I hope not, although I think that if Florida is also unbeaten in it's final games, they won't get jumped by ND....

[MikefromOhio]

should be a fun one to watch...

Cal is just quirky enough this year too pull that one off...

[MikefromOhio]

that's one of the longest fight songs I've seen...

[GOP_Raider]

New Mexico hasn’t disappointed yet this year. I pick them, they lose. I pick against them, they win. I paper this one doesn’t look like it will be very close. Let’s see how this prediction goes….

If New Mexico beats the mouth-breathing, window licking POS from Provo I'll personally drive to Albuquerque pick some random bar and buy the house a round. And you think I'm kidding. :)

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

well it's been kind of amazing this year with me picking New Mexico games.

I haven't been right once.

Even though the media and fans would love to see Mich v. ND, I don't they they jump Arkansas/Florida. Also, ND winning at USC....

[rockthecasbah]

Ok - It's time for me to recycle another urban LA legend:

A story worth repeating.

USC has not lost a game at home in five years, a streak which started in 2001 when the Carson Palmer-led team needed overtime to beat Oregon State.

Before USC’s win against Oregon State in 2001, J.K. McKay, who is the son of legendary Trojans coach John McKay, sneaked into the stadium with former USC quarterback Pat Haden and spread his father’s ashes along the USC sideline.

Call it a coincidence, call it divine intervention, call it whatever you want, but somehow since the ashes of the winning-est coach in USC history were mixed in with the L.A. Memorial Coliseum grass, USC has been unbeatable in the Coliseum.

I don't know if that story is true or not. I've heard it before.

No team has ever won the Pac-10 championship five years in a row. That could change on Saturday.

It's set up as potentially a great day of college football about a day and a half from now. Even if the games stink, there's going to be a shakeup in the post-season picture.

[MikefromOhio]

The Backyard Brawl is on ESPN right now....

[PRND21]

Cool story...Coach McKay was one of the best, imo.

[aft_lizard]

Looks like WVU's defense has improved...not. Pitt marches on first drive for a TD, 7-0, Pitt will do the same I am sure.

[MikefromOhio]

Yeah this one might have a LOT of scoring.

Pitt has the offense to hang, but I don't think they'll get too many defensive stops.

[aft_lizard]

For a rivarlry game between two winning records there sure are alot of empty seats there. Oh well. Tied all up 7-7.

[MikefromOhio]

Lots of rain today in Western PA, the weather has a lot to do with it.

[MoJo2001]

After watching WVU play Louisville, I wouldn't count Pitt out.

[aft_lizard]

Oh yeah WVU leads 14-7 now.

[MikefromOhio]

Yeah pretty much, although Pitt doesn't have the offense Louisville does...

"Cool story....Coach McKay was one of the best, imo."

Always good for a classic one-liner too. One of his best was after a loss, when a reporter asked "what do think about your team's execution tonight?". McKay's response, "I'm in favor of it."

Dear Old Nebraska U
(There is No Place Like Nebraska)

There is no place like Nebraska
Dear old Nebraska U.
Where the girls are the fairest,
The boys are the squarest,
Of any old school that I knew.

There is no place like Nebraska,
Where they're all true blue.
We'll all stick together,
In all kinds of weather,
For Dear old Nebraska U!

Hail Varsity

(Nebraska Fight Song)

Hail to the team
The stadium rings as everyone sings,
The Scarlet and Cream.
Cheers for a victory, echo our loyalty;
So, on mighty men,
The eyes of the land, upon every hand,
Are looking at you.
Fight on for victory
Hail to the Men of Nebraska U.

TD Pitt 14-14
