If feet play DTS there will be CPP.  Unless they have righted the ship I don't see them beating south

See the ship is going along nicely and then a bit of uncharacteristic performance so you "right" the ship to get it back on it's previous path.  Get it?

Even on it's previous path the DTS game would have been a very difficult game.  Would have picked them before the break.  Not as confident now

Who's expectation or standard are we talking about? Is it possible that maybe the lower ranked team has improved? Or maybe the higher ranked team has leveled off? It could be that perhaps a key player or two was missing from the higher ranked team on that particular day or in that tournament. Or, as we all know, play on the field isn't always reflected in the final score. But sometimes maybe the final result is actually earned based on play on the field in that game/tournament, not due to one team letting up, getting off to a slow start, or just getting lucky. Time usually tells.

Ntx lingo: if your Dds team wins...lucky...if my Dds team loses...unlucky. Nothing to do with skills or improvement.

Everyone has a biased opinion. That's just human nature. Another problem is that a lot of people like to comment on games that they didn't actually witness. You may be "tired of hearing about higher ranked teams" but the reality is that the higher ranked teams are who people talk about. That'll never change. This rings true for all sports on all levels. Do you ever hear anybody talking about the Bills or the Browns? Heck no! Not unless they're at least in the playoffs. At the end of the day you have to look at the standings. Whether a team has "leveled off", "lucky", or "unlucky" or not, you are right: Time will tell and so will the standings/rankings. Results on the field are usually earned, but yes, sometimes a team outplays another but still gets a tie or a loss. A great mind once said, "ish happens."
