Well, the Huskies show up in Miami tonight with PLENTY to prove. Let’s start with reaction to the BCS Selection Show when Northern Illinois was selected over several highprofile teams to play in the Orange Bowl. “I love MAC football, but to put them in the BCS is an absolute JOKE to the rest &#8230;<br/><br/><a href='http://www.horseraceinsider.com/Marc-Lawrence-Playbook'>MORE...</a>]]>

With only three losses this season by a grand total of 4 points, the Patriots have the look of a cat that just ate the whole bird. In this case, New England did when they devoured the Jets on Thanksgiving Day in a 30&#45;point feast.

 <![CDATA[RICE over Smu by 7 Is there any 6&#45;4 team out there right now that’s as schizoid as SMU? Here’s an outfi t that lost outright as a 19&#45;point favorite to pitiful Tulane – who was 0&#45;5 at the time – then utterly destroyed Houston, 72&#45;42. Wait… they’re not done. After getting spanked as a single&#45;digit dog by UCF, 42&#45;17, the Mustangs rebounded to smother Southern Miss, 34&#45;16. Simply put, you never know which team you’re going to get when &#8230;<br/><br/><a href='http://www.horseraceinsider.com/Marc-Lawrence-Playbook'>MORE...</a>]]>
