Plus, I don't think Hazard has had that bad of a season. They finished 7-3 losing to 3 pretty good teams. Another thing is they have played a lot of this season without some key players. They seem to be entering the playoffs with more of their team than they have played with for the season. Watch out, Hazard could be dangerous in the playoffs.

I agree. Its kind of hard to knock a team who hasnt been healthy all season. I think just because Hazard isnt undefeated or lost just 1 game no one thinks they can compete. As you said Hazard has a big advantage having home field advantage. Hazard plays well at home and the last home loss was to Danville on Setember 22, 2006. Thats a pretty long time since they have been beat at home. I believe Hazard gets the O rolling and the defense going and marches right on to Louisville.
