6-Pack Mid-Season "Need More Data" Teams: Still holding off giving my full seal of approval:
#11 Louisville (11-2): I can't trust a coach with dorky glasses like Pat Kelsey wears.

Gophers complete the "Cupcake City" bucket unblemished with a 60-43 snoozer over FDU.
Now the hard part. ... start beating a few good teams you're not expected to beat.
Got Michigan at 25-1 back in early spring.
