    This link from CFN/Fox Sports is eerily similar to some of the same things I have been saying on this board for days. I'm starting to think this guy is stealing my material.

    You have to look down toward the middle of the article to see the 10 reasons.

    Also, he offers that next week the 10 reasons why Ohio State will win are coming.

    Seven more reasons why the Gators can win:

    1978 Sugar Bowl -- Alabama 35 - OSU 6

    1990 Outback Bowl -- Auburn 31 - OSU 14

    1993 Citrus Bowl -- Georgia 21 - OSU 14

    1996 Citrus Bowl -- Alabama 24 - OSU 17

    1997 Citrus Bowl -- Tennessee 20 - OSU 14

    2001 Outback Bowl -- South Carolina 24 - OSU 7

    2002 Outback Bowl -- South Carolina 31 - OSU 28

    OSU is 0-7 vs. the SEC in bowls

    Mo, You forgot to highlight the disclaimer at the bottom of the page.

    Sorry this column sucked, but it wasn’t my fault … Those Michigan lawmakers submitted a resolution that said the column sucked. It passed

    According to this the favorite in the last 13 NC games is 5-8.

    http://www.collegefootballpoll.com/commentary.html

    In two of those winning years for the favorite they easily won against teams that did not win their conference and were blown out in their previous game (Neb,OU) so those two years don't really apply this year.

    Looks like the favorite is 3-8 in games that seemed more evenly contested going in or in games which the favorite line was inflated to double-digits for unsound reasons.

    How the hell Florida was a 9 point favorite in 1995 is beyond me.

    Any breakdown on the record when the game was played on an even numbered day vs. an odd numbered?

    How about white jerseys vs. the colored ones?
