Here we are. A matchup of ranked Tigers. One is undefeated. The other isn’t. And the one that is probably isn’t the one the college football world thought it would be.
I’ve said and written about the phenomenon that, when a team goes on a winning-streak to open the year, ever next game is the biggest game of the year. Why? It’s simple: in a small-sample size sport like this one, one loss can knock out your goals, and the longer you string together the wins the better chance you have of achieving all the goals of that season.
