First, Georgia with all the talent in about three or four universes still got beat in a quarter of their outings last year. So, contrary to what some feel, they may not actually walk on water.

Second, they have yet to do anything this year on the field that is any more remarkable than what ND has done.

Third, we definitely have absolutely no pressure. The entire world has been saying for weeks that the game itself is just a formality and Georgia already won. That usually does not help the team upon which the love is being lavished. We sometimes surprise in this sitch, like when we pounded Oklahoma.

Fourth, even flat, if you are right ( and I am not sure you are) we beat Louisville on the road at night by a decisive margin.


So, weighing those factors and influenced by my love of the Irish, I decided the experts just may be mistaken. We'll see.
