They still have a chance, as I said.

It would be significantly better had they been able to beat Louisville, but they along with Rutgers truly hold their futures in their hands....

It's great they still have a chance with this not quite together team. I think most WVU fans think we're a year away but I'd sure be happy to get there sooner (even if the Big Ten champ beats us up).

Well, Roll Tide! And Go Blue!

(I'm not really a Michigan fan, but since my f-i-l went there, I will cheer for them. Not to mention that hubby loves 'em.)

What's interesting is that both the Michigan at Ohio State game and the Cal at USC game could end up being classics.

>> Duke at (18) Georgia Tech (-26.5) ****UPSET WATCH****

Georgia Tech 21 – Duke 3 <<

I went to Tech. I root for Tech.
But this is exactly the kind of game where they underperform - I'd take Duke and 26 points in a heart beat.

And for all you fans of that big game, here's few ditties for you:

Ohio State ("Across the Field"):

Fight the team across the field
Show them Ohio's here,
Set the earth reverberating
With a mighty cheer,
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Hit them hard and see how they fall,
Never let that team get the ball,
Hail, hail, the gang's all here,
So let's win that old conference now.

University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) ("Hail to the Victors")

Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan
The leaders and best!
Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan,
The champions of the West!

I think Ohio State wins 28-20.

This is shaping up to be a very interesting season. If Michigan should win this weekend (unlikely, I think) and Notre Dame should beat USC (also pretty unlikely), it sets up a rematch of these two teams for all the marbles.

Rutgers
"The Bells Must Ring"

March, men of Rutgers,
Down the field today,
March to another score,
Foward to the fray,
Fight! men of Rutgers
As in days gone by,
Fight! for the Scarlet flag
Over the rest must fly.

(Chorus)
Keep Rutgers colors to the fore,
For they must win so fight, fight, fight!
And we'll advance some more to score,
The Rutgers flag flies high tonight, alright, alright.
We'll fling the Scarlet banner out,
And Rutgers men will fight, fight, fight!
The bells of Queens each victr'y shout,
The bells of Queens must ring tonight.
RU Rah Rah!
RU Rah Rah!
Hoorah! Hoorah!
Rutgers Rah!
Upstream Redteam!
Redteam Upstream!
Rah Rah Rutgers Rah!

The Cal/USC game has some interesting angles. If Cal wins, they return to the Rose Bowl for the first time since 1959, the longest period for any Pac-10 team.

If USC wins, it has the Rose Bowl ticket in its back pocket, but still might play the winner of the OSU/Michigan game in Arizona if they close out undefeated against Notre Dame and UCLA.

That would be like moving the old Rose Bowl matchup to Glendale, Arizona.

Pete Carroll is undefeated in November since taking over the reins at USC. But Cal wants that Rose Bowl bid that it lost a couple of years ago when the flawed BCS formula put Texas there instead and sent the 4th ranked team in the country to the Holiday Bowl.

Bears and Trojans in the Colosseum. Kind of like an ancient gladiator duel coming up about 90 minutes after the OSU/Michigan game is over.

I don't know about that.

well maybe now that I think about it. That defense needs to be better before they'll get the respect they deserve.

that should be a fun game although I'll be a bit too sloshed by then either way to care :)

I don't think so, at least not this time around.

They could yes.

Although I believe that one or the other will end up being rather boring.
