EVEN THE IMPOSSIBLE HAS SHOT IN SEASON OF UPSETS AS POWERade SERIES HITS BACKSTRETCH OF COUNTDOWN PLAYOFFS
It’s the season for the impossible.
Let’s take the NFL, for instance.

football for good reason – would roll all over a humbled New England
Patriots in a 38-13 decision in Week 3.
Over on the college football front, it’s been the same. Three of the
five teams featured on Sports Illustrated’s preview covers (hello,
jinx) have already experienced embarrassing defeats that left devoted
fans in Ohio, Florida, Georgia and Southern California deflated and
confused.
