The Jets couldn't beat the Colts in the Super Bowl either. Nor could Miami beat Nebraska in the '84 Orange Bowl. NC State and Villanova had no chance against Houston and Georgetown in the NCAA Finals. Alabama couldn't win against a clearly superior Miami team in '92, nor could an inferior Ohio State knock off those same Hurricanes last season. Shall I go on?
I don't think any of those is really comparable and I think both of us could see the reason why the favorites in those games were favored and why it was not unreasonable to take the points--I did in a three of them (Ohio State last year; Alabama in 92; and Namaith). I am a Washington Husky fan; but I think this OU team would be very difficult to beat.
" I can't see how you can say LSU has no chance." And I suppose if you have to pick a possible victim in a relatively hopeless task, the home team may have something going for it. Although I think SC has better personel to match up against OU.
