miss and the Lakers are not covering themselves in glory and could still have their faces covered in egg before their nights are through.
I cannot say strongly enough how impressive Michigan is to me. They will destroy Paterno-Sandusky, another pretender, when they play at Lasch Nov. 11. I wouldn't be a bit surprised though if the Lambda Man-Boy Lovers beat another overrated team, that being Ohio in Umbus in two weeks. The cream is rising and the 2%'ers are separating.
