    I wish I had a nickel for every team that was crowned so early and fell flat on their face.

    True many of us have experienced that sudden derailment of the Nat'l Championship train.

    Irish in '93 were a lock after beat FSU
    Texas in '77 were a lock after finishing the season undefeated and with the Heisman trophy winner. Some guy named Joe derailed us.
    Just a couple of years ago a Alabama frieght train moving on down the tracks was just a couple of seconds away from taking that next step...wham. Didn't see it coming.
    Of course you have felt the pain of a MSU upset to a great team headed towards a Rose Bowl and a likely Nat'l Title.

    Aint over till it's over. Injuries, fired up opponent on the day your team is not so fired up, bad calls, dropped balls, ..yup stuff happens.
