[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 254976, member: 2426"] Last year GT was 2-5 and FSU was 6-0 headed into that game. If the records of the teams was a deciding factor in the outcome of the games, then there was no reason to play the game, just anoint FSU 7-0 and GT 2-6. GT had one fewer wins and 2 more losses heading into a game against a team that was predicted to be playing for a playoff spot in their game against Clemson. There was more reason to be discouraged last year, yet the team was able to pull of an upset. Further, except for the Clemson game and perhaps the ND game, GT was in the other games until very late. You can make predictions based on the records of the teams, the competition the teams have faced, injuries, etc. However, predictions are only for fans to argue about or get excited about. Even predictions based on computer models do not count for anything. Just because the "experts" believe that one team "should" beat another team does not mean that it will happen. The "experts" said that Alabama should beat Arkansas and they did. The "experts" said that Houston should be Navy but they did not. Teams should focus on what they are doing. The coaches need to game plan. The players need to study tendencies and perfect their techniques. If Lee Corso puts on your headgear on Saturday morning, the score is still 0-0 at kickoff Saturday afternoon or evening. [/QUOTE]
