Week 11 Wish List

[koonja]

This weekend we'll see a lot of movement. Notable non-ND games that impact ND: Who I think we want to win.

FSU @ Louisville: FSU

Auburn @ Ole Miss: ?

Florida @ Georgia: Florida

Purdue @ Nebraska: Purdue (don't want OSU/MSU to get credit for beating anyone ranked)

Stanford @ Oregon: Stanford

Utah @ Arizona St: ASU

Arkansas @ Mississippi St: Arkansas

Oklahoma St. @ Kansas St: OK ST

TCU @ WVU: WVU

AZ @ UCLA: UCLA (want Oregon loss to them to look bad).

BC @ VT: BC (Want that OSU loss to continue to look as bad as possible).

Of these games, I think Stanford, Arkansas (MSU is tired and Razorbacks are due), Kansas St., WVU, UCLA (luckiest team in country), Florida have the best chance of winning.

I think between Auburn/Ole Miss, I'd take an Auburn win over the Rebels.

I think Bama beats Auburn in the Iron Bowl to end the season, which gives Auburn at least their second loss. A quick second loss for Ole Miss essentially makes their road much harder, and it would then, in turn, be awesome to see a two-loss Ole Miss beat Mississippi State later in the season.

Good point considering Auburn is @ Bama and Miss St. is @ Ole Miss for those two games.

I think FSU win is most important followed by a Stanford upset.

 

[Irish YJ]

Some exciting stuff. And some folks said a playoff would make the season less important.....

I think it's just the opposite. It keeps more teams in top form trying to win every week, even after a loss.

 

[IrishLion]

Chaos everywhere, all the while ND takes care of business. That's the best case scenario.

I'm beginning to worry that Oregon/MSU/Bama are all going to end up winning out though.

If Oregon's o-line stays healthy and they get by Stanford this weekend, Mariota can win them any other game they play.

Bama has flaws, but it appears that Kiffin may be getting his offensive stuff together just in time for that old "peaking at the right time" thing to happen.

Michigan State will be able to bully Ohio State with their run game, so I don't have much faith in anyone knocking them off.

But hey, it took the last minute for things to shake out in 2012, so here's to hoping.

 

[OrlaNDomer]

Miss St > Ole Miss
Ole Miss > Auburn
Auburn > Alabama

Miss St end undefeated with every other SEC team having 2 losses.

Friends don't let friends root for UCLA.

Friends don't let friends root for UCLA.

Lol. Assuming Oregon and ND win out though, we have to root against Arizona, no?

Am I drunk or is the WVU/TCU game not on TV? It's gameday so it has to be.

ESPN's have Houston game, Virginia game, Purdue game at 3:30pm, and ABC is also showing the Purdue game at 3:30pm, while CBS is the Florida game.

Maybe they screwed up and listed the Purdue game twice accidentally.

ESPN2 is the only one I see that may be covering the WVU/TCU game. It might be regional coverage or something because it says the TCU/WVU game or Purdue/Nebraska game.

You might be drunk, but my channel guide shows the same thing. ABC has the Purdue locally.

My biggest wish...ND's D-lineman get out of the Navy game without injury. The rest will eventually take care of itself.

Oh yeah, Stanford showing the world how truly bad Oregon's O-line and defense is would be cool as well.
