Re: Football! (OK, we will even let soccer come in)
You really have to look at where teams were (over-rated) at the time of the game AND where they are now.
Michigan:
Notre Dame, #12 in Week 4 and 5 now, 42-21
Wisconsin, Un-Ranked in Week 5 and 8, 27-13
Penn State, UR in Week 8 and 25, 17-10
Ohio State, 1 and 1, 42-39 loss
Average Rank when played is 12 and 12.6 now, LOSSES DO NOT COUNT
Ohio State:
Texas, #2 in week 3 and 13 now, 27-7
Penn State, 24 in week 5 and 25, 28-6
Iowa, 13 in week 6 and UR, 38-17
Michigan, 2 and 2, 42-39
Average Rank when played 10.5 and 13 now, NO losses
Arkansas:
USC, #6 in week 2 and 3 now, got spanked 50-14
Alabama, UR in week 5 and 33, barely won 24-23 in OT
Auburn, 2 in week and 12, 27-10
Tennessee, 13 in week 12 and 20, 31-14
Average Rank when played 7.5 and 16 now. LOSSES do not count!
First of all, your Hoggies got beat by #6 coming out of the chute on Week 2 so they've only BEATEN 2 ranked teams, whoopee! OSU had a convincing win over #2 the same day. Second, they'll have to win over #10 LSU and #4 Florida before they make up for the LOSS.
Lets see here who has Michigan played thats in the top 25 this year??? Maybe 2 teams. Unless you count theirselves!!!
Now Ohio State and Michigan may be the best teams but you have to prove that by strength of schedule and I do not know exactly who they have played so list it out for me (top 25 teams) and you could change my mind.
