[QUOTE="bobongo, post: 904061, member: 3893"] It's ambiguous. The phrase "who currently have a winning record" could apply to either "teams" or "P-5 opponents". Also, it should read "who currently have winning records" and the mixing of singular and plural serves to add to the confusion. The only way to know which "winning record" is meant is to decipher with deductive reasoning that the phrase must refer to "P-5 opponents", because all of them have winning records while one among the "teams" does not (Georgia Tech). But you would have to look up all of the "opponents" to know that. The English language lends itself to this kind of ambiguity between modifiers of subject and predicate (although in this case there is no predicate because the tweet isn't a complete sentence).
