[Husker] Game worries

[Lynette Tillner]

I'm not sure Top 5 FB teams reach Six Sigma, (99.997%)  Three Sigma or Four 
maybe....

True. But upsets are rare. The better team rarely loses, especially at
home.  I wish I had time to do the research on this, but I'll bet that
when a top five team plays an unranked team at home, the ranked team
wins in at least 95% of the games, maybe close to 99%.
