GO USC, BEAT ACLU!! Fight On, Trojans! Beat the Bruins!

LSU beating Arkansas must have impressed the folks out in California. It did. It seemed like Arkansas was a team on the rise, playing better each week. It was a good win for LSU!
To: ABG(anybody but Gore)
Is that really the talk in BR. I read the online Advocate today, and it seemed that the Rose people were playing it down. Also, if Arkansas wins, do you think there's any chance they jump LSU? Perhaps it must be a huge win. If so, (I never thought I'd be saying this) Go Gators!

Yeah it does....
Maybe it'll be one of those classic 7-6 games where they run the ball 90 times combined :)

Forget that stupid question. If Ark wins they go to Sugar. I think my question should have been if Ark does win, is there any chance Florida could be invited instead of LSU.?
To: MikefromOhio
How can you have a live thread with all these games?
I'm probably going to start a Army/Navy live thread Saturday morning.
Go Navy!

Virtually none. Unless is a VERY close game and the voters don't drop Florida too much, to the point that LSU can't overtake them in the BCS. The thing is that if Florida loses, LSU is almost assured of an automatic BCS slot by being #4 in the BCS.

Signature USC vs ACLU game
Nov. 18, 1967: USC 21, UCLA 20
It wasn't just for the honor of winning a crosstown rivalry. It wasn't just for the Rose Bowl. This was, possibly, for the national title as No. 1 UCLA and star quarterback Gary Beban squared off against No. 2 USC and its young tailback O.J. Simpson. Beban was magnificent as he threw for 301 yards even though he was playing with bad ribs. Tied 14-14 early in the fourth quarter, Beban hit Dave Nuttall with a 20-yard TD pass to take the lead, but the Trojans blocked the extra point.
And then it was showtime.
In the history of Trojan football and all the spectacular tailbacks, there has been no greater run than the dash that was to come from Simpson. It was third and eight on USC's own 36. The Trojans had replaced Steve Sogge at quarterback with Toby Page to get the better passer in the game. With a pass play called, Page changed the call at the line of scrimmage to Red 23-Blast when he saw the Bruin linebackers drop back into pass coverage. The play call would go to an exhausted Simpson, who cut through the line before bouncing left. He then cut back right appearing to be shot out of a cannon as he tore up the field for a 64-yard touchdown and the win. The victory gave the Trojans the Pac 8 title and a berth in the Rose Bowl where they beat Indiana and won the national title. UCLA would finish 10th, but Beban would win the Heisman Trophy. Simpson would win it the following season while this play, and this game, made him a superstar... And the rest is history...

Actually if Central Michigan was 3-8 or so, Florida would be a lot closer to Michigan than Michigan is to USC...
So yes you could make a case that Central Michigan being a decent team has helped Michigan's SOS.

I know that. I'm a big Navy fan and I've been looking forward to this game. My only point is it would be more enjoyable to have a separate thread for it than trying to sort through all the different posts from various games on yours.
Does that make sense?
