”Well the top 5 control their own destinies.”
How can anyone have control if it is destined to happen?

That phrase drives me up the walk. The sports announcers use it way too often and it doesn’t make sense.

You expect sense out of sportscasters? They are nothing but walking cliches and catchphrases.

If they win the rest of their games, they will win the National Championship.

If UCF wins out, it still needs help.

Here is another one for you.

Hugely. As in, that play is hugely important for them to control their destiny.

When did the word “very” become out of fashion?
