On #6, are you looking for winning percentage? Our record against those teams is outstanding.

My only other guess would be vs. Atlanta then.

#7- Denver?

Atlanta is correct for #6 and Denver for #7. Check on both.

@nickers said:

there was also Lakeland Community College for many years.

Check on that answer.
