    I have a power ranking system and I also use extraneous factors - motivation, letdown, sandwich games, etc.

    is USC - who should be a 20 point favorite by my rankings.

    to manage a different team.  Peter O'Malley says McCourt(s) should sell the Dodgers.  And Pads, despite being stomped by St. Louis, lose no ground to Giants, who lose to Brewers.

    13-7 USC over MN at halftime (none / 0) (#13)
    by DFLer on Sat Sep 18, 2010 at 04:23:00 PM EST
    USC 2 touchdowns, one PAT, one failed 2-point conversion.

    MN one TD & PAT

    Turnovers for both teams, dubious call by the refs on a turnover to USC on a punt (they said it hit a gopher's foot)USC got the ball at MN 27, toward the end of the 1st half, but ferocious D pushed em back to their own 48...no score

    USC gets the ball first in the 2nd half

    oh yeah MN 14 USC 13 (none / 0) (#14)
    by DFLer on Sat Sep 18, 2010 at 04:38:12 PM EST
    MN scored a TD after a @ 60 yd drive after an pass interception.

    these updates are for you ...of course if MN starts to lose, I will probably disappear.

    USC just scored TD on a kickoff return.

    Good ...2 point conversion attempt fails again.

    Score USC 19 - MN 14
