The ACC being down actually helps the "last mid-major standing" in Boise St because if BSU finishes in the top 16 in the BCS standings ahead of any of the other conf. champions, they're in.
Unfortunately I think Boise gets a better opponent than we did and I think they get beat very convincingly if they run into a team that can stop the run.
The thing that people have to understand, if they havent noticed it yet, is that BC is not a 56-0 coach unless the D he faces is terrible, he goes into a conservative mode to preserve the lead and to not make mistakes. However after a loss he tends to let his players open up more to rebuild confidence.
Plus I dont think the OSU Qb is upto snuff.
yeah but if Clemson does run the table and win the ACC, I don't think Boise St will be able to jump them.
we will see....
I don't trust Beau Bridges and neither should you.
I can't believe the College Football Season is over half gone already!
Iowa's starting QB (Drew Tate) is reported out for Saturday game, maybe until the Bowl game, assuming we'll make a bowl.
Still hoping for a Jan 1 FLA bowl if we win out, but the Alamo Bowl is looking more practical. But three of our 4 remaining games are at Kinnick and the last game is at Kinnick North (Minn - there are typically as many Iowa fans as Minny fans).
If the Defense steps up we can do it!
I love college Football!
On Iowa -
Go Hawkeyes!
You're right. It would basically take someone not named Clemson winning the ACC for the scenario I described to happen. So something like them getting upset in the ACC title game, but I wouldn't be too optimistic about that happening.
I'm surprised Minnesota can get the Metrodome half full. Thats gotta be the worst place for a college football game.
at the rate they are going, they need to get the ball back and score.....
a new year's day bowl will be hard to get too at this point.
That means jumping Wisconsin and Penn State, which may be a hard thing to go...
Still the Cap One Bowl is in reach....
Upset Alert:
Virginia Tech 17
Clemson 7
Clemson is in trouble. They have been flat all game.
I'm not upset about it.
I know, but the people who didn't take VT are....
of course not taking VT is kinda dumb on a Thursday night game.....they always seem to win....
Just tuned in a few minutes ago...
Looks like VT is gonna take them to the limit here.
Clemson needs a big turnover to get back in it.
yeah I don't think they are gonna get it....
If they hold VT to a FG here, then they have a chance.
If they don't (probably when they don't) it's over....
I'm still trying to figure out why you picked Baylor to beat A&M twice this weekend.

||||||||||||||||||||||||
because someone requested that I pick A&M every week whether they are ranked or not.
So I give a little line about why I picked them....
Okay, that kinda sorta makes sense, but it made for an extra stroke-inducing flashing landmine. ;-)
Remember you can not use the phrase "World Largest Cocktail Party". It makes the President of Georgia all upset. If you do it he may hold hold the letter q hostage.
