This is based on predicted betting lines between any two teams on a neutral field. Now you know why North Carolina is favored against undefeated Wake Forest on Saturday.

Here are the teams we would be the biggest underdogs against.

7.5 pts or higher:

Georgia - 20 pts.
Alabama - 18 pts
Ohio St. - 14 pts

4-7 pts.

Oklahoma - 7 pts
Cincinnati - 7 pts.
Michigan - 5 pts
Florida - 4 pts







I buy the former 3 projected betting lines...

Not so sure about the latter 4, esp. about my other alma mater. That doesn't matter, however, as ND presumably would face 1 of the former 3 in a playoff.

Did UF did better or worse against UGA than you expected?

They held Georgia for a while and then the floodgates burst open.
Worse--I figured it would be more competitive than that...

The 3TD blitz in last 3 minutes of 1st half shocked me, and I suspect, those who actually care about the Gators. When they took AL down to wire in Swamp, I expected much better from them. Mullen went 21-5 his first 2 years at UF and has now gone 12-8 last 2 years.
