If we take care of Oklahoma, then we have the same win that KSU will have as their best victory in addition to having a more difficult schedule. I think we would go and play the Ducks in that scenario.

That is what everyone has been saying, and I hope you're all right. KSU imo has looked the most impressive this year. Saw them in person in Morgantown last week. Be crazy to leave them out. Plus they would have a BIG 12 championship game to improve their BCS standings while we sit idle. Once again I hope you're right, but i'm not fully buying it just yet.

Irresponsible move by RichRod keeping Scott in after the hit to his head and subsequent vomiting. He should have been out and looked at for a concussion then, not after the drive. Thank God the kid didn't take another hit despite running the ball one of the next plays.

This.

I am the first one to say I would love usc to lose every game they ever play. But our NC chances may very well be dependent on their success.

My thoughts exactly. I want the Irish to win tonight and the next three with a huge game vs USC with national title implications. Go Irish!

How about if USC loses today but beats Oregon next week? That's win-win for the Irish, no? Provided we handle business versus OU tonight.

That's true. KSU could technically meet OU again in the Big12 Championship.

Not if the SEC champ isn't undefeated and there are two undefeated teams.

I was thinking about this as I was watching Georgia finish the game up. If Alabama loses and two of the remaining top teams are still undefeated, then it's my opinion that those two teams should obviously play for the championship. However, given the current sports media infatuation for SEC football, is there any way that the human polls would still be skewed enough in favor of a once defeated SEC champion team to have them jump over an undefeated team and play for the BCS championship? I would certainly hope not...but I could see it happening.

I've heard numerous "experts" call the Big 12 the strongest conference this year. Not saying I agree with this. But it be pretty crazy to leave the best team from the best conference out of the title game. Sooooo lets just hope Oregon and KSU lose. ha

I think this was before Texas and West Virgina were exposed as not being great teams and being incapable of playing any defense whatsoever.

I'm now affiliated with Arizona...

That was an amazing game. RichRod's offense is really clicking in Tucson.

Rutgers lost to Kent State today. Hope Alquadin Muhammad noticed our domination of OU.


Undefeated, 7th-ranked Oregon State loses to Washington.

Not a huge upset but TAMU is taking it to Miss State. Alabama looking more and more like they could lose tonight (hopefully). 24-0 TAMU at half

Mizzo is beating florida at half too. 7-0 Mizzo.

Mississippi State = Vanderbilt. Thanks to SEC bias they got to #11 with the biggest fluke of a 7-0 record this year.

Florida is overrated and has helped the SEC to keep their overrated bias in tact. SCar is overrated also. UGA is a toss up as far as what team shows up. Bama is the only dominant team in the conference. I actually think A&M is the second best team in the conference. If they played Florida this late in the year instead of early, I think A&M would have won.
