The stakes aren't high, nothing is riding on this game. Both teams have now lost to unranked opponents, and subsequently lost all respect. The only way either one of them have a chance at winning a title is if they play each other, or some other team that's half as overrated as they are. No self-respecting intelligent football fan takes either team seriously. We all just kind of look at the matchup and laugh at the futile efforts both teams are making.</p> Yawn.
